'Tis the Season
If you'll notice I now have a wedding day countdown clock. Extremely mad props to G for finding it for use on another wedding page. Andrew and I have gone all out this year, I encourage you to view our Christmas album.
I've also included a tour of Andrew's and my apartment... Christmas style. Insane props to Ram for patiently wading through my stupidity and helping me get these images to align properly.

It's what's inside that counts?
I cannot believe what I saw tonight on Average Joe. Melana had two guys to choose between. One was a gorgeous newcomer named Jason. Jason is 26, he lives with his parents, and is STILL in college. He's not going for his PHD or master's or anything, he's still working on his bachelor's degree. Her other choice was Adam. Adam is a self made Wall Street millionaire, co-owner of a bar, loved by his friends and co-workers, and a very funny guy. Adam is not ugly by any means, he's a good lookin guy, he's just not an Adonis. As expected, in true shallow fashion, Melana chose Jason over Adam. Why? It's because Jason is every guy she's ever dated, hot and dull. Now, Melana isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, she and Jason did set up a checkers board wrong, but I'd expect more from her when she's faced with such an obvious choice. If Jason hadn't been as hot as he was, and lived with his parents, there's no way he'd have made it to the final show. Melana says that Adam is every girl's dream, blah blah blah. Jason never showed an eighth of the personality or affection for Melana that Adam showed. Looks aside, they're both the same age, one lives at home with his parents and is still in college, the other is a Wall Street success story, with an article in Fortune magazine about him; and who happens to be a funny, would-be family man. There's no choice there, you don't even have to think about it. This is good though, because if Melana is too stupid to realize how great a catch Adam is, she deserves to be with bland, boring, "pretty" Jason.

Lord of the Rings
The extended edition of The Two Towers is very very cool. There are more interviews/documentaries to watch on the appendix DVDs than were on Fellowship's DVDs, plus the 40 minutes of added footage really fleshes out the movie. I know that sounds silly, but I felt that the theatrical version of Two Towers was smaller in scope than the theatrical Fellowship had been. Obviously Fellowship had to set up the story and what not, so there would be a grandiose feel to it. I didn't feel like the extended edition of Fellowship fleshed the film out so much as I thought it just made the movie more badass than it already was. The bulk of the new footage in Two Towers concerns Faramir and Merry, Pippin, and Treebeard. Faramir's character is now much much more developed than in the theatrical version, and you can never go wrong with more Ent footage. In those respects I felt like the film was "fleshed" out. I eagerly await The Return of the King.
Hear Ye Hear Ye Pt. 2
The date has changed for our wedding. We were going to have it in May because that way Sam, Dion's brother, could be there. As it turns out he'll be shipped out to Iraq in April, so obviously, he won't be able to attend. It'll now happen either at the end of July or in early August, this will allow for more prep time.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Our wedding is going to take place on Saturday, May 15th, 2004. It will be held at the First Presbyterian Church in Tomball, Texas. It is right across the street from Tomball College. The ceremony will probably take place in the late afternoon.
