I can’t say everything about this weekend has been great, in fact there’s been at least one extremely low moment, but having Wedding Boy and his Bride back sure has been wonderful. I guess he’s post-Wedding Boy anymore. Got to hang out with them twice yesterday and they’re coming over tomorrow for some bbq and games.

Finally got a little table for my deck, plus some tiki torches, paper lanterns and some more little pots to finish planting my flowers. I’m throwing a birthday party for a pal next week so I needed to get things in order for company. The house is clean and the sun is shining.

Saw Shrek 2 last night. It was cute and the animation was better than the first one I thought, but the story was kinda weak. But it was good escape, and boy I needed to escape.

I need to work some today. I needed to remember to show myself some kindness and to make sure I’m taking care of me.

The 100 worst porn move titles. Brassiere to Eternity ? Willie Wanker and the Fudge Packing Factory ? The commentary made me laugh out loud a couple times.

One that makes me mad and one that makes me glad.

Re-instituting the Draft? Are you kidding me???? I can’t believe this shit.

Fundrace.org is a site where you can plug in your address and find out who your neighbors give political contributions to. not surpisingly i found that most of my neighbors were donating to the Dems. (site may be flaky due to NY Times article about it)

it’s one of those freaky web things!

i’ve been illin’. a bit of the nasty flu that’s been going around. lots of co-workers down and out. it’s not pretty. i stayed home yesterday and then left early today. not good. lots of work going undone.

bleary eyes. sore throat. cranky, cranky, cranky. want to lay on carpet at work. drinking lots of water. pet cat. sleep. tivo. gameboy. email. AIM stalking. baaaaaad reality TV on Christian’s recommendation. and I mean really bad. The WB Superstar USA bad. seriously. ice cream. orkut browsing. butt on couch.

for you mac-heads who IM out there, i’ve started using Adium. the interface is not as slick as iChat, but i can be logged into multiple messaging servers and it has a tabbed message window. it’s like Trillian for the mac. OS X only.

and champagne and yummy steaks and my friend’s awesome, awesome house on the Mendocino coast.

it was my third year at the Anderson Valley Pinot Festival and once again the wine and BBQ was most excellent. i can’t imagine not going to this event.

and this year i finally did it. i broke down and bought myself a present – i got the vertical set from Roederer. 6 bottles of L’Ermitage from 1989 to 1994. wowee!

it’s always good to take these one day vacations – even an overnight can get me back to my old self.

… but this is fucking hot.

Lemme put this out there that I hated Boston Rob on Survivor this year. And then last night was the finale and he had to utter the words, “Will ya marry me, Ambuh?”

Yuck. That was certainly the lamest moment in a pretty lame finale, both the final show and the reunion show.

Other lame moments: Jerri getting booed and leaving. Susan getting up and showing off her plastic surgery makeover stuff. Richard interrupting everyone everytime they tried to say something different from him. Boston Rob crying about how bad he felt about how he treated everyone. Jenna’s makeup. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop the madness now. I hope next season is better.

On the other hand, Hairspray: The Musical, which is playing at The Golden Gate Theatre in SF was AMAZING. Go see it. The sets, costumes and songs were all fab-u-lous.

Tivo is Back.

Very cool to finally see some pics of me from the wedding. I hadn’t seen myself in a tux.
