In all, there were 5 trays of pasta, 3 trays of breadsticks and 2 trays of salad. Fortunately enough, we had plenty of people over last night to eat 2 trays of breadsticks. I can only wonder though, if these were the leftovers, I hope they had to feed a small community of people at their picnic!! Anyone know any recipes that use cooked spaghetti??

For those of you have felt somewhat helpless between yesterday and today, I urge you to do what you can, whatever that may be. The entire nation, as well as countries all over the world, cannot begin to fathom the magnitude of loss that the families and friends of those innocent lives that were so quickly taken. People are still trapped in the rubble, and when they're found, they will need medical attention from hospitals that are already packed to the brim and understaffed. Donate blood, if you can, or make a donation via PayPal or Amazon. If you can spread the word to the people in your communities of any organizations or relief funds that can help the people in Manhattan and D.C., do so. You may live 3000 miles from the horror, but you can be a part of the resolution and (hopefully) happy ending.

Countless casualties... and people in other countries dance and parade in their streets celebrating our pain. I have never been so scared before - there's no telling how this will end up. It sickens me that the most likely outcome is war.

Ah yes, the pleasures of sleeping in when you're used to waking up at 5:00 in the morning!! There's nothing quite like the feeling of opening your eyes and feeling 100% refreshed and awake. Now that I have all this spare time, I think I'm going to focus my efforts on the new design for my page and getting things prepared for the upcoming fall quarter. Andy and I may go rockclimbing tomorrow as well. *grin* I love getting time off from everything.

It was a nice ceremony, but for the most part, I was extremely distracted. One of the parents looked exactly like Lando Calrissian!! I swear it...this guy could've won a contest or something. The distraction lied in the fact that I couldn't think of the name of the actor who played Lando. The only name I could come up with was Lionel Ritchie - don't ask me why.

Then I started to think, "No, Lionel Ritchie is the guy who sang Tutti Frutti." For a short while I thought I was right, but I soon doubted my judgment. It wasn't until the end of the wedding that I asked Andy who really played that song. Little Richard, curious. Then I asked Andy who played Lando Calrissian...

...Billy Dee Williams - he's so damn smooth.

My Saturday Night pt. 2
I was asked by one of the groomsmen to drive his truck to the reception after the wedding. He was unaware that he had to ride in the limousine with the rest of the wedding party. I agreed to assist the guy, seeing as how I was the only one who could drive a stick-shift automobile.

After the wedding, I started to get a bit nervous cuz I hadn't driven stick in about two years - I was afraid of stalling, blowing up the truck or something equally as scary. I walk up to the truck, and it stood about a foot taller than me!! There's nothing like being afraid of a machine, but I agreed to help out, so I hopped in - err, climbed in. The first thing I notice - the very first thing - there were four damn pedals. FOUR!! I panicked, got the heck out of there and ran over to Michelle's car (leave it to me to ask a girl how to drive a monster truck). She told me that the one on the far left was the brake.

The brake!! I thought that was the second from the left - where the hell is this truck from?? She just shook her head at me and stated it was the parking brake. *phew* I drove the truck to the reception without a hitch. Granted, I squeeled the tires a few times, but that was the most I had to worry about.

Well, I've finished my second quarter at Fujitec America!! No more elevator / escalator business for me. The entire time I worked there, both Winter and Summer quarters, I wore business casual clothing. I wasn't required to, it's just something I did. To celebrate my last day, I wore jeans.

I was so happy...

I'm hard at work on a new design for this darn weblog. I'm trying to add some new features and make the overall appearance much more fluid-like. It appears September is the month for redesigns. I know jish and alison have both redone their pages. I'm feeling pretty slow though. To me, I always have to do a major overhaul -- this takes time. Oh well, it's on its way, so expect it sometime soon.
