All your bridesmaids are belong to us.
Topic housekeeping day. Yay!
Well, the great news is that they rescued all seven of the Russian submariners. Can you imagine how horrifying that experience would be? It was cool to see the world unite to help them, and it was a Brittish remote sub that ultimately freed the crew. It would be nice to see the world working together more often than when there is a dire need...
Speaking of multinational coalitions... the space shuttle is coming home. Let's hope they find safety too. On the shuttle is a Japanese astronaut named Soichi Noguchi, who is something of a hero in his native Japan. It was pretty cool the other day when children from Japan transmitted a song to them. They sang "Let's go for a walk!" from the awesome Hayao Miyazaki anime movie My Neighbor Totoro. It was chosen, not only because it is a children's song and a popular character in Japan, but because it was on the day of the space walk (to do repairs). I thought that was very cool.
I went to a wedding yesterday. I have been in, been to, and performed a few weddings in my short life and I can honestly say I do not enjoy them. I don't get a thing out of them. Only a few that I have been to seemed like actual celebrations (my friends Matt and Kristina, Rich and Layla, and Adriane and Jasosn for instance). Yesterday's was nice, and the couple seemed to belong together. The bride was the daughter of my wife's friend from work, which means I sat around not knowing anyone and wondering when we were going to go home. Five hours later I was burnt out and bored.
A few things I observed;
1) When it is time for the toast, the best man always decides its Amatuer Comedy Night. And everyone eggs him on. How many times can you say "I just want to say" before you've wore out your welcome? Brutal.
2) Bridesmaids that wear strapless gowns should be smart enough to tan accordingly. Wow. Bikini top tan lines are a nice addition to any strapless ensemble.
3) If you are the bride's family, and you are paying $12 a plate for a dinner, make sure that it isn't ham sandwiches and plain label potato chips. At least the potato salad was good. I think the mother of the bride was taken, and I feel bad for her.
4) For the love of god, someone has to tell the bride's single friends to stop trying to steal the show.
Okay, well, that was a lame entry. See you all later.
Horns up.
