Here's how I envision my wedding ceremony: The bride and I each roll down the aisle in our own human-sized hamster balls.

I saw a human-sized hamster ball on "Mythbusters", very entertaining.

Megan! Are you at work?

Nope. I'm home sick.

Can I just state for the record that I seriously loathe PowerPoint? I'm preparing slides for an upcoming presentation that I can do off the top of my head without a problem. Trying to "bulletize" it, though, is impossible and frustrating. I want to just do the talk, damn it!

Powerpoint is evil. When I am forced to use presentation software I go with Keynote.

Gloom- try doing the slides when you are not the person doing the presentation. It it REALLY hard.

All I need is a whiteboard. I could do it no problem.

A manky smell is wafting down from the ruined floors above, much the way shit rolls but in a new and improved moldy vapor form.

In terms of weddings, you guys (Buffistas in general) do know there is a whole spectrum of choices in between eloping and nightmare weddings? When I was younger knew lots of people who ended doing doing the JP thing, followed by renting a bar or having a barbeque at the beach, or nibbles at the largest home of the two new sets of inlaws. (I also knew a couple from the Phillines who rented one of the large buildings at UCLA, had 3,000 wedding guests, and a 50 piece orchestra . So not pretending that modest, unpretentious was universal, or even the majority case - just not unknown.)

(Umm of course you do know. Just a way of pointing out the middle course was being omitted from the discussion.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

A friend of mine is doing power point in a new way - the only thing on her slides are things she grabbed from google images. they just illustrate on emphasize her point. sometimes shocking , sometimes funny. She is hoping more people remember what she talks about. and it is more fun to do
