I bought my wedding dress today!! It's super gorgeous and BONUS on sale for $350! XD
After being engaged for oh, like 5 years? I lost count... it's finally time to get this done! Tentative date in mid-March. (Needing at least 6 months to put everything together, that gets into the holidays... and then comes unpredictable Washington winter. And then conventions at the start and end of March that we've already paid for, that leaves mid-March/April open.) So next... venue!

Keep the "HIM" beard for the wedding...
Got nearly 8 hours of sleep last night.
Also for some reason my between-dream state believed it was Sunday night and that I'd have to go to work this morning. Yesterday certainly felt like a Sunday. I am elated that today is Sunday, not Monday.

I think this is a stretch to call even a minor victory, but I'm happy my John Carter joke/fan site has 40 followers now.
Girlfriend's dad (auto mechanic) figured out what was wrong with my bike: either the petcock or, maybe, the vapor canister are busted/clogged. Either of them is $10-$15, so it's a cheap replacement, if I can't just fix'em myself. For now I'm just bypassing them, and the bike's gone from a top speed of 20mph to its usual 60 
I am pleased.

Back when I was much younger and riding my bike regularly, I had a brief notion of riding in the Race Across America. Common sense dashed that dream rather quickly. So Saturday evening, I'm out on US 50 just east of Grafton, WV headed back west towards home, and what do I see approaching but no fewer than five RAAM riders going by one by one. The race winner had already reached Annapolis, but these guys wouldn't let that stop them from finishing.
Though I returned from my mom's house with a fever and stomach bug, I also returned with the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Gamecube with a shit-ton of games. My stepdad said no one was using any of it and he was going to throw them out if I didn't take them. Some of it's going on eBay.

I've been playing through Paper Mario Thousand Year Door* if you haven't played it. I recommend it.
*for the 8th time.

That's one of the few titles from IGN's "top 25 Gamecube games" list that I don't already have, so I may check it out. I loved Super Mario RPG.
You're gonna go with the image of a computer being hacked... for your checks?
Gotcha.
Gotcha.

check please!
Last week was the first time that I can remember having some one whip out a check book in the express line at the grocery store... of course she waited till everything was rung up and placed in her basket before pulling the check out... dropped her pen and just generally fucked around getting the check filled out...
It is good to know that incompetence still pisses me off.

I've thought about this before. Why does everyone suddenly get in a hurry in the checkout line? You just walked through a grocery store in a daze at a snail's pace, thinking about nothing for like 3 hours except ponies and farts, but the moment you're at that register, it's like CHECK ME OUT NOW, I'VE GOT A BOMB TO DISARM WITH THIS JAR OF CREAMED BORSCHT YOU ASSHOLES!
