Married sunburned jetlagged.

But most of all just happily married.


Oh and those movies you rented from your brand new rental account, those ones that you left in the truck while it sat at the airport for a week in extended parking while you were on your fancy pants Hawaiian vacation, ..those movies?

Yeah you're going to have to get another account.


On another note, I'd like to extend personal congratulations to Alamo Rent A Car for scamming me out of $25 per day because I'm 24 instead of 25. And also a nod to expedia.com, for confirming weeks beforehand that "yes Mr. Stephens, everything is paid for."

Feeling like a rugged rock of a man, reaching a hand down into the rough depths of trusty green cargo short pockets, I pull out my trusty knife and cut a big jagged slit in the top skin.

Rest assured my chosen meal can breathe while the magnetron tube dynamically converts high voltage electricity into undulating waves of electromagnetic cooking energy and roasts the living life out of my fresh kill.

The demo apartment looked so much better. Than the one I got. We got. Whatever.
I think we were distracted by the walls, decorated and adorned as they were, in a very orderly and appealing this almost feels like a normal house inside, kind of arrangement.
The demo apartment paraded fashionable leather furniture and one of those entertainment centers that was made out of real wood. Ornamental rugs and all manner of whatnots.

It were the whatnots and the sparklies that sold us on the apartment complex in question, methinks, but it were also the lack of whatnots and sparklies that made our unfurnished adjoining apartment, in spite of the adjoining golf course,

So very surprisingly unappealing.

It is my wish that as I grow older, as we get older, our decisions won’t be swayed by the decorations, the veneer, the facade.
