The sun came out while I was asleep, which is a nice change though.

I hate it when the sun goes down while I'm napping. It confuses me.

Happy birthday to Trudy and to P-C!

I think the shuttle takes a different path each time (depending on what its current orbit is?) Once we in Chicago could hear the sonic boom on its way to Florida, but AFAIK that was the only time it flew near Chicago.

eta: I did read before the landing that LA would hear the boom especially loud this time.

National flags made out of national foods: [link]

You know those short old animations they show before a movie to encourage you to visit the refreshment stand? This is the best one of those ever! [link]

It's from the beginning of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

eta: and it's also one of those movie theater PSA telling you to be quiet during the film, etc.

Appetizers assembled. Now I have to go be social. Again.

Yay social!

Both of those links are awesome.

I don't think they have a shot against the Avengers.

Saw "9" with the family. Don't take small children - it will scare them. But very nice otherwise. I'll own it - it's pretty.

Now, we prepare for Brazillian Meat Feast. I predict a coma afterwards.

Take some time to enjoy having all your loved ones celebrating with you.

That's the one thing that manages to make me excited - when I see people happy, for me or with me or both. When people around me are excited and smiling and helpful and wonderful.

Like you guys.

That's what's real in all this strange experience.

make sure that someone makes sure you eat at your wedding.

There's a part when we - him and me - are alone (right after the khuppa ends, as part of the ceremony, actually, we're supposed to be in a room alone for a while). There's going to be food there, and that's the perfect time for actual eating, so we've got it covered.

Also, at my apartment, we've got lots of leftovers from shabbat, so meals for Sunday and Monday are pretty much covered, as well.

Oh, and thanks! That's a really good advice.

I bet the 17th is a holiday or you would use it, huh?

Um, frankly, I didn't really care about the date. We wanted to do it before the holidays (Rosh Hashana starts on the following Friday evening), but that was it, as far as numbers went into play. Sorry.

hope you are excited about the marriage

It's more expectant, hopeful, wishful - I feel that this is way more important than the one-night-to-rule-them-all that focuses so much attention, so obviously it gets more of my focus, emotionally, even if not yet technically. Does that make any sort of sense?

I felt that less about my weddings than I did about childbirth (which is also focused on That Moment, but is really all about The Life After.)
