Amongst the miriad of weddings that seem to be happening within my circle of friends is one that I'm just not sure about. It's not really my place to inform the couple of their potential problems, though. It's not the lack of parental consent that bothers me. It's so not important if the parents agree or disagree on the choice of spouse. And it's not...

I can sing, but I can't dance. I'll never be a rock star.
Since my personal website is hosted at work there are some things that I just can't talk about on it... I came into the office yesterday (and today) because they really enjoy giving me more work than any human can shoulder. While I was busy coding my fingers raw, putting more thought and effort into a site than the budget probably allowed for, another co-worker,...

For the past month or so, there's been one song in my playlist that has haunted me. It's the song I keep hitting repeat for and keep searching out to play directly. The song? Built to Spill's I Would Hurt a Fly. Even while writing this entry I've let it play twice.

So, I've added people to my friends list even though I don't know them too well yet. But then, how well does anyone know anyone on the 'Net, a place where even identity is not sacrosanct? However, even if an identity is a naught but a falsehood, does that mean it can't be liked?
So, um, yeh... People on the friends list. Look at me...

girls can not be friends. just as they can't have friends.

It seems odd to add any sort of meaniful content here, when I already keep a journal/weblog/whatever on my own site. ...Not that I'm trying to get traffic to my site or anything... Oh, who am I kidding? I'd love the traffic to my site! I feel like I've got a highway build but humanity has taken to the skies, leaving the roads unused! Go,...

thrasher:
Neverwhere is a wonderful book. Nobody listens to me on the books I suggest either. You should all try Christopher Moore.
attercap:
Neverwhere is an amazing book and if you like it then I can't push King Rat (by Mieville, not Clavell) enough.
Thus far the only Christopher Moore book I've read is The Gospel According to Biff. Any particular favorites amongst the Moore line?

"my name is amber," she said
and closed the door behind her.
i turned on the light.
the bulb was old and dying
and, like i once had been,
only moments before,
the room was alive in amber.

I figured it might end horribly and he might well get royally screwed, but the thing I kept thinking is this: He's a big boy, he's making his own decision, no one is holding a gun to his head.
Especially if it's gotten to the point of planning a wedding, momentum is against it stopping before he potentially makes a mistake. It's more likely if you illustrate to him what fun life is when you have time to live it before having to take on responsibilities and commitments that he'll come to the conclusion on his own. Tell him stories from your own life, take him out and show him if you can...
