"The body is willing but the brain is weak."
There are 2 days until the wedding.
Today was spent in run-around-like-chicken-with-head-cut-off mode. Liturgies, hand-outs, wedding party gifts, champagne purchases, hair stylist rehearsals, homework, CD playlists for the ceremony and reception, and a 2-in-1 bridal/bachelor party for Mel & I thrown by our Toronto-based friends.
Happily that last one was exactly what I needed: something to unwind and momentarily forget about...well, everything else. This is what good friends are all about. That, and giving you alibis and spare shovels when you need to start hiding bodies. Tonight's fesitivies made me forget about the stress, the seemingly endless details to be work on, and more than anything, that damned Japanese language program built into my uncle's computer.
Work on the hand-out was halted when I found myself engaged in battle against said language program. The declaration of war was made as I type out a rough draft of the hand-out for the wedding ceremony, only to discover that my words were turning into nonsensical
hiragana characters. I wish I could say I won. Alas, the Japanese language program defeated me, and I was left having absolutely no idea how the hell to type in English again.
My uncle showed me about an hour ago how to turn off that program. All it took was 2 clicks on the right icon, and the problem was solved. You've won this round, language program, but next time victory shall be mine. Oh yes, it shall be mine....
Today's Thought: did I ever tell you how tired and incoherent I am?
