Scary

My hair was SO LONG!

Halloween 2002:


Mike had food poisoning, so we dressed up as weary professionals at the end of a long, crappy weak and fell asleep watching Ocean's 13. Oh wait...

I've been dreaming of this since junior high when I discovered Sailor Moon!!!!!!

WTF, Mate?

Ever since that epic, gut-busting hand-drawn cartoon of the End of the World (warning! cussing!), "WTF, Mate" has been a regular part of my vocabulary. Let's face it, when it's in initials you just don't feel as bad using it. Trust me, there are so many more incredibly worse things I could say based on the automotive industry standards of speech. So, I've gotten to know a couple of Jen's parts and service managers pretty well. The problem is, with as much as she talks about our friendship, they know me better.

I went to one of her dealerships today, and the Service Manager, Mario, presented me with a present. He'd had a stamp made just for me.

I subsequently went around the entire office stamping non-important papers. It made my freakin' WEEK!

We took hundreds of photos this afternoon for our engagement photos. I don't think you know how much it's killing me that I can't browse them RIGHT NOW! Such is the life when you're not the photographer. Totally stinks!!!!

But the sun on the way home was very pretty...each time I think it has to be the most beautiful sunset ever over the mountains. Again and again I'm proven wrong.

Stadium Junk Food: a study

"Why?" Mike said, "Why must I always be chewing?!"
Rapids' last game against the Real (that's royal en espanol) Salt Lake. Lost it in the 90 second injury time adjustment. Dorks.

How Soon is Now by Snake River Conspiracy

It's beginning to look a lot like...

The birth of baby Jesus in a pumpkin patch next to a cemetary. There's something wrong when Santa has to fight with the witch on aisle 10 in WalMart for shelf space. My question: why are they selling Christmas stuff BEFORE HALLOWEEN?!

So, wedding planning is not going...as planned. Mike & I went to sample the food at Mercury Cafe where we'd planned on having our reception. Between the REAL (I can't make this up) wizard in the corner, the incredibly offensive painting of the current Oval Office Big Guns dining on innocent people at their conference table, posters asking for the death of Bush & Saddam's cohorts in the White House, and the numerous posters for Witch Events, the good (not to mention inexpensive) food and venue just couldn't outweight the fact that our parents and grandparents would have to walk past these on their way up to the reception.

Yeah.

I don't know how I'm so calm right now. But I am. And I'm marrying the most wonderful man in the world. One place or another!

How am I supposed to pick a theme when I love color so much?! Any thoughts?

It's been a boring week...relatively speaking.

Cause there's always a chance they could've had a pig sewn on to their face.

Ahhhh. Good times.

Existential

When I grow up, I'm going to be a zombie hunter

There are several things with which I have fascination that even I find relatively disturbing and highly unexplainable. Life after a huge zombie viral outbreak (or any viral outbreak, for that matter in which only a few humans survive - think Terminator or Steven King's The Stand) is just one of those. So, needless to say, The Zombie Hunters is a comic near and dear to my undead heart. The artist does a wonderful job of evoking emotion with facial expression. I can't describe how, but it's admirable.

And it has a love story. Need I say more.

If life had background music playing your song

Would I rather sit and watch two worthless windbags talk about both changing nothing at all by doing and being the exact same thing we don't need while trying to show each other to be exactly what they both are (worthless)? Or sit and watch one of my top 5 bands blow the speakers with their windpipes and my accompanying air guitar?

"Hello, Anberlin!"

We were all happy cause the transvestite on Colfax gave us free parking tags cause he/she thought we were such a cute engaged couple! And they loved my MKX! It is Lincoln after all...

Mike's actually working on his guest list. It's amazing what I have goin' on in that Crackberry. But wait...I didn't even have to cajole him into it! So good...

This was about the time I had major guilt about bringing Mike to this concert when he doesn't even know Anberlin (seriously, I'm shmoopified). The band before them, I kid you not, titled "Scary Kids Scaring Kids" was so aptly named. I think my ears were bleeding; I've never experienced such horrendous sound.

My face looked like this for a good 30 minutes. Their keyboardist was literally flailing all over the stage. I think that was actually his role, you couldn't even hear his instrument, just see him flopping around all high maintenance-like. I've never seen anything like it.

Just shoot us.

I wanted to take more. But they came on, and I started rockin' out until the concert was over! Le sigh...LOVE THEM.
