Bad sleepy boy! BAD! So, according to our hapless roommates in Jacksonville last weekend, I am in dire need of one of these. It seems a bit extreme, but I'm sure willing to do it, if it means not feeling like a shithead for something I basically have no control over. That's how much I want to keep the privilege of sleeping in the same room as my friends.

You know, that sounded a lot less creepy in my head.  ¶ 2:18 PM 2 comments

  Technical Difficulties. Okay, it's too late again, and comments work finally. Blame Blogger. I really wish they'd go ahead and call me when they're going to mess with their comment system.

Watched 'Sideways' tonight. After all the up and down reviews I heard, I was pleasantly suprised. Sure, I don't really get why it seems to have gotten every award ever made, but Paul Giamatti is really one of the best actors around. He's just like a sympathy generation machine. I don't know how anybody could not feel for him in this role.

Oof, I'm not going to edit it, but reading that last sentence it's obvious I need to step away from the computer.....  ¶ 11:18 PM 0 comments

  Tips. So, I hate to generalize about things, especially when I give advice. And since this episode of 'Morgan writes about things for no especially good reason' is one filled, nay riddled, with advice, I'm going to try to be very specific.

Do's and don'ts when going to Paul's wedding in Jacksonville Florida

Do
Get a nice flight that goes straight to Jacksonville with no delays.

Don't
Get stuck in the back of the plane among five sets of kids (sorry Kat!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do
Get a hotel with a pool, so you can get really drunk and hang out at the pool and get in the pool and swim in the pool and when you're not at the pool you're talking about the pool, and in conclusion, pool.

Don't
Look too closely at the hotel, because it's like a filth smeared motel six with some artfully placed curtains to hide the filth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't
Wonder too much why all the people on the beach you drove to are in their suits and running around and lying in the sun when you're all clutching towels around you to keep your core temperature from dropping below room temperature.

Do
Eat a place on the way called Famous Amos that has these fried tomatoes that taste like, seriously gold.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do
Get a nice bartender at the hotel who sends you around the corner to a creepy little local bar called, funnily enough, locals, where you get cheap beer and drink until you're laughing at every damn thing Sheri, Kat, Mary, Laura, and Ashley say that you think you're going to burst.

Don't
Start trying to talk politics whith him after he's shown up and bought you creepy cough syrup flavored shots and you're getting progressively more scared of oily tan. You'll just regret it later.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't
Assume that you know what the hell the directions mean when you look at them and get so lost that you have to ask directions from three different people that get progressively scarier until you're sure you're going to end up in a swamp somewhere, then run into the hall just as the ceremony is over and feel like just about the hugest ass in the world.

Do
Just be happy to see two people you love be incredibly happy and proud as their huge families swirl around them. And try to believe them when they say they're just glad you're there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't
Back the rental car into some kind of waist high construction marker. Just don't, man. Really, don't.

Do
Rub the rubber off the construction thing and polish it up and have Kat stand in front of the dent while you're checking it in. That works, can you believe it?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Do
Have a great time celebrating the love of two great people. And have a blast with your friends in Jacksonville.

Don't
Think you're going to be putting Jacksonville on your list of must-vacation cities any time soon.
