Relative's Wedding Achievement unlocked.
Grotto location achievement unlocked.

It was supposed to be the paperwork (way early on the ceremony), but I gave an improvised five minute ceremony with Ash and the bride's sister as witnesses. A hubbub of activity at Elm Wood..

Marian/Douchen girls doing some senior day as 'a space odyssey' or 'final odyssey'.. softball games.. guys on mopeds.. and "fire dancer" hippies training.

Afterwards - a few tacos at Voodoo.

What a strange day

Fucking hell! The registration was renewed for another two years. The site's hosting is dead, but no.. let's fucking review the god damn domain name. F'-you you damned White Whale! F'-you right in the a'!!!!!

Expiration Date: 2017-03-26

My white whale surfaced today. Time to obsessively check the expiration of a certain site in hopes I can snag it before the rest of the scurvy world does.

I am feeling good at the odds!

The stone temple pilot megaphone dropped from 850 to 500. Grrrrrrr. Way better than the 2k a few years back.

the Alice in chains guitar is still 1500. How much does my credit card like being used?!

I broke down to call for the offspring guitar but couldn't make it in. Where.

Anna and Tad were bound to leave sooner than later. They telegraphed this a month or two in advance, right? It still blows hard that they are gone. As their time was winding down last weekend was a mixed bag of labor and love. Tad and I did our things.. talked with Anna as our things.. moved shit.. sweated.. hugged and bailed before stupid eye waters started falling.

Let's see.. Friday night was Interstellar with Tad.. iMax that sucker up.. did the usual trade off of someone buying a ticket and the other candy.. I made the usual crack about him not being able to use the machine.. he made the usual crack about the idiots in line and not using the automated booths..

Blue icys and twizzlers around with the usual yammering before the show... both trying to hold off making some geek ass comment like "dooooood I can't wait until we see that last Hobbit movie!".. because.. well.. we won't. We won't see Rise of ultron or the others.

Interstellar was a good movie.. worth the review out in the cold afterwards that turned to the normal chatter about comics.

Saturday was an impromptu "let's go get comics in the snow".. coolio. I thought we were heading to Legends, but instead rolled to the Dragon's Lair 90th. comic there, and a slow drive home to deposit and read.

Sunday I swung over to help move heavy crap, but spent a lot of time just in awkward silence as folks were trying to tap dance around everyone leaving. We traded the usual range of funny Anna stories (pujoles, the "silly monkey", and the "what does an indian do")..

A lot of Anna's lady friends were in and out, but mostly it was Chris, Tad, and I moving stuff. I think I was the first to flee before I got all sorts of weepy.

Damn them for leaving. Hopefully they find awesome adventures out on the east coast!

I doubt I will see another show that amazing, or that action filled. Cooper theatrics, great voice, killer stage fun, and all the old stops. Cru with the fireworks, the fire, the jets of cold, the babes, and the killer riffs. Even a Tommy Lee up on a rollercoaster-esque track doing front 360 barrel rolls while drumming and being transported to the middle of the auditorium.

Crazy.

It's rough to do the cutting and the sanding and the staining and the swearing in an apartment.

I swear I am getting as wound up like a kid on christmas for this whole new Sprout interface. Blended reality, intuitive displays.. and futuristic implementation.

Serially.. a 3d scanner, projector, 20 point touch pad.. the ability to use the pad as a second screen/interface for games.. as a keyboard.. scan things.. pull things from your screen to your pad.. aaaaaahhhghghh! Amazing!

This can totally be extrapolated for a Surface Pro 3. One of those blade/covers can deal with the touch. The touch screen is already there. Then a mini Kinect and pico projector snap to the top. Holy shit... how amazing would that be?!

I am starting to feel as excited as I was when I heard about the MS Courier. Mmmmm.... let's hope HP doesn't ruin this some way.

I've been too peevish and snippy with folks recently. I don't know if that's just reaction to a bunch of stressors, or what, but I gotta get my head out of my ass.

FFS - it happened again. It is starting to harken back to weird panic I feel in nightmares. I wasn't sure if I was going to hurl or something.. my occasional dejavu is never this violent in reaction.

This better not be some super duper bad omen shit..
