An end has a start

Broken — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 17:04:03 +0000

Well, it’s almost the end of this year. Looking back at it all, I regret nothing! The highlight for me was definitely me getting married. And the honeymoon in Egypt was pretty sweet too!

So, here’s to a great year gone by, and looking forward to a great 2009. To everyone out there, may all your dreams come true next year!

Woah

31 Days to the wedding. One Month.

Hark!

Hmmm, I guess I need to make an update. Blogging every day. Hah! I’m having trouble blogging once a month it seems!

I guess it’s because there’s really nothing exciting to write about anyways. Plans for the wedding is continuing well, there’s still a bunch of things to do, but at least it’s all on the roll. Wedding invitations have been sent out to all, so we should be receiving confirmations all the way through the rest of this month.

Oh! My car’s fixed. At least it’s no longer overheating, although the whole exercise cost me R5000 which I didn’t really have to spare. If I did, I would’ve spent it on a PS3!

Gamewise, Gwyneth got me Super Mario Galaxy. It’s a really fun game, but oh so frustrating. I’m giving it a bit of a break at the moment, but will most likely return to it this weekend.

And that’s really all there is to say at the moment. Tomorrow night we’re going to Firkin to check out The Parlotones, and One Sock Thief. Should be a good gig!

Eeeeh, for someone who said he’s going to do more regular postings to a blog, I’m not doing an awfully good job about it!

Probably because not an awful lot really has been happening. My car’s still not fixed, I’m driving with my mother’s Uno at the moment. We haven’t had much drama with power these last few days, but I’m willing to bet that’s going to change soon, as the mines are starting up again.

The wedding’s now 88 days away. I better start getting my ducks in a row! The invites are nearly finished at least, they should be going out from next week. Most urgently now, is to organise a minister, and I should probably look at monkey suits. I’m thinking of hiring, as I can’t see myself wearing the suit more then once!

Been watching a lot of movies lately. That’s good. It’s about time I get back into that hobby! Gamewise, it’s still Mass Effect in first position, followed closely by Burnout Paradise and Metroid Prime 3 bringing up the rear.

Nothing really new music wise. The Cold War Kids is growing on me, and The Editors even more so. That’s about all…

Mixed blessings

It’s very nearly weekend. This morning was a nightmare getting to work, due to our lovely load-shedding company, Eskom. Took me 25 minutes to get through a traffic light, and I believe I still got of lightly!

My car. Destroyed. Well, probably not that bad. It was still overheating, so my dad was looking at it. We got a new radiator cap, as the other one was leaking and that could’ve been the cause of the overheating. This morning when my dad drove with the car, it just died on the way to work. It’s towed back home, but I’m not happy. I just spent R2000 to get it fixed, and now it’s worse! I don’t have this kind of money, I need to save for the wedding. I feel like crying a bit even…

We got hold of Burnout Paradise yesterday. I really like it, it’s a whole new experience compared to the other Burnout games. I now have a little too much games to play I think though.

99 Days till the wedding.

This afternoon we will be meeting with the wedding planning people to discuss our colour scheme, which is Lime Green and Fuchsia. We’ll also be meeting with the florist to discuss the flowers we want for the wedding. Things are slowly starting to pick up momentum now. Gwyneth will be getting her aunt to help with the invitations, which we’ll hopefully get done by this month’s end, so we can get them sent out asap!

Got a good couple of hours in with Mass Effect last night, I’m really digging this game. Played some Metroid Prime 3 as well. Juggling between two consoles ain’t easy. Should probably not get a PS3 anytime soon, for sanity sake!

A beginning has a start

A new year, a new blog. And a new entry!

So, for starters – HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s going to be quite an eventful year, that’s for sure. Last year ended on a little bit of a bummer, with my car’s water-pump borking, which is a story for another time. So currently I’m car-less, using my Gwyneth’s car to get my to work and back. Hopefully the car will be sorted this Saturday.

And what’s lying ahead for this year? The biggest and most important event for this year, is the wedding. 26th of April. 115 days. Before I know it, it’s going to be over and done with. Woah! So far the honeymoon is taken care of, and we’ve got the venue sorted out too. We now need to get the invites sorted out, and then Gwyneth needs her dress made, and I need to look at suits. There’s a million of other little things which is bound to pop up at one point or another. The main focus really is to save save save to make sure we’ve got enough money for it all!

More details to follow on the planning and progress of the wedding, amongst other things.

In other events, there’s really not much to talk about really. I think I should start using this blog to keep track of movies and games that I’m playing as well. I don’t think that’s a bad idea at all. I wonder if there’s any plugins for WordPress that does that. Hmmm, must investigate.
