Wednesday August 3 2005. GENERIC.
  Beth says that I have "generic bag underwear". I'm not quite sure what that means, but I don't think it's good.
GOOD TIMES. 70%.

  Surprisingly, we didn't come back from Vegas with a whole lot of great stories. I mean, we all had a blast, but no one did anything amazingly stupid or hilarious. Let's see, we had Mikey O. getting drunk at 10 am and ending up singing at an Irish pub, we had Kenny hitting on a 20 in blackjack ("Don't see too many people busting with a 30, sir."), we had Barney chowing down multiple deep-fried Twinkies, we had Justin burping for blackjacks, we had a spontaneous--and very loud--rendition of "Pass The Dutchie" right in the middle of a marathon blackjack session (Mikey sings a hell of a backup), and we had plenty of $100 Coronas because all of us (me included) lost our frickin' asses at the tables. But despite the lack of a real ripper of a story, we all had a grand trip. And like I said about 5 millions times during the trip: Good times!

  My poor Bethy is having a rough go of it. On top of the wedding stress and the stress from her new position at work, she's also worried about and frustrated with her ear. Her ear, you say? Yeah, she got whacked by a thrown softball a couple weeks back and she's lost 70% of her hearing in her left ear. No, that's not good. However, the good news is that the doctor said she will get her hearing back, whether it heals naturally or has to be corrected by surgery.
  Here's hoping for healing naturally...
VERY AVERAGE. HELLISH INDEED.

  Has anyone else noticed that I've barely mentioned my fantasy baseball teams this year? Yeah, I'm pretty much gonna finish somewhere in the middle of the pack in both of my leagues. It's not that I have sucky players per se (well, maybe), but my players just aren't playing as well as they could be playing. And some aren't even playing at all. Damn you Barry Bonds!

MOUNTAIN VIEW. Hellish Indeed, Generic, Unable, 70%, Mountain View, Very Average, Good Times, and Free Cake!.
  Well, my parents completed The Big Move and are all settled in at their new digs in Charlottesville. It's really quite a lovely little place (sorry, I promise not to use the word "lovely" in a sentence ever again). They have a nice condo complex, a great view of the mountains, and a good location away from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia. I think they're gonna be quite happy there. Good on them.
UNABLE. FREE CAKE!
  After finally paring down our wedding guest list to a manageable number (manageable = more than I wanted and less than Beth wanted), we had Beth's mom go over the list to make sure all of those unknown and semi-known distant relatives were invite-able. She looked over the list and found only two people that we shouldn't invite.
  And what was the reason for not inviting these two people? Well, apparently they had died.
  Yes, that's right: we had dead people on our guest list.
  Oh, and speaking of Beth's mom, I'd like to thank her for springing for our yummy wedding cake. That was quite unexpected and very nice of her. Yippees from us. Thanks Mom!
