Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, it was though! In the homily, the priest slipped up and basically called me a lesbian.

HAHAHA! I should go back and re-edit that the seating arrangements at your wedding weren't hilarious.

My sister and her fiance are planning their October 5th wedding, and have sent suggestions for hotels to some of us to get ideas of which one more people would be interested in, so they can lock in the group rate. She thinks it's too early to worry about booking it, but her fiance made the good point that October is one of the big hotel-booking months in Vegas (where they live and will have the wedding), so the sooner they decide and book it, the better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Wise man. We booked our block of rooms about 8 months out as well.

This is true. It's also running it basically uncut, which is pretty interesting.

I'm not sure, because I am a Catholic godparent, even though I am neither Catholic nor baptized. I believe I did have to agree to raise the child as a Catholic, but if that was the wish of the parents, I would do so. The godfather is Catholic, though

you can have one non Catholic godparent. My BFF is Catholic and her husband (and her husband's BFF) are Jewish. But even before they got married, she said that any kids would have to be raised Catholic.

I just watched two of them today! It's great -- as far as I can tell, the only editing is blanking out "fuck," "cunt," and anything else at that level, and blurring out naked bodies. Sweet.

AND I just filed my taxes! Yay! Although, I kind of thought I would be getting more money back (due to working fulltime only half of the year, and the tuition tax credit stuff), which makes me worry I'm not withholding enough from my job. Something to look into, I guess.

Yeah, they just cough-button the "F-word". Which, as it's The Wire, makes everybody a little aphasic, but at least it's not like "motherfarker" or something. "Bullshit" got through fine.

Yeah, the blanking out is just fine -- you can fill it in easily enough. I did love the one scene that was basically all "Mother_____er." "_____in A." "Mother____ER." "_____."

Always Anti-fascist!

I know. Uncut, it is a beautiful thing. Because they take those two words and express every possible human emotion with them. And they *know* what the other means. But, yeah, now it's Marcel Marceau. That's in there because Detective McClarney said once that someday detectives would have a language with just those two words in it. Just fyi, if you try to do that in a fancy restaurant with your Wirefiend friend...my friend found she got lots of attention from the waitstaff.
