Well, as usual, it's been a while. Between my job searching, my traveling, my wedding planning, and fixing my bathroom sink, I've been swamped lately. Now, we've finally turned the corner on the most meddlesome part of planning a wedding: invitations. This leads to my first rant of the evening.

Why is it that Microsoft has to make everything so damn complicated? We have about 153 invitations going out, each with two envelopes. I figured that I could just set up an envelope document in Word (where each "page" would be an envelope layout), then just stick a stack of our envelopes in the printer, and print the whole thing all at once. As I found out, Word doesn't support that, so we had to do each envelope one at a time. Pain in the ass, I say. Now, I know what you're thinking - why didn't you just use labels? Well, put plainly, because my fiancee is weird. I wanted to, since each page prints thirty addresses, but well, there comes a point when you just can't understand what the hell brought you to this point in the first place.

Second, I've recently come to the conclusion that the majority of people in this world are simply too stupid to breathe. As evidence of this, I put forward the iPhone. Can we please stop talking about this on every site, at every minute of the day? I've watched people spend hours or even days in line, waiting to spend $600 on a phone that has yet to prove itself. It's not like you're waiting in line for tickets to an incredible concert or something that you know will sell out in a matter of minutes. You're waiting in line to buy a phone. A particularly expensive phone at that. An expensive phone that has never been proven in the marketplace. As anyone that has any experience with anything electronic will tell you, you never buy the first version of anything. Wait a while, until Apple fixes the inevitable problems, and then buy the next version. It's incredibly stupid. Personally, I prefer the jPhone
