Sorry about missing Monday, but I was exhausted from my wedding, then I got back to work to an emergency. I'm actually loading a java memory dump to look through as I type this. The wedding was a lot of fun, and thankfully, I think most of the guests enjoyed it too. For our wedding, we rented a summer camp for a weekend (surprisingly this is about the same cost as just having a fancy wedding over one night at a fancy hall), so there were lots of activities open for people during the day. They could play basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, practice putting, practice on a driving range, archery, ping pong, wii, and/or swim. People could also just hang out, sleep, or wander around. Then on top of all of that, we basically armed most people with nerf guns and told them they could shoot anyone at anytime whether they were armed or not, for any reason or no reason at all. This led to a bunch of ambushes and what I like to call "the mess hall massacre". In the mess hall massacre, I was being shot by six people in front of me, two that were circling around me, and one of the venders who what directly behind me. As I was being shot, I had one friend on my side shooting back, another handing me armed guns whenever I ran out. It was a complete blast. When I get some images of the festivities, I'll post them and talk about them. Hopefully there are some pics of the BBQ. I made vegetarian chili and two types of BBQ sauce from scratch, and family members grilled the food for me. We served close to one hundred people, something I've never tried doing before. I did have some help in the kitchen. Some of my wife's friends prepped veggies for grilling as I made the chili. I also prepped a lot of the stuff before the day of, and the BBQ sauces I made earlier in the week (two giant pots on a grill reducing various ingredients). Prepping the stuff was fun, except for the prepping of the hot peppers for the chili. That made my hands burn, and contacts burn even more, oh well. Sometimes there needs to be a little pain to get to the pleasure, or something like that.
Ok, the memory dump is about 75% loaded now and it's going to start killing my system's resources, so I'm going to stop typing now and post the comic, so it gets up there on time.
