It’ll be nice if Boon can give me a quote like this for my wedding day:

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. —Homer

But it’s ok, I’ll settle for his super-secret ’special’ item.

Taking a break from exercising to learn some new euphemisms.
I think they will spice up my conversation!

Today, I lived a little and added a little garnish to my lunch.

Who does that idiot think he is, gate crashing my engagement party? I don’t care how much Leng’s parents adore him. Steven is not going to be invited to MY wedding with MY Leng. Not his Leng. MY Leng. I wish I had a punching bag right now.

At least the cake-tasting session with Leng and Anna went well. Looks like Norman managed to get some really great shots of us tasting the cakes, too. Anna’s chef really out did himself. I kept trying to steal seconds of the raspberry and chocolate mousse cake but Anna kept pushing the plate away just before I got another helping. I know she’s only trying to help, though. I suppose it’s for the best. I need to lose weight fast, and extra cake isn’t going to help me.

This is one about hamburgers…
This is forced reading… so I will cut down on the ‘wrong’ foods and get healthy in time for the wedding.

And Obama did, apparently. He was inaugurated on 20th Jan and the nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize closed on 1st Feb. So it was more the image-making machine of Obama’s camp that won.

From an online blogger: ‘So can I win a Nobel prize for Physics on the basis I might invent warp drive?’
But this seriously calls into question the validity and even sanctity of the Nobel prize.

Leng nearly crashed into a sea urchin underwater. It was funnier than it looked at that time. I swear the sea urchin looked shocked.

But it was a good trip, and a reminder in many ways of just why I’m marrying Leng.

Interesting discussion from the founders of Google.
Information is power.
That can be more heady than money.
I’ll just settle for a job that pays me enough to live.

I’ve been trying to get Leng to watch the Vampire Diaries, but she’s not really into this whole genre.
It’s not bad, certainly more palatable than Twilight, although still a little too tweeny for me.

Great movie, but the title left me scratching my head. Anybody know why?

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but… I’m starting to think that losing my job was the best thing that happened to me in a long time, besides Leng, of course.

Everything is so much simpler and clearer now. I don’t have to worry and be stressed about my clients or my performance at work. No more looking over my shoulder to see if the new guy at work is going to outdo my weekly quota or not. No more brown-nosing like a dog to a boss who works a fraction of the hours I do and earns five times as much.

Now that I’m not constantly preoccupied and stressed by work, I’m happy – I feel like myself again. I actually have time to think about Leng and how much she means to me, and what I really want to do with my life.
