banana pancakes

Listening to: Anthony Hamilton
Currently squatting: at my desk
Thinking about: the chinese buffet down the street - think I might round up some coworkers and go on a 'I'm going to regret this later' food run
Dreaming about: the good new days - 'cause the good ole days weren't especially that good.

Wedding update: went to the last catering tasting on Sunday, looks like we have a winner. This means that we've already got the photographer, the dj, the place, the cake, the florist...oh, and I put a deposit down for our honeymoon trip last night. I will devote a section to that next, but I digress. We've also got the tuxedos, her dress, my groomsmen chosen, a start on the guest list - and with only 8 months remaining. Damn, she's good. Good thing I'm marrying her.

Honeymooooooon destination: Kauai, Hawaii. We are going to fly out the night after the wedding to Cali, stay there overnight then get on a plane early so we can get to Kauai around noon on Monday. We will stay out there until Sunday night, then fly back and get up here around Monday afternoon. Tuesday will be recovery day, Wednesday will be back to work.

Why Kauai? I'm glad you asked! Remote, tropical, relaxing... pretty much what I want to escape to all the time. If you've seen any of the Jurassic Park movies, 6 Days/7 Nights, Hook, or a little movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark (or a bunch more), you've seen Kauai. Picture 'Lost', but without the plane crash (hopefully) or the crazy Others. I knew it was perfect when the travel agent guy told me my rental car would be a jeep wrangler softtop, so I could drive off-road if I wanted to explore the more secluded areas.

On to more mundane things - went to a Caps game on Saturday. This makes my first pro basketball game and my first pro hockey game in the same month - Feb is going to suck. It was good times - the Caps kicked the crap out of the 'Canes, 7-3. Very exciting. And, i saw my friend Xtine during the 2nd period break, and Mooie after the game. It was surprising. Apparently hockey games are a good place to run into old acquaintances.

Still hooked on halo2/xbl. I hadn't played for at least a week, but I stepped right back in on Sunday. Rock and I have a natural rhythm when it comes to killing people - whether it be me running people over while he tries to shoot them, him hanging on while I drive a tank over and through anyone in my way, or even him giving me the sword so I can brutally murder several people in a row. Damn, now I want to go home and play halo2 now.

Well, thats all for now. Let's see when I next come back....
