Updates for the week of 2010-08-29

  • Fear of the majority, BY the majority (http://j.mp/9y5D5W) – Some good thinking by Dave, here. #
  • Too drizzly for beach; covered patio has turned into Uninformed Republican Echo Chamber; too loud to write. Hello internet/haven, I'm back. #
  • Sand castles are criminally overlooked as a valuable learning tool. Kaylee's first lesson: Water Always Wins. #
  • I Don't Want Directions (http://j.mp/cehG3V) – Yes. This. #
  • RT @apelad: Mtn Dew hasn't tasted the same since they took the oun ai out. #
  • Well. That was a pleasant dream. Since I'm awake now, I think I'll just stay up — perhaps for the next several days. Yes. Very pleasant. #
  • Kaylee, on our evening walk, holding hands: "I'm going to be wherever you are, Daddy. Forever." #toolucky #
  • Listened through about 50 #podgecast and #ktng episodes; am caught up on both that show and my yearly recommended homoerotic snark intake. #
  • Kaylee: "I'm going to write your name in Curses, Daddy." (She means cursive, but I find her version much more… compelling. Heh.) #
  • Dude, I thought those robot things were MADE UP. — RT @DenverPostBrk: Car crashes into Transformer in Broomfield http://dpo.st/bJyuDs #
  • Scott Pilgrim vs. The Last Airbender (http://j.mp/aEs5sx) – Excellent. #
  • Adrift: They’ve been waiting for me for a month, give or take. It’s a shock, followed by rage; I’ll never find Kae… http://bit.ly/9Sdtx9 #
  • Sand Castling http://flic.kr/p/8vPKiR #
  • Man, my neighbors are acting a lot like people right now. I don't particularly like people. #
  • 8/27/2010 (http://j.mp/cfe9sj) – Best part about this is her smile. #
  • Great online happy hour conversation with @bg_meg, @bafadam, and a dozen other awesome folks. Skype just justified its existence to me. #
  • I'm at another wedding, Twitter. VERY much doubt it will be as awesome as the last one. #nevertellmetheodds #
  • OMG THE FAMILIES (almost) SAT ON THE WRONG SIDES OF THE AISLE. Crisis averted, and may I be the first to say "whew". #boringweddinglivetweet #
  • The processional is "Joy of Man's Desiring". #dirty #getdownwiththybadself #
  • Holy crap that's a lot of bridesmaids. Literally; a lot, such as for parking. #
  • Can't actually see the ceremony around the camera crew. Yeah. Crew. #yikes #
  • The next portion of the EVENT is labled "Giving of Bride". #grammar #cavemanwedding #
  • Good things: bride and groom both look lovely; the priest is VERY good at this wedding stuff, and has a positively charming accent. #
  • Priest: "Some people anjoy a good SNAFU during a wedding… such as *turns* when we find out the best man forgot the rings." #ilikethisguy #
  • Fir the record, the best man didn't forget the rings, and WE SERIOUSLY CAN'T SEE A FRAKKING THING AROUND THE CAMERA GUYS. #
  • Ceremony is over. I think. The camera crew is clapping. We all take our cues from them. #
  • Servers greet us with cold beers before we hit the receiving line. The camera guy needs to talk to the beer guy. #
  • The string quartet's making a game attempt at a Beatles cover. #
  • The quartet's set off on the the musical trail of tears that is "Hey Jude", so there's the next 20 minutes of our life spoken for. #
  • I really don't think they considered all their lyrical option when they selected "Yesterday" as an appropriate wedding reception number. #
  • Oh. My. God! Twitter: I have encountered appetizer genius — shrimp breaded in coconut shavings. SWEET MONKEY LORD that's good. #
  • Back to the camera crew, which is now YELLING at people to move to more 'natural' positions for candid shots. #
  • I am informed, Twitter, that I will have the opportunity to live tweet YET ANOTHER wedding in October. #giddy #cannotcontainmyGLEE #
  • Annnd now the quartet has leapt, headlong and heedless, into "Danny Boy". #bridesdadisirish #itstheonlyeiresongweknow #
  • We are sitting with a senior couple that wouldn't much mind BEING when I grow up. Kissing. Nuzzling. Playing pranks on each other. Adorable. #
  • Wedding has a Prince of Persia SavePoint http://flic.kr/p/8wcNyf #
  • Very touching, tearful toast from the bride's proud father. #slainte #039; #
  • INCREDIBLY British toast from the groom's father. If the humor were any more dry, we'd have to seal the toast with tap water. #
  • Reception band unleashes "The Fields of Athenry ". Let the free bird fly, indeed. #
  • Watching foine, foine Irish ladies on the dance floor give me excellent reasons to look forward to old age with me love @DaphneUn. #
  • Reception band has broken out the ABBA. #wheresMJ #
  • Guys, @DaphneUn can cut a rug. If you ever wanted to challenge her to a dance-off; don't. Unless you need to share the floor with awesome. #
  • Hey Twitter; was anyone else aware of @DaphneUn's previous life as a cabana-girl? I, for one, was not. #intrigued #highschoolwasboring #
