Our Wedding Album. Yay!

The album should have been ready months ago, but lots of things got in the way of me actually sitting down and noting revisions so our fucktastic photographer Nelwin Uy can make the changes.

So after months of emailing back and forth, our album is ready-ish for printing.

Since posting our wedding video , I received no such email from anybody to stop posting more wedding stuff. So due to popular demand, I now present, our wedding album!

Writing for Nobody

Apparently, less and less people are reading books. And as much as this depresses me, I can’t say I’m surprised. My own reading habits do nothing but support these statistics.

Agatha Christie’s ABC Murders, A Pocket Full of Rye, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and Hickory Dickory Dock were among the books I first listened to. Then I tried out books I wouldn’t normally have read like A Confederacy of Dunces.

Mentos + Diet Coke = COKEGASM!

During one of our weekly lunches with the family, my sister mentioned an email she got which described the death of an unnamed boy by ingesting Coke and Mentos and subsequently expelling the mixture through both orifices. I’m not sure about the validity of this story, and Snopes seem to agree with me; but here’s a couple of videos I found which would give anybody pause before doing what the boy in the email did:
