Bleh

I'm not feeling particularly inspired, but I should post something as I am absolutely horrible about keeping my blog up to date.

For starters, my friends have gotten me to get on the MySpace bandwagon, as the link to the right will show. If you're lazy, you can just click here. I've also added a new webcomic link to User-Friendly, a webcomic geared toward humor of the open-source/Linux/tech support variety.

The wedding date creeps inexorably closer. Less than 6 weeks away, now. Emily is stressing out about it, as I'm sure most girls do with their respective impending weddings. As with other big occasions in my life, I don't think I'll become anxious until the evening before.

In Tim's Good News, I finally got an Internet connection at the house--yay for 3 Megabit/second ADSL. Emily and I also just bought a mattress for our master bedroom (I've been sleeping on my old full-sized bed in the other bedroom, if, for some unfathomable reason, you're curious). We purchased it at the Original Mattress Company in Pineville, NC. This particular store has one of their regional factories attached, and the salesman showed us how they make the mattresses. In short, I highly recommend them for any mattress needs you may have.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning unit in my car failed again. This time, it was a roughly $310 repair, with a damaged high-pressure line being the culprit. This, combined with the last failure (a bent condenser assembly), puts my A/C repair costs for my car at around $1,000. Otherwise, it's been a great car, but A/C is must-have with the muggy summers we get down here in the Carolinas.

One of the more surreal moments I've had recently was Emily and myself purchasing our wedding bands. It really brought into focus the gravity of what we're entering into with this covenant of marriage. I keep screwing up and failing to be the best husband-to-be for her, yet she is sticking with me. Let me say this: if you find a woman who loves you that much, hold onto her with all your strength; those good ones don't come around often.
