Bring me the head of Lisa Schwartzbaum
Hey, Lisa Schwartzbaum? Your reviews consistently suck. Dial it back a notch, hon - save the scathing criticism for a movie *not* based on a cheesy, campy Disneyworld ride. I mean, come on - it's about *pirates*!
Thanks, just had to get that off my chest. Hi, I'm Jordan. You may remember me from such spotty, inconsistent posts as "Sorry, I've been really busy" and "I hate it when guys call underwear 'panties'." Well, I *am* busy, but so are all of you, I'm sure, and you're still making the effort, so here we go:
The last time I posted was sometime before the Fourth. Since then I've written a paper for the Comm. class I'm taking, forgotten to study for a midterm and found someone to replace me at my job. Said job is crazy right now, but it'll all quiet down after August 2, which is the day of our biggest event of the year. Watch the Life Time Fitness Triathlon on NBC Saturday, August 2, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
chicklet_girl had a birthday. I have chosen to celebrate the holiday this weekend, since I wasn't in town on her actual birthday. We're heading down to the lake Friday afternoon. My sister and cousin and I are running in a 10-K; other than that, I'm going to do my damnedest to make sure the chicklet has a fabulous belated birthday weekend. I'm even making her a pie.
Okay, so last weekend? The fiance and I met with a pastor about performing our wedding. Now, I knew in the back of my head that fiance's mom's church is Missouri Synod Lutheran (and apologies in advance to anyone who subscribes to this sect), but I'm not sure I realized just how conservative this bunch is. Dude, it was traumatic. After about a half hour of going on about how Christianity is the one true faith and all other religions will in the end be proven false and how Satan is at work spreading all these horrible "other faith" germs through the world, and after I'm racking my brain to find out what this has to do with my wedding, he launches into the adultery tirade. Yeah, we live together. Is our sex life anyone's business? Apparently, Reverend Missouri Synod thought so. He goes into this lecture about renouncing god's law and how we're guilty of "premeditated and unrepentant sinning" every day we live together... come on, he compared us to kids who snoop for their Christmas presents in October and then are disappointed on Christmas morning. So after presenting us with our options (go to the courthouse and get married tomorrow or move to separate residences and not have sex til next May, in which case, there ain't gonna be no wedding), we politely excused ourselves and ran the hell away as fast as we could. I think my cousin said it best after I regaled him with the details: "Honey, Missouri Synods are one step up from snake handlers".
So we're going to try our luck with the ELCA Lutherans and see what happens. Sorry for that really long story.
I'm still Phil-crazy over here girls and I miss dishing about TAR with y'alls. So tomorrow - we'll dish. Tonight's leg is so a non-elimination, though.
