Hurricane I

It's funny because it's true.

Thank You Jesus.

I suppose I shouldn't mock that particular post, as I am also grateful that this round of London bombings were relatively death-free. But then I go back to the rest of the blog, and well... it's just too easy. (Also, after that one infamous gospel concert, the title made me laugh out loud. I think two of you will get that joke.)

I'm interested to see what Marlin says about Roberts. I really don't have time to form my own opinion, so once he forms his, I'll just take the opposite stance. I figure that's about right.

My guess is Edith Clement, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

But as I'm a gambling woman, the pool is now open for suggestions. Standard bet is $1, with the collection divided among the winners. No winners means no one wins.

Congratulations to Matt and Steph for jumping on the Engagement Bandwagon! (Is it written somewhere that among my friends there must always be two engaged couples and an ever increasing supply of married ones?)

I wish for much happiness for you, and for an open bar at your wedding.

The Lovely Emma Fricke is now the Lovely Emma Nelson.

Emma was lovely, the wedding was lovely, and Team Emma worked together to get our friend properly hitched. And I definitely had a blast. Unsurprisengly, all the people that gathered to help Steve and Emma celebrate are energetic and fun people, so the entire wedding was very relaxed, very casual and very, very fun. The best part was when the bride announced to the church from the alter that she was "So Excited!" (She definitely was.) I hope my own wedding will be as much fun for my guests.

To sum up, I have two large bruises, 7 mosquito bites, a half consumed bottle of Early Times and pretty pink toes.

All in all, it was an awesome wedding.

Don't miss the slide show.

I've been told that I'm not supposed to ever actually use the horizontal lines or the colors on the webpage.

"That's so early 90s."

I took a html class for work this morning, and I'm testing some of the stuff that I learned.

I was suprised at how much I already knew just from playing with the template of this blog. I tell you, if they keep giving me free classes, I will keep taking them, and before you know it, I'll all cool with knowledge.

So, I learned how to copyright things (well, to pretend like I have. ACTUALLY copyrighting something is way more complicated), thus: © India 2005

Then came color.

I can also do neat colors like AQUA and SILVER. This makes me happy, though I can't really see how I'd ever really use it.

And then, in a stunning display of usefulness, a horizontal line:

Ah, but that is a boring line. Why stick with boring when you can have crazy horizontal lines?

And of course, pictures. But I can't figure out how to do it with this template ... because they didn't teach me that yet. Stupid blogger.

I've now decided that with all my newfound knowledge, I also want my own website (so I can not maintain that as well). But I don't know how to do that yet either.

Conclusion: I love recess. It's just as much fun in Congress as it was in Elemenrary School.

All the cool kids are doing it.

Seriously, there's really nothing new. To prove it, as my office does every week, here is my 5x5:

Top 5 Priorities for This WeeK:
1. Do laundry so that I have clean underwear / dry cleaning for clean suits.
2. Sleep.
3. Work.
4. Avoid Mr. Picky and his Truffle-Eating Girlfriend.
5. Send in Application for new apartments / visit more new apartments

Top 5 Accomplishments for Last Week:
1. Did not wear the same suit multiple times in one week.
2. Got Paid. Twice.
3. Turned in my Health Care insurance forms.
4. Managed not to piss anyone off while still explaining that our flaming-pinko-commie-illegal-immigrant-hating office wasn't going get any tickets to let constituents visit the White House. Ever.
5. Spent time at the Boy's pool and did not burn myself.
