the wedding

well saturday was the big day. tom's big day, not mine. friday i had my crappy telecom theory class and all we are learning so far is crappy algebra that i've learned three or four times already in my life, and have also forgotten three or four times in my life. aside from a few facts here and there and a couple unique subjects, that's all most of our education is. we learn something, then the second that grades are distributed, we forget what what we have learned. i can't tell you how many times i've learned about log() and ln() crap, but don't ask me to explain that to you today. i don't even know if i just wrote that down right. now i will have to learn it again and actually understand it. and that's the easy crap i have to re-learn.

anyway, i had that class then kim had to pick me up so we could race over to the rehearsal dinner. i had already missed the actual rehearsal because of class, but whatever. we showed up pretty fashionably late to the dinner at los arcos in westside and we got stuck sitting by april's sister and brother-in-law who was so, so weird. he was really nice because he would really try engage in conversations with us, but i could have sure done without him ever opening his mouth. and what's up with his hair?? on a side note, i have to say that i'm eating this egg sandwich that kim made for me and it is heaven. when they aren't scrambled, she will usually make them over easy and they are kind of too runny for me. so i finally told her last time to cook them longer so i don't die of salmonella. she did really good this time. gracias kim.

recent dvds added to the collection: anywhere but here, before sunrise, brokeback mountain.

after dinner some of the guys headed to tom to play some poker. i've never wanted to play, meaning i've never wanted to learn, meaning i never have. but i thought i'd try it and i guess it was pretty fun. tom and his friends matt and jason are pretty hardcore players and do tournements all the time, but they were fairly patient with me. being patient with each other is a different story however. there were times when i thought they were gonna just go at it right there. most of the problems stemmed from one of the guys who i really beleive has some mental issues and should probably be on meds for it. don't get me wrong, he is an awesome guy but he's got a few issues.

so cu lost again. and of course the wedding was great. most thought that the toast went well. or at least they were just being nice. the only bad stuff that happened was college football and too much cheesy dancing. other than all of that it’s really just been business as usual for me. i’m on my third night trying to get through the movie mulholland drive. right now i am completely lost in the film, but it's still kept me interested. tonight should be my last night so we’ll see. time for homework.
