So I am about to go with Stephanie tomorrow to put down all the money we need to for the wedding. We finally have a date. September 25, 2011. This is good and bad. Good because we are finally getting married, and if the world really does end in 2012, we could at least have some time together. Ha, bad joke. Anyway bad because it gives us one year to plan for it, while trying to get moved into the house, go to like 3 other weddings, and make sure we don’t go broke. We got this.

Also Stephanie and I have been working on a new site to help people keep up to date with all of the wedding. We both thought it might be easier for a lot of people this way. Plus it will give everyone an open forum to discuss the wedding and whatnot. Really allow people to connect with one another. Check it out.

Work has been a little crazy but it happens. I guess the same is true for Chruu, he hasn’t written in a while, but when I talked to him the other day he had a lot of work to get done and he did not seem to happy about it. I feel kind of bad for him, but my programming is limited to HTML/PHP/JAVA/FLASH/C. O well, he will make it through.

On a side note I am looking to update the theme on this site soon. I like the one I have but I feel like it could be better. Honestly I might try to fix this one first. I want to make it span a little more across the screen really. I feel like there is not to much room and it is kind of a waste of space at times. Plus it would be easier for me to add videos, and pictures, and other things that i have to code to be smaller because the site is to small.

To everyone ever who told me get used to life after college, and live it up in college because it is going to be the best time in your life, they were right. College was one of the best time, and growing up is both odd and hard. Looking for a house drove me crazy, the wedding is going to drive me more crazy, and the whole time I have to continue to work and deal with crazy people on the phone.

In other news I heard the iPhone 4 is going to possibly be recalled. While I always have a bad taste in my mouth for apple, the iPhone really did have its issues. I find it funny if you held it ‘wrong’ it would not work. I know this issue with the iPhone was beaten like a dead horse so I wont go to far into it. Go Droid!

So last night, I spent 3 hours at MIT’s Behavioral Research Lab, watching football. They had us guess if the next play was going to be RUN or PASS. Easy Enough. In the end, I came out with $59 and a nice chat with an extremely gorgeous girl. Too bad she’s way ahead of me intellectually. Double majoring in Math and Neuroscience. AND a minor in Energy. On top of that, she didn’t even want to go to school – she wanted to be an auto mechanic. Uhh…marry me now? Oh, and yeah she was Asian too, Chinese I believe. And also a sophomore…I wish i asked for her number or asked her out to dinner or something. What a bummer…

In other news, Character’s next to the Kendall/MIT stop is a decent place to eat. The burgers were DELICIOUS. I got some kind of pizza burger (red sauce, sauteed vegetables, mozzarella), and it was great. Lucas got the usual bacon/egg/cheeseburger. The thing looked intense. What I liked best though, was the bun they used. It wasn’t a normal hamburger bun, but instead it almost looked like a sweet bun. Tasted great. Beers were OK, a bit overpriced, the usual selection.

Probably going to head to Wonder Taste tonight for dinner. Haven’t had Chinese food in a long time, I miss it…

What I don’t understand is why people don’t negotiate or haggle more when buying items. I mean come on, it saves you money. Who doesn’t like to save money? Examples:

• My dad just bought a brand new car for $4k. Sticker price: $17k. That’s right, a savings of over 75%.
• I went to go buy some dvds the other day, and I managed to get them for $10 instead of $15.

It seems like people don’t do this anymore. Is there some negative stigma to wanting to save money? I suppose it makes you look cheap, but who cares? You’re protecting your own wallet by saving more money. Plus, you’re the one providing business by buying items in the first place! Yeah, they could sell it at full price for $1000, but if you refuse to pay that full amount, they make no money out of it. Wouldn’t you rather have $700 instead of $0? Think about it.

In other news, Chuck likes Common so much he’d let Common abuse him all day.

Oh, and be sure to check out Soapier for some cool looking soaps. Such as a bacon scented soap. Hey, whatever floats your boat. But they do have other flavors too. The bars look delicious. I kind of want to eat them. Anyways, use the promo code REDDIT to get a discount! Support their business!
