Updates

So I haven't blogged for a while... as some people have pointed out... However, I do have a few awesome things I want to write about.

First of all, Alex and I have started watching Spaced. Oh my goodness, Spaced is muy brilliante. It is done by the guys who did Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, which should be enough to convince any sane person that it is probably awesome. Not only is the show hi-larious, the whole thing is packed full of geeky pop culture references. Check it out.

Second, we also started watching My So-Called Life (which we found at the library to check out...awesome). I had never seen it before, but I'm kind of in love with it in all its angsty glory. Oh, that Leto and his dreamy eyes...

Disappointingly, I haven't seen any good movies in theaters lately. We did see Tropic Thunder... Now, I know that a lot of people really liked it, but personally, I didn't dig it. Not a fan. I am interested in seeing Burn After Reading which might end my movie slump. I'll let y'all know if I like it...

I'm flying, Jack!

It's been a long week. To recoup, I'm currently watching Titanic (on cable) and eating ice cream (yeah, straight out of the carton). I'm feeling better already. I don't know what it is about Titanic, but I effing love it. Screw you for hating on Titanic! It's funny how watching the movie sends me right back to a certain moment in my life... Man, I remember the first time I saw it; I got a little obsessed with it. But I didn't tell anyone because I thought that wasn't cool. Now, I wear my Titanic love proudly on my sleeve. The special effects! The bad dialogue and acting! Billy Zane! It has everything! Oh, and don't even get me started on Leo's floppy hair. It is a perfect specimen! That scene, when he's drawing her naked and his hair falls perfectly over one eye... I still swoon a little bit.

The ending, however, always makes me so mad! How come they both can't just balance on the stupid door? I'm sure it would have worked if they wouldn't have given up so easily. Anyway, even though I know how it's going to end, I still get a little sad about it. Right now in the movie, they're just about to hit the iceberg. I'll probably turn it off before they all perish. I need the happy parts of Titanic, not the depressing ones right now. I need Tape 1, so to speak (My old VHS copy is split onto two tapes). Ah, Titanic!

Next post'll be more wedding pictures, this time from our reception!

Update: As I keep watching, I'm remembering more Titanic fun facts. For example, the line "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" was on Twin Peaks before it was on Titanic. Also Ioan Gruffudd (otherwise known as the Stretchy Guy in Fantastic Four has a bit part as an officer. Yay!

Wedding Pictures

So here's some of the pictures from our wedding. Our photographer was great... and his info is at the bottom of each picture.

Here's some of our pre-wedding shots. We went to Capitol Theater and some places around town.

Here are some pictures of us outside the temple with our families...

Look at how cool Alex looks!

We had our luncheon-thing at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was awesome. I love this picture!

I'll post the pictures from the reception soon!

Am I really Randal?

So the other day, I was hanging out with Alex and he told me that I am a lot like Randal Graves from Clerks and Clerks 2. I started thinking about it, and he's totally right! I am a little like Randal (but a lot less crude). One crucial similarity: I hate people, but I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic? Well I don't hate people, but I have a hard time dealing with a certain type of person. And when I get overwhelmed, I need to have a goofy outlet for my stress. Instead of go-carts, though, I've been eating junk food (particularly Beto's Carne Asada Fries... delicious).

I am happy to report that this has been helping a LOT! I'm feeling much better about life, the universe, and everything.

Oh, also, has anyone seen Tropic Thunder? Is it worth checking out? I'd like to see it, but I've read extremely mixed reviews.

Head... exploding...

So today was my first day of teachin' school. I have to say, the idea that I am one down, 179 to go makes me want to puke and die... I have a lot of preps for a new teacher (which means I have several classes I have to prepare for)... I dunno.

One thing I will never take for granted again: air conditioning. That's all I have to say about that.

Busy, but not too busy to go to the movies...

So I've been waiting until I get my pictures developed before I post my Comic-Con blog, but since I'm super lazy and crazy busy, I figured I'd better post in the interim.

First of all, The Dark Knight was awesome and incredible. Question though, did you all like it better than Batman Begins? Discuss.

Second, I enjoyed Pineapple Express last week. It wasn't the greatest movie ever created, but it was pretty funny. My two favorite scenes just happen to be two of the parts that they showed at Comic-Con: the three guys fighting in the apartment and the car chase when James Franco puts his foot through the windshield. By the way, James Franco was the shiz in that movie. Funny and sexy? Be still my heart!

Third, I start teaching soon. A real job. I'm about ready to puke and die from nerves at this point, but let's all hope that I survive unscathed.

I'll post Comic-Con pics soon. And maybe some wedding ones too.

Oh, I almost forgot. I wanna rename my blog and ditch the generic title I used for my technology class. Any suggestions?

Honeymooned

So a lot of crazy shiz has happened to me of late: First-- married! WTF! It was totally and completely awesome. The whole day was friggin' great, from the ceremony to the Hard Rock Cafe luncheon to the reception. And I was unbelievably happy that our reception turned out so well. It was mindfudge-style awesome, what with all the ice cream and Batman groom's cake and robot cake topper and Mexican Coke and vintage soda-pop bottle centerpieces and our sweet playlist and all our family and friends and all. I pretty much loved it. Thanks to all y'all who came and shared the luv.

Anywho, so then Alex and I embarked on our honeymoon to San Diego to experience the insanity that was... Comic-Con 2008! Let me start by saying that Comic-Con exceeded all my high expectations. It was so effing awesome that I'm already kind of stoked to go next year. The Exhibit Hall was crazy-cool (and sort of intimidatingly huge and busy) and the panels are super awesome. One thing that sort of sucks: the food. We ate pretzels and Mrs. Fields cookies mainly. But that is a small complaint compared to the greatness of everything else. I wish we had a working digital camera so I could supply sweet pictures, but alas. I just had disposables. I'll blog more extensively about all this later (we're in the airport waiting to fly back to reality). Till then, satiate your Comic-Con curiosity here.
