Out of The PIT

MJNL and I had our family wedding dinner last night. We spent some time trying to organize the meal and getting things ready like a slideshow, getting a projector and projector screen, and writing out thank you cards, etc. But we got there so late that we were not able to organize everybody (over half the people had sat down by the time we got there and it was nigh impossible to rearrange because nobody else knew enough people to reorganize them according to our seating chart) nor did we have all of the necessary organizing tools (like table numbers), but people in general were very good about it. There was not enough space for the projector either, which irked me quite a bit. But the food was good, and most people seemed to enjoy themselves. It was good to see everyone again.

So I've started playing badminton and broomball again. It feels good to be getting some sort of exercise after a month of lazing around. Hopefully this will also keep my belly down. *pats stomach* Been trying to catch up with all the things we need to get done with this upcoming dinner, trip stuff that needs to be concluded, and events for next month. We have not had any time to clean up! Our place is quite a mess, although it is not as cluttered as when we first got back. We basically moved all of the clutter to my parents' basement, so I guess you can say that it is just a deferred project. We do really need a day or two off to clear up this backlog..

I just heard on the news that the Lobster Trap was robbed last night! Which explains why we saw five police cars around that area when we were driving home from my parents' place last night..

So it seems as if the bomb threat was just a hoax. The police went through the building and did not find anything suspicious. Apparently someone made a bomb threat to one of the companies on the first floor, so I am guess that if anything did happen, we would have been okay?

We just had a bomb threat in the office today. I find it odd that the building is not getting evacuated.. Maybe it is not from a credible source? (Although there are a lot of police cars in front of the building right now..)

We celebrated New Year's Eve with both of our families today. We had dim sum with MJNL's family for lunch, visited her grandma in the afternoon, and then had dinner with my family afterward. We wanted to do some cleaning of the apartment, and we did do some in the short amount of time that were were home, but it does seem like an impossible mission when we're always away from home. Oh, so yes, we were away from home all weekend. We spent Friday night with Growly and co. First we watched Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, which turned out to be a very entertaining movie, even if it became difficult to suspend disbelief in the end. One major detraction (for me) is the obvious use of CGI during many of the effects shots, but it was still fun to watch. The four of us met up with one of Growly's friends to have dessert at Spin Dessert Cafe across the street, and we ended up showing many of our wedding photos and videos and did not return home until early the next da...

Well, as you may have noticed, The PIT (begghilos2.ath.cx) has been down for many moons, and most likely will never rise again. There are a number of reasons for this: I don't have the time to maintain a blog. My original domain name is now forever gone (more on that another time). My server is now in a state of flux and may not come back. I am married now! (Which is more for the reason behind The PIT, since my wife will now be able to remember things for me.) What does this mean? I am not sure. I liked having a blog close by so I can control every aspect, but that does take time to maintain. We will see how things go. Next up: Our wedding/honeymoon blog!
