After my last post, John says I should ‘lighten up’. Taking that advice, I won’t address the rather negative status of the digital camera Livewire was going to buy. I’m not in a good place right now.

Rebecca’s wedding was really nice. There were some rather long gaps between the service, dinner and dancing, but altogether I was really glad I went. Pete and Rita joined Simone and I. The service and reception were at a Bed and Breakfast near Erin, Ontario. Simone was a little upset that she was surrounded by plants and couldn’t go outside because of the rain and swarms of mosquitoes. We also spotted a lightning bug on our way out, but it was sitting on the ground… nothing so spectacular as you would expect from seeing them portrayed in movies.

It was certainly more of “my friend, Rebecca’s wedding” rather than “my ex-girlfriend, Rebecca’s wedding”. Even still, it’s was a little weird to see someone I once cared about so deeply run off with the man of her dreams! Ian’s an extremely friendly guy, charisma++, and I like him. While it never got ‘too weird’, if I had to pick the strangest moment, I’d have to say the First Dance. Not at all because of the fact that it WAS the First Dance, but because the song was “Storybook Love” from The Princess Bride. Cheesy song, I know, but most moments in our lives have some song or songs that become our own theme, and that was mine during high school.

Okay, back to being a goof.

Only got another two weeks until I’m on vacation. Even though I’ve got two weeks off, I’ll be doing grunt work for my parents. Originally, the major To Do on my list was reshingling the boat house. Now that my parents have to move out August 31st, my list has gotten much longer.

How cruel. First they sell my childhood home, then they have me do the dirty work!

Elsewhere, two-thirds of Britons believe that the London bombings were in retribution to England’s participation in the Iraq War. Meanwhile, almost the same percentage of Americans still believe that Iraq had WMDs, even though their own government has confirmed that there were none.

North of the 49th, Steven Harper (purposely misspelled to differentiate him from me) is telling everyone that he would have gone to war against Iraq with the US…

…ignoring for a moment the fact that more than half of Canadians were against the war, doesn’t this seem to be coming a little late? I think he’s just still spitting mad that Belinda crossed the floor.
