like two peas in some kind of pea holding device...

so, i'm engaged. my ring is too big, and now it's all scratched due to this ridiculous, semi-medieval ring guard doohickey. it was a brilliant idea- don't get it properly resized because it's too hard to part with, simply use a painful sliver of metal to hold it in place. stupid half assed idea. i'll be going to the jeweler's on monday.

because we are poor, the wedding is not until march 2006. chris has a family that roughly amounts to the population of idaho. not that idaho is extremely populated, but you try buying dinners, drinks, invitations, and the extras for all those potato lovers. it will not only break the bank, it will decimate it. it will blow it to fiery bits and leave behind not enough for dental records to allow proper identification of the bodies. those poor, poor tellers.

speaking of bankis, i had a situation at work. long story short, three hundred bucks went stolen/ missing under my watch. three hundred dollars, or approximately three hundred items from the dollar menu at burger king. that's a lot of french fries. it was a big issue that caused ulcers in places i don't care to mention, and then, two days later, i had an interview at a bank. if you follow me, a bank is where they keep large amounts of money. some banks keep large amounts of blood or sperm. other banks just keep large amounts of free, souviner pens and old pieces of suck candies. those are the kind of banks that my grandmother likes to frequent.

anyhow, i like to think of myself as a responsible person. events such as the one that occurred last monday prove otherwise.

i just read an awesome book. it's called "bringing down the house," and it's the story of card counters and how they took vegas for millions. i am now concocting a scheme to take, say, fon du lac, wisconsin for millions. this will require finding out if fon du lac has casionos. or at least a grocery store, because i'm out of juice.
