sometimes you just gotta go there.

This is perhaps one of the best headlines I’ve seen in a long time:
I really hope this marriage thing works out…
…because I already bought my pass for San Diego Comic Con 2011:
Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed, stay healthy, & not take any more days off other than the wedding so I can even have a chance to be able to go next year. But woo-hoo! 
One Of These Things Just Doesn’t Belong

I owe you all a recap of the Friday, Saturday, Sunday of Comic Con and of our trip to Disneyland BUT I had to interrupt to post this picture from our engagement party last night:
He effing did it again!!!
A View from the Airplane

I may complain about traveling often and all of my flight problems but man sometimes it really is beautiful when you can just sit back and enjoy the ride:

I’m working on a real post for tomorrow. 2 of them in fact that I started but haven’t finished, so stay tuned.
Three Cheers for iPads!
Jay and I got iPads on Friday!! Thanks to the very generous Jim for sending them to us as wedding presents. We truly cannot thank you enough, Jim. This was truly one of the nicest, sweetest, and most awesome things that anyone has ever done for us. Thank you, you totally rock dude!
The reason I’m finally now making this post now, on Sunday night, is because I’ve been completely distracted by trying to figure out the iPad. It’s awesome, by the way. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Jay’s had his iPad set up planned since it was announced that they existed, haha. I’m fairly certain that within 20 minutes of opening them, Jay had his completely set up. I downloaded a bunch of apps, but I really need some suggestions on which apps I should try out. Definitely leave me your recommendations in the comments section if you feel like it! Right now, I have the iBooks, the Kindle, Solitaire, FreeCell, Weather Channel, Netflix, USA Today, Jumbo Calculator, Craigslist Pro, a really cool one called Color Splash, ABC Player, Betty Crocker Cookbook, GTalk, Wikipanion, Huffington Post, Twitterrific, and Pandora. So basically, I have a rundown of all of the top apps that appear on the main page of the Apple Apps Store, lol.
I feel as though this is a callback to when I first got my iPod for Christmas 2005 and I spent January 2006 discovering PODCASTS! We all know how that little discovery ended up. This is cool, it’s like I’m exploring new territory all over again. Again, suggestions welcome
Of course, it wouldn’t be a blog post by yours truly if I didn’t have a zillion cheesy pictures documenting everything. So here goes:
As Jay pulls out the card, Zoe eyes her newest potential addition to the box-fort Jay made her.
His and hers, yo.
YAY!
And in the aftermath, a lonely kitty searches for something to play in, knowing she’s going to be ignored for the next two days…
An Evening with Chef Jay
One of the things that most people don’t know about Jay is that he loves to cook and create his own dinners. His best creation to date is “Jay-gers,” which are awesomely delicious stuffed hamburgers. He also makes superb chicken-dish creations too if you prefer chicken to beef. Last night, Jay made his newest burger creation for me and Clif, which he dubbed the “Anti-Edward.” It has something to do with the crazy amount of garlic that the burger involves, I guess.
Anyway, after the Jay-ger, this is the second best burger Jay makes. I figured I’d document the cooking process from start to finish. There’s a very big reason I rarely ever eat dessert and it has nothing to do with diet purposes. It has everything to do with reasons like I ate two of the Anti-Edward last night and was too full to eat anything else. I wish we had a big enough place for Jay to cook for everyone reading this right now (that’s right! All 6 of you 
lol). So here’s in layman’s terms the basic way to make the Anti-Edward:
Shape the ground beef into patties (duh). Note the Lysol wipes in the background indicating that you should start on a clean surface.
Olive oil.
Add garlic salt. Lots of garlic salt.
Flip!
Jay really likes using olive oil…
Great Value Texas Toast. Trust me, it may be from Wal-Mart the best brand.
Add cheese. This is cheddar but I tend to prefer American or Monterey (or Pepper) Jack.
Put ‘em together and whadda ya get?
The Anti-Edward.
Add some of the necessary dinner accessories.
And finally, an evening with Chef Jay is never complete until he makes you play a board game. My favorite is Blokus or Sorry! but last night’s choice was Jumanji.
It’s Like Music to My Screen

Whew. What a relieving Tweet:
Thanks, @CrackdMacScreen!
I’ve spent the last (literally) 5 hours at work emailing people on the YuBlog.org waiting list amongst other party related things, so my brain hurts right now. If you’re reading this and have any extra tickets, please let me know.
Also, if anyone reading this who believes in this sort of thing wouldn’t mind saying a prayer or some good thoughts for my aunt. It’s one of the many things that was going on last week I mentioned in Friday’s post. I don’t want to go into details but she’s very sick & in the hospital and some very important decisions will be made based on the results of some tests being done today. She’s my dad’s sister so if you wouldn’t mind sending him some good thoughts too, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
NuNews for Safe Sex
Posted by Colleen on Apr 22, 2010 in Picture Post, nuDia.tv
Soooo I’ve been trying to decide between long and short hair for the last week or so. Why am I announcing this completely uninteresting, slightly-self-absorbed fact? Mainly because it sets up the following pictures. Plus, I’m getting married in 373 days, people! I need to figure out these things now.
Anyways. I decided to compare recent shorter hair Facebook pictures with my longer hair “in action” on late 2009 NuNews videos. I discovered that these are the ads that Blip.tv sets up with NuNews videos:
P.S. I still don’t know if I like my hair longer or shorter. In person, I love it shorter but in pictures, I like it longer. I also weigh like 4lbs less than in these pictures which isn’t a lot but it’s enough. A shorter hair picture can be found below. Ahhhhhh I hate choices.
P.P.S. I’ve been MIA this month but I’m back and will be trying to post a lot more now, including with updated info on Jay and Jack’s Lost Finale Party in LA on May 23.
1993 was a great year for my orthodontist

Jay & I went to NY for Easter this weekend and to look at some reception halls (we found one!). My mom found this picture of me from (I think) 3rd grade:
Yeah, I was a looker alright. At least this wasn’t part of my ugly fat early college years phase <shudders>.
The Podcasters’ Supper
After the 30 Hour Podcast was over, a group of us went to eat dinner for a Podcasters’ Supper.
