As much as I love the city, it's beautiful getting away. And weddings are delightful.

Someday Simba this will all be yours
Amazing email from one of my friends:
I was recently lounging around, television surfing and whatnot, when to my surprise (and pleasure) I noted that Disney's The Lion King was playing on tv. Naturally, I became enthralled. Upon the movie's conclusion, I said to myself, "Damn, Disney, well done. That is one. good. movie." And I must say, Jeremy Irons as Scar - pretty amazing execution of that role.
Now as some of you may know, I am strangely fond of the works of William Shakespeare, and in particular, Hamlet. I recently learned from classmates, and let me tell you this absolutely rocked my world, that The Lion King IS Hamlet revisited. Before you resist, consider:
Simba as our angsty prince, Timon and Pumbaa as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Tom Stoppard would be proud), Zazu and Rafiki as dual-role Polonius, and Scar as Claudius (how much cooler is it that Jeremy Irons was Scar now?).
Friends, forgive me if I am repeating what is common knowledge, but I have to say, this little kernel rocked my world. Pretty awesome.
hakuna matata,

Online dating
Amazing story my friend sent me:
I saw your face on my OKC homepage and decided to investigate your profile to figure out what moisturizer you use (I'm guessing it is a mixture of silk sheets and babies bottoms judging by the apparent softness of your skin) After perusing through your profile pictures and reading your profile I didn't find your moisturizer brand but I have decided that we are clearly the two coolest and best looking people on this website and we should take advantage of it. I say we just get married and make a happy family of perfectly aesthetic children that are so awe striking and awesome they make world rulers drop to their knees and beg to pay us huge sums of money for the genetic code. Then we can live happily ever after, throwing money in the trash and partying like Charlie Sheen. Maybe even adopt an African child for shits and giggles. As you can see I have this whole thing planned out, so all you have to do after you pop out some kids... actually screw that, you can't afford to mess up your figure, we'll get a surrogate mother. So all you have to do is sit by the pool, drink margaritas, get oiled up by hot pool boys and look good all day while I crunch numbers and conduct business. So are you down or what?
