My Addled Brain

To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect going into this weekend. Jamie and Ubergeek’s wedding had a chance to be either really, really good, or a complete and total disaster. Luckily, enough money was sunk into the planning of this event (by far the most elaborate wedding I’ve ever been in, much less attended) that everything went smoothly. Frighteningly smoothly.

I could put a breakdown of everything that’s happened here on this page, but I think this event requires something with a bit more attention (just like everything else that has gone along with this wedding). It may take me a week or so to get it done, but I think everybody’s going to like it. But I will mention a few important things.

• When using a tube to dispense confetti, it is wise to hold the tube over your head, and flick with your wrist only - otherwise, you risk injuring those nearby you with giant wads of tissue paper.
• Sleeping on a Disney couch is nowhere near as comfortable as sleeping on an egg crate on the floor.
• I may snore, but the Other Brother pretty much kicks my arse in the noise department. MCG has the video to prove it.
• When paying for rooms for your child and his or her ex-wife, it is always a good idea to put the two rooms under separate names, lest the ex commandeer both rooms, leaving your child up the proverbial creek.
• They really don’t know a whole lot of songs at dueling piano bars.
• I think my liver gave out sometime Saturday night. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had that much to drink over the same period of time. Luckily, all my drinking took place at the hotel I was staying at, so there was no need to drive, or attempt to figure out which bus to take back to my hotel in my Jack Daniel’s induced haze. I’m taking up water again - at least flouride isn’t fatal.
