A Very Big Very Special Post

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Well, maybe not that big, but certainly, a post.

Guildilocks and Shinobi (er …xkordave) got married today in the Manti Temple. It was a sunny and windy day, and my first sunburn of the year. Sukie was injured in the process, but not literally in the process, since (for those of you who don’t follow along) Sukie and I are non-Mormons and certainly not temple-goers, by natural extension. But she did miss a step and fell down. It was (is) pretty bad. I think the road to recovery will be rough.

Anyway back to the happy couple. I remember bugging Shinobi about when he’d finally ask her to marry him, and even when he did the engagement was a very long one (well, for Mormon standards, anyway.) That I can think of I don’t recall one longer than two months, but that is unlikely to be the record, but 7 to 8 months certainly is a long time.

Anyway, so today they got married. There’s a lot to be said on the subject, since they are close friends (each) but I’m afraid there comes a point where I just don’t feel I am capable of the words so I just stop, clam up and get a strange look on my face.

Hopefully it will suffice to say that I feel very good about this union, and very good about the fruits it will produce.

I digress, I wish them all the luck and happiness that life certainly has in store for them.

In the snow to the Cave City

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I’ve been listening to a lot of Final Fantasy tracks lately. It makes me really want to play those games. I’m currently going to try to accomplish more things in Kingdom Hearts II so I can unlock the secret ending (which is badass if you haven’t seen it on YouTube.)

I liked video games a lot as a kid, but Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan, as we call ‘em now) made me love the video games. From the first scene where Terra is marching in her Magitek suit to the cave city, Narshe, to the encounter with the frozen Esper – all the way through to the end, it’s probably the best game ever made.

I’m totally serious about that.
