Nauseating


I'm trying to make a wedding map, but www.weddingmapper.com only has one icon for the "ceremony" site: A white hetero couple. Wouldn't that confuse the guests? Google maps, tracing and trying to have more patience it is then.

Guestzilla

I'm beginning to understand why people elope.

Our wedding is just about 2 months away and the guest list has evolved since we began planning; something every wedding article warns NOT to do.

Which is worse? OR Which is harder to say no to?
  • Friends who RSVP with people you've never met (instead of their current significant other)
  • Close friends and family who RSVP with family members, such as mother or cousin (instead of their current significant other)
These were more surprising to us than the various friends and family members who called, emailed, and even worse, contacted our parents to ask to be invited or to add on additional family members. Way to make things stressful with the future in-laws!

g-chat




My lady love tells me I should start a blog. She may just be too busy at work to keep up with my Google chats now that I'm at home these days. I'm a Pisces so I know these things.

I've been reading a ton of blogs these days, frantically searching the net for posts labeled "eco-chic on a budget" "first-dance at a lesbian wedding" "should I say I'm gay during a job interview?" I've been pretty impressed with a few blogs and also bummed out when I see a photo of two women looking like they're about to kiss only to discover it's a bride and her Maid of Honor. What a let-down. Okay, speaking of downers, back to searching for social work positions that pay decently and ensure their directors know who the governor of Massachusetts is.

LAST Cambridge Realty



Dear First Cambridge Realty,

There are some items we must discuss. I'm writing because you never call back. Ever.

Hot water included typically means that you actually need to turn that hot water heater pump on. I know it's there because I saw it downstairs when I was cramming my bike in between the others' on the bike rack. Sidebar, I'm not sure why each bike had a torn-out piece of paper saying "please do not take" attached to it. Please explain.

And finally, it's 2008. You know all that empirical-based research stating that second-hand cigarette smoke IS bad for you? It's true. And it's seeping in through the electrical outlets. And I'm concerned for the life of my Christmas cactus, as well as our own.
