jesus f. christ. it's been a while, hasn't it? i should run down all the wacky things that happened in the intervening months, i guess. i'll just write about them as they hit me…

matt got married. i had a good time at his wedding. i never have a problem when there's an open bar, of course. the meat skewers were delicious. i'm glad to see that matt has finally tracked down and caught him some happiness.

my cousin steve is getting married, this weekend. they're having the wedding at the planetarium, so that should be neat.

L&N broke up. relationships were strained during a period of inactivity, so we called it quits. brooksie and i have started work on a new band. no name, as of yet, but i'll keep everyone posted.

i finally broke down and got a cellphone. i fought the good fight for as long as i could before succumbing to the dark side. i went whole hog and got a cameraphone. i started a little gallery of all the photos i've taken with the phone. i was doing it daily, but i've kinda slacked off over the past couple of weeks. mainly because it really isn't good for night shooting and that seems to be the only time i'm ever out and about. either way, check it out.

i also started a flickr account. i figured it'd be something different to mess around with. you can check out the photos i've posted there and comment on them and whatnot.

i'm a fan of konfabulator. i'm a sucker for little gadgets and whatnot, i guess.

okay, then. that was the capsule version of the past couple of months. i'll try to be more regular with this business, lest this site wither up and die.

the day is almost upon us. tomorrow +3 hours from now, i will be married and beginning the next phase of my life. it'll be weird to share a house with someone again, but i'm looking forward to having Sara there all the time.

amazingly enough, i haven't really been nervous or apprehensive about the whole thing until about… oh, 10 minutes ago. i think my nervousness mainly stems from the confluence of events and things that have to happen in the next 24 hours to pull this thing off. plus, we're taking a weeks vacation, and i always feel like i'm leaving something undone in the days/hours leading up to a departure. and there are so many things to leave undone. of course, none of them cannot be picked up when we return, but it's the reality of leaving things in a half-done state that is a bit nerve-wracking.

while we're gone, my laptop will be in the shop, the electrician will be roaming about the house bug-bombing the crawlspace and grounding all our outlets. seems like there should be more going on than that… amazing how the mind blows things out of proportion at the slightest provocation.

nevertheless, i'm trying to maintain my focus on Sara and enjoying the proceedings. tomorrow is all about me & her, so i want to make sure we're not losing perspective with all the other stuff going on.

and despite that selfish focus, i'm sincerely looking forward to being able to get all my friends and family, and new extended family under one roof, and to be able to see and talk to as many of them as possible, especially those i don't get to see very often (which is pretty much everybody, considering our social calendar of late).

so, i'm excited, i'm nervous, i'm anxious, and i'm focused (or trying to be) on the things about this next 30 hours that are the most meaningful. all-in-all i suppose i'm pretty much the typical husband-to-be.

wish us luck!
