What we got

guy and i are finally starting to get excited about our wedding.

it's 15 days away. OH MY GOD.

it's 10 days away before guy's mom and stepdad arrive.

HUGE!

it means this weekend is our last weekend together as single people (weekend after this one is guy's bachelor party).

NO WAY!

it means we have all the last minute things in our possession. all the things. every little tiny itty bitty thing. even the things that come in beautiful metals. like the rings.

got 'em.

and got words.

got clothes.
got shoes.
got special underwear.
got food.
got liquor.

got a playlist.

got family.
got friends.
got friends that are family.

got vows.

got butterflies.

got hope.

A christian college whacking

there's a new guy at my work, and i've been assigned to write his bio for our website. for this, i've done a little research, including reading nearly his entire blog (fortunately, not as extensive as this one).

he has this in his links.

i can't stop thinking about it.

it's a christian school, of which i've never really looked into so deeply...of which i find deeply offensive.

weapons are allowed in the dorms, but not movies on computer laptops. and no one can watch a movie, even off-campus that is above a "G" rating. but they can have guns. they cannot listen to any music, not even christian rock music. they cannot have posters of supermodels or rock stars on the walls. guns are welcome though. and other weapons.

so i guess the point of this school, and others like it, is to raise ignorant, fearful people who are encouraged to brandish deathly weapons.

sounds like a terrorist training camp to me.

guy would say, "i'm not surprised."

i would say, "i guess i'm easily surprised."

BJU: WHACKED.

LIVE - it's a beautiful day in Botswana

while i truly don't feel like writing about anything, i feel compelled to post this:

yeah. it's totally a webcam set up in some tree in Botswana, recording what happens at a watering hole. all day. all night.

my friend A. pointed this out to me, while also apologizing for being an "animal nerd." no apologies necessary. this is fucking-a cool. it's live. it's africa. it's a watering hole. it's just nuts, this technology. she saw elephants the other day. with babies too!! pictured above, is what is happening in Botswana, RIGHT NOW. fascinating.

there are also other choices, like the cam in Canada, or Australia.
