We went to Wisconsin to attend my second-cousin-once-removed’s wedding (hi Kristin!). This was one of the images I captured at the reception. More can be found at my flickr set

Funny Words and Phrases
I occasionally have the realization that a word or phrase that I’ve been using for a long time is—well, funny. For example, “Sluggish”: Like a slug.
You my friend are as to a slug. The river is moving like a slug. Government activity can be described as similar to the speed of a small slime-producing salt-fearing creature.
That’s been my amusement this morning.

Not Likely
Contrary to the silence that has echoed on the Eyebrow recently, I have been doing stuff. This stuff involves other stuff, and stuff further defined by additional stuff. A lot of this stuff is blog-worthy, but recently I’m just not that interested in sitting for long periods of time and blogging about it. I’m sure this phase will pass, but for now you’ll just have to deal with my dribs and drabs.
Such as this: GI Joe, The Rise of Cobra was surprisingly watchable. It helped that I went in with the sort of expectations that you should carry if you’re seeing a movie that is based on a cartoon that is based on a toy. That said, for a PG-13 action CGI flik, not too bad. Dennis Quaid, as General Hawk, had some lines that honestly made me cringe (how can good actors agree to say lines like that? Right! They’re paid to do it) and the lead character had the acting ability of a plank, but I’ll still stick with my determination of “watchable”.
