Ugly But It Works

Here is a link to the pictures from the wedding. Nothing fancy since I am frantically trying to line up a job and an apartment and trying to help get things in order and organized for a reception.

Back in Town

It's four in the morning and Jenn and I just got back a few hours ago. She is crashed in the bed and I can't stop my brain. The trip was amazing despite the woeful inadequacies of Italian public transportation; everything from mislabeled trains, to ones that don't show up at all, bus drivers that wave at you as they pass by the bus stop doing 90, and lost luggage. The Italian people more than made up for it though and the food and wine was incredible. One of our Italian hosts joked that maybe Musollini wasn't so bad, at least the trains ran on time.

Slovenia was. . . well if you are going to be a tourist and ruin it then it sucked, don't ever go there. If however, you are really curious about it, it ruled! It was so much like Switzerland (minus the xenophobes) that I had to keep reminding myself where I was. The food was fantastic, more meats and varieties thereof then I have ever had the pleasure of sampling. . . out side of my brother Kevin's visits down from Alaska with coolers full of fresh game.

The wedding was fantastic too. We had so much fun with the family that it is going to be hard to top it again.

I was going to try to get some pictures up tonight but realized I am going to have to save that until they find our luggage.

So, from all of us here at sleepless central, Goodnight!

Getting It Done

How'd the defense go? Well, from what I understand now it was just a matter of pro forma. My advisor hardly showed up. She asked only one question and it was so completely out of context that I had a hard time figuring out what she was asking. The other two committee members offered some pretty cool responses. By the end of July it will be official; I will have a diploma in hand proving I haven't been pretending and just racking up random student loans. Anyway, I passed and got all of the paperwork turned in, although I won't be able to turn my thesis in until after I get back from gettin' hitched.

Speaking of getting hitched, all the good folks took me out for a bachelor's night. Rachel brought along a "boob" squirt gun that I think is really a penis that the manufacturers modified. The other boobs involved were all mine and Jesse's. Friends, bowling (me with two games at 112) and beer. What more could a guy ask for?
