Misc. Ramblings...
Ah HAH! I just placed in the mail (at 10PM) the application for Annie's health insurance. I imagine she'll get accepted as the only thing that was ever 'wrong' with her was pneumonia when she was 9, and that is long over. We went with the conservative HMO route rather than the on-the-edge-gambling PPO plan. Trust me, it is for the better. Better to pay a bit more per month than to be screwed if something bad happens.
Getting things slowly done, piece by piece. Still need to talk to a few people and get the groomsmen gifts set up...anyone have any ideas? None of my groomsmen read this, so it is pretty much an open forum. Any ideas? No knives, flasks, lighters...life would be so easy if I could just get them each a pair of 'groomsmen' boxers. That would be funny...though not as funny as 20 lbs. of lilipops (1800 count). I was seriously considering that, even though they are $45/case. That would be priceless. The looks on their faces when they cracked open the box, and started digging through, thinking there was something in there worth having. I would be rolling on the floor. I also had the idea of getting everyone silver-plated yo-yos, a non-silver plated gift I had received from my best friend/best man when I turned 16, "sorry dude, I know it's lame, but I forgot and couldn't come empty handed". HE would fall off his chair if I got him a silver plated yo-yo. I may, just to mess with him...though it'll be too late for the wedding. Heh. Speaking of presents, the day that is quickly winding to a close in my neck of the woods was his birthday. I just sent him an email...so yeah.
Remember those tooth-whitening strips I talked about a couple posts ago? Screw 'em. No, really. When breathing through your nose causes the roof of your mouth to cool enough to set off cold-sensitivity pains in your teeth that hit you like a sledgehammer, you stop it. I certainly do not deserve such pain, and I can live with slightly yellow teeth for my wedding. I've had sensitive teeth since I was a child, and though they have gradually gotten less sensitive, it still hurts when the cold overwhelms them.
Ahh, and to close for the evening, everyone should go and visit Clean Sheets Erotica Magazine, if only for their articles on Masturbation ( May is National Masturbation Month, YAY!). There are other items including poetry, short stories, opinions, etc. Link snagged from Daze Reader sex news blog. Another pair of links snagged include some Matrix slash: "Xhale Slowly" (Neo/Agent Smith) and "Zion" (Neo/Tank). I've not read either one, nor do I plan to, but the thought of either one makes me laugh in that 'oh jesus christ' laugh. Neo and Agent Smith, maybe I'll have to read it just to get a hearty laugh going, but not tonight.
(quick little update)
If you've not seen the E3 trailer of Doom 3, you should.
1. Download bittorrent for your machine
2. Suck down the 31 meg trailer in divx 5 format
3. Enjoy.
(another quick little update)
Remember me talking about the SCO vs. IBM thing, well in early March Eric S. Raymond (one of the front-men of the open source movement) posted an article basically pointing out where SCO is a bunch of lying bastards, read here if you are curious/interested. He says it all, and doesn't froth at the mouth like I would.
