Color me unsurprised. It appears Northeast Ohio-based First Energy is responsible for August's massive blackout. Anyone who's ever lived around here knows that the power system is laughable. The lights on our street will use any excuse -- winds over 5 mph, heat, cold, small woodland creatures, neighborhood children, general malaise -- to cease functioning.

This news does, however, give me a weird sense of satisfaction. Now I have even more reason to hate the electric company.

Wedding proofs have arrived! I'm working on a little slide-show do-hickey to put up here. Soon, I promise.

No worries, Ms. Becky. You'll woo him well enough in time.

Nope. No word on the blasted wedding proofs yet. Apparently, they're being dragged up I-77 (at speeds upwards of 3 mph) in a little red wagon by team of slugs. By my estimation, they might cross the North Carolina border by Thanksgiving. It's really killing me, all this waiting. I need to see pictures of the hankie dance before I burst.

For those of you who didn't attend the wedding, you'll just have to wait for me to post the pictures before an explanation of the hankie dance is posted here. It's really not the same without visual evidence. Trust me, and burn burn burn with curiosity.

I really can't understand why people haven't tired of Survivor. I've never watched an episode all the way through, but every time I'm unfortunate enough to see a commercial for it, they're trying some new "shocking twist" to boost ratings. I don't care what they say; there's no way they're going to convince me that looking at that Ogre-from-Revenge-of-the-Nerds doppelganger's bits and watching people drink eel semen is quality entertainment. I'll start watching it the moment they put the contestants in actual danger. I say dress 'em all up like Church of England vicars and air-drop them into central Belfast. Now that would be quality TV.

Marc and I celebrated our one-month anniversary on Tuesday, yet we STILL haven't gotten the wedding proofs from the photographer. I called said photographer early last week and talked to her husband, who stammered some excuse about the proof books being on back-order, but the photos would be mailed "by the end of this week." My mom called today, and they assured her that the photos will be in the mail tomorrow, no doubt sent off, as Mom put it, "by priority pack mule." At this rate, I'm thinking maybe we can make it all the way to our first year anniversary without ever having seen a photograph of our nuptials.

If you live in Cleveland Heights, get your ass to the polls tomorrow and vote yes on Issue 35. For the lovva god, please. Aside from the fact that it's a good idea, and a tasty way to do it, it would really make me happy to stick it to the self-righteous shitheads who have been stuffing my mailbox with anti-gay, "truth about the homosexual agenda" nonsense for the past two weeks.

The proliferation of the new W32.Mimail.C@mm virus, while vexing, gets my vote for Funniest Virus-Containing Email of the year.

Hello Dear!,

Finally i've found possibility to right u, my lovely girl :) All our photos which i've made at the beach (even when u're without ur bh:)) photos are great! This evening i'll come and we'll make the best SEX :)

Right now enjoy the photos.
Kiss, James.

Is everyone else who's received this message wondering, as I have been: To what is James referring when he references the "bh"? Birthing helmet? B'nai hotdog? Bong headgear? The mind boggles ...

Boggles heatedly?
