Weird. I've never NOT brought a gift to a wedding reception, even if it was just cash. I think I'm going with the honeymoon fund contribution ahead of time and bring a card to the reception to hedge my bets.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

brenda, that sounds seriously yummy.
I need a new fandom that has a lot of long, piney fic.
Sophia, if you watch NCIS, and keep in mind I'm not a fan of slash in my NCIS fic, I really recommend Enthusiastic Fish and Emerald for long angsty fic, most of which feature McGee as the primary character. EF has loads of 25-30 chapter stories, and even though Emerald only has a few stories, they are all really good (I especially love "Echoes of Goodbye," which has a terrifically written Fornell).

Hee. I didn't get much sleep last night and have to get up early tomorrow to fly to Portland. So I thought "hmm, is Glee on at 8PM or 9PM? If at 8, I'll stay up and watch it, but at 9, maybe I'll go to bed early...". And I went to my TiVo to see when...and saw Good Wife is on tonight (I'm so disconnected) and went "Aw, dang, now I want to stay up to watch THAT, but it's not on until 10pm!!"

Yeah, I mean, I usually do too, and there's normally plenty of other gifts and cards there--it's totally common these days. I'm just saying TECHNICALLY the "proper" manners thing is to not bring it to the wedding so that they don't have to figure out someone to guard things and bring them somewhere and so on (even though these days, so many people do that they have to anyway) But who knows the bride's parents' address anyway, and if you sent something there, half the people I know would go "Um, why are you sending this here???"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Kelly has already been looking ahead to her wedding next year. E is in the Navy, so doesn't have a place for prezzies. Kelly will be here for at least part of the summer, but eventually settling in California. So, what address should she use for her registry.
My suggestion of my address and a road trip over the summer was met with a raised eyebrow, but I'm not sure what other options she has.

After 4 days of no TV, I am woefully behind on things. I should have watched something tonight, but I cleaned up my iPod and iTunes instead. Maybe tomorrow night I can Castle and Good Wife and Biggest Loser.
