we (sarah and i) printed out and went over the local and state props for the election tomorrow, realized again that we only agree about 80% on most political questions, which i think is actually pretty good, and then dodged off to mission valley for sushi and CostCo. I'd been inside a wholesale retail shop before, but this was the first time as ( Read more... )

Sarah and I are getting married at the end of the month. As it turns out, Thanksgiving weekend is officially the worst time to get married, on account of the people who have to fly in from out of town and that being the shittiest weekend ever for flying.

if ever you find yourself driving around a strange town, realizing for the tenth time that you really have no idea where you are, or where you're going, repeat to yourself this mantra: at least i'm not doing this in iraq ( Read more... )
