something blue...
so my little brother is getting married in a matter of hours. it's been a long day of making preparations, rehearsing (mercifully only twice), and trying to appease bored and antsy toddlers. silly toddlers even made me split my blue jeans tonight. that was interesting. there was already a small hole in the place where the top of the back pocket is sewn on (yes, it was on my butt), but i was swinging little gabriel around and as i was picking him up again, my rock-hard glutes (if only) decided to bust through. i'm really not sure how--they're not tight jeans by any means. fortunately i had my man-purse handy and a quick repositioning avoided any embarrassment. this was also at the end of that part of the evening, so i was able to drive home quickly and change and get to the movie theater. yeah, we like to party it up. went to see "the happening." i generally really like shyamalan. before this movie, "the sixth sense" was my least favorite, but this one was just really terrible. it was short, had no point, almost melodramatic, and with precious little character development. zooey deschanel's big blues were almost redeeming. then i remembered that i paid $10 to see it. that makes for the second disappointment in movies i've wanted to see this season, on the heels of "crystal skull." plenty of others to look forward to still, though.
an old friend that i haven't seen in a while is coming over tomorrow to watch a movie. he's also in the bridal party. of all my friends he's possibly the most like me, at least in personality, and i rarely see him. other than that time, though, i want the rest of the day to pass quickly in a blur. the quicker we get this thing over with the better. i am happy for my brother, but i don't think this marriage is going to be easy for them. they're way too young. but i'm wasted on worrying about it.
got an email tonight that amazon has finally shipped my mario kart wii with wii wheel. i've been waiting on this thing for almost two months. i'm a very happy camper now. can't wait. yes, i'm a nerd.
i should probably get some rest. tomorrow is going to be interesting and probably long. lots of bbq leftover from the rehearsal dinner, though. that's definitely a plus. hope you're all having a good night and a good weekend. please send your thoughts and prayers with the bride and groom, as well as with my car as i drive back to columbia on sunday. i barely made it back to kansas city last night. and david, i'm sorry if i freaked you out there. went a little overboard, perhaps.
later.
