Happy Halloween!

Posted by Glen in on 30 Oct. 2003, 10:05 pm

Still no honeymoon/wedding update. Instead, we spent the evening carving these awesome jack-o-lanterns. I think they’re even better than last year’s flying cat-ghosts.

  1. Comment from Angela on 31 Oct. 2003, 8:45 am :

    Wow. I’m impressed! Did you use templates or was it free-hand?

    Happy Halloween!

  2. Comment from Em on 31 Oct. 2003, 10:08 am :

    Glen’s been watching QVC at work again….I saw them selling those templates on the show this week. Very fancy! My house is embarrassingly pumpkinless.

  3. Comment from Rachel on 31 Oct. 2003, 10:36 am :

    They were patterns, but not QVC. Mine (the cat) was found on the internet, and Glen’s spider was clip-art that he modified into a pumpkin pattern. This was my first ever non-triangled-eyed and nosed jack-o-lantern.

Block SPAM emails qlxrq

Posted by Glen in on 29 Oct. 2003, 9:02 pm

No, the machines have not yet figured out how to post to my blog. This subject line was featured on a recent SPAM received in my inbox, skipped by my SPAM filter and likely sent by a fat guy in his basement with a profound sense of irony. In another disturbing development, the machines have apparently learned to leave SPAMtastic comments on my blog.

Loyal readers will have to survive one more day without a complete honeymoon post. In the meantime, here are some honeymoon photos to appease the honeymoon-starved masses until my honeymoon bullet points become honeymoon paragraphs.

  1. Comment from Glen on 29 Oct. 2003, 10:13 pm :

    I forgot to mention that the wedding photo proofs are now available online, and they’re excellent. Email Rachel or me for the link. It requires a password, which I don’t want to post — the spammers might somehow use it to their advantage.

  2. Comment from Millie on 29 Oct. 2003, 11:25 pm :

    Who’s the crazy person with the moniker so close to mine leaving comments on your honeymoon pics?

    May I have the link? You have my email.

  3. Comment from Maggie on 29 Oct. 2003, 11:34 pm :

    oh, link please?

  4. Comment from Rachel on 30 Oct. 2003, 6:52 am :

    She’s not crazy! She’s my mother. She likes flowers and trees :)

    mil = mother in law

  5. Comment from Katie on 30 Oct. 2003, 9:05 am :

    Desperately seeking wedding photos. Email me. :)

  6. Comment from Millie on 30 Oct. 2003, 9:20 am :

    No insult meant by the term crazy (which = funny). I thought the comments were amusing as I would write very similar comments myself if I were inclined to leave them.

  7. Comment from Em on 30 Oct. 2003, 1:08 pm :

    Hook me up with pics, yo.

  8. Comment from Em on 30 Oct. 2003, 2:24 pm :

    Thank you SPAM. That reminds me of what my email said this morning: “Why drive a Pinto when you can have a Cadillac?” and the immortal “Pull a MONSTER out of your pants.”

    May I have the link and PW? Danke.

I am going to post an update about the first two weeks of married life, but not tonight. Our apartment is a disaster area, strewn with wedding presents, bills and cat hair, and I am going to seriously think about asking Rachel to consider doing something about it. That should make for a more interesting update on married life tomorrow. Also, I am having trouble typing after attempting to read several paragraphs backward (see link on tagboard).

In the meantime, I shall award 25 former-Aerogeek points to anyone who can help me decipher the following mysterious fortune received at “Ciao Mein”, a Chinese-Italian restaurant in Honolulu:
“Learn to perform a special procedure personally.”

  1. Comment from DAD on 29 Oct. 2003, 3:49 am :

    No comment on the fortune

  2. Comment from Kanishka on 29 Oct. 2003, 7:15 am :

    Clearly they are suggesting you learn to perform a solo root canal.

  3. Comment from Nick on 29 Oct. 2003, 7:55 am :

    Obviously the guy above me believes the special procedure you must perform is buying weight-loss pills over the interweb.

  4. Comment from Angela on 29 Oct. 2003, 3:38 pm :

    Hmm…it looks like the Machines have found you. Is it possible to spam a website?

  5. Comment from Kanishka on 29 Oct. 2003, 5:06 pm :

    We are being conquered by the machines.

Part deux

Posted by Glen in on 21 Oct. 2003, 11:24 pm

The honeymoon has been extended until Saturday. Frankly, Waikiki was more alluring than Savoy–even when considering the Savoy Cinema 10. For Rachel, this is a vacation from our vacation. Oahu may not have nearly as many wild chickens–an endless source of entertainment for both of us–as Kauai, but I do not feel so compelled to arrange non-stop activities on this island. Our activities here include swimming, reading, and lamenting the World Series that could have been.

  1. Comment from Millie on 21 Oct. 2003, 11:46 pm :

    Warning: Don’t go to the zoo. It’s the suckiest zoo ever.

    Suggestions: Take a day-long drive through the whole island (you can use the Mormon temple as a pee stop!). Stop at Giovanni’s for lunch (it sounds expensive but it’s really like an ice cream truck that serves shrimp and rice instead of ice cream). Drive to the top of one of the big overlook mountains and watch the sun go down one evening. Go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay (or something like that). Visit the Pali overlook.

    Then come back and speak to me about getting a group vacation home on Oahu.

  2. Comment from Millie on 21 Oct. 2003, 11:48 pm :

    Oh, and you two look adorable.

  3. Comment from Maggie on 22 Oct. 2003, 1:13 am :

    agreed. But upon your return to the mainland, could you possibly explain why Kauai is apparently overrun with feral chickens?

  4. Comment from Tammy on 22 Oct. 2003, 9:05 am :

    I think it is great that you extended the honeymoon! Now Rachel can finally relax, right?

  5. Comment from Angela on 22 Oct. 2003, 9:14 am :

    Hey, that Hawaiian shirt finally looks at home :-)

    Today’s Japanese lesson: arigato means thank you.

  6. Comment from Em on 22 Oct. 2003, 12:46 pm :

    You crazy kids! The relaxation time is well-deserved. All I ask is that you please bring me back some feral poultry.

  7. Comment from EYC on 22 Oct. 2003, 6:48 pm :

    Are they wearing matching outfits? How cute (kawaii)!!!

    And tomorrow’s Japanese lesson - domo arigato is thanks in a very respectful way. Hee hee. I watch WAY too much anime…

  8. Comment from Angela on 22 Oct. 2003, 10:11 pm :

    Uh, yeah…my knowledge of Japanese is directly derived from Big Bird Goes To Tokyo, we won’t be going much farther than arigato and moshi moshi.

  9. Comment from Katie on 23 Oct. 2003, 10:15 am :

    Well all I got is what’s already been up - Domo Arigaoto… and I took it from Austin Powers who I think got it from a song “Domo arigato Mr. Roboto”

    Rachel and Glen - Bring me back some hawaii sand so I can take my own vacation. :)

  10. Comment from former MOB now MIL on 23 Oct. 2003, 4:10 pm :

    Much better pic, Rachel! By the by, you got some great wedding gifts! I’m really enjoying them! :)

Honeymoon

Posted by Glen in on 14 Oct. 2003, 11:00 pm

We’re in Kauai and loving it. There are wild chickens everywhere, even on the beach. Here is my fifteenth attempt to take our photo with my phone (Rachel had other ideas).

  1. Comment from Nick on 14 Oct. 2003, 11:20 pm :

    I can’t tell from that picture, do you have a tan yet?

  2. Comment from Angela on 15 Oct. 2003, 9:12 am :

    Maybe Rachel is not cooperating because she knows about the “No Communication on the Honeymoon” Rule. I know, this is the first I’ve ever heard of it too :-P

  3. Comment from Tammy on 15 Oct. 2003, 12:58 pm :

    The wedding was awesome! So many people told me what a great time they had! I hope you guys are relaxing!

  4. Comment from Auntie Joy on 15 Oct. 2003, 1:19 pm :

    Your wedding matched the weather—JUST PERFECT!

  5. Comment from Em on 15 Oct. 2003, 9:34 pm :

    I am so jealous, I may puke! Have lots of fun for us poor working stiffs!

  6. Comment from Mark on 16 Oct. 2003, 1:24 pm :

    Why is Rachel in Hawaii with Bono?

    Oh, wait…

  7. Comment from former MOB on 16 Oct. 2003, 7:28 pm :

    Thanks to the bride, sister #2 and MOB now have colds! I want to bake it out on the beach in Hawaii! No fair!

  8. Comment from Mike on 16 Oct. 2003, 11:59 pm :
