It's my brother's wedding today.
I'm not part of the brother clic though so thankfully I haven't been invited to the reception afterwards, so I just gotta power through the ceremony and then the rest of the day is ours. :-)

Fortuitously only a few of the annoying relations made it, so it's mostly a good crowd.

Captain Yesterday's older brother: All the meat trays are gone, all that's left is cheese!
Me: the veggie trays are left.

Somebody has been watching too many food competition shows on the Food Network.

I don't understand people who expect good food at a wedding. Anywhere more than twenty people are eating from a buffet line, it's gonna be iffy at best.

Different brother, and his wedding so much better, because of meticulous and incredibly anal planning.
According to him.

I'm sorry, Cap, I guess I didn't delete fast enough.
I can be pretty damned snarky and self-absorbed myself, but holy cow, if it's not your wedding and you're a guest, then... dude. It's not about you.

Yup.
Pretty much.
Of course it being my family, he wasn't the only one b*@#~ing.

So much so that he was a guest at a friend's son's wedding, and they ran out of food! This was too much for his hot Persian blood, so he and three friends immediately stormed out of the wedding, made many desperate phone calls, and returned less than 2 hours later with a full roast goat, plus about two full tables of other food.
It was a running joke that there were over 60 pounds of leftovers when the wedding and reception finally ended.
But NOBODY runs out of food at a Persian wedding! Nobody!

Homunculus #1 suddenly wants to watch the Lord of the Rings for the first time!!!Hah! Hope he likes it! (If you let him. If not, I hope you have a good day! (I don't know his relative age/maturity/etc.))
We watched the first disc of Fellowship last night as a family. (We only have the extended cuts.) Homunculus #2 is definitely a bit too young for it, Homunculus #1 did get into it but was not ready to sit thru disc 2 in the same night. Which I pretty much expected.
So woot for family nerd-bonding!

The older Teen Titans show was where its at.

Young justice is superior in every sense.

That's a lotta goat.
(I've found a butcher who sells goat in Bradford. At some point, I need to buy some and cook something with it. Curried goat is supposed to be a bit of a classic)

Alas, I was only the goat herder, I never got to actually eat one.
If anyone wants to learn about patience, I highly recommend trying to milk one.
If you do, make sure it isn't a billy goat, as my dad found out, they really don't like to be milked.
That's also how I found out what dog food is made of, as my parents ended up selling their first "milking goat" to Purina. :-)

Jamaican curried goat is one of the most amazing, underrated foods on the planet. Especially with cold beer.

Well, the one-day heat wave was easy enough to deal with, but in a very unusual turn, it didn't cool off all that much last night (lows in the 60s) and it's 102 again today, meaning that despite my best efforts, it's 86 in the house.
Not TOO terrible, but not exactly condusive to doing a lot of heavy-duty housework, either. Hopefully we'll get some fog tonight...
(Oh, and the air quality was so bad yesterday that it actually set off the fire alarms in the rooms with open windows -- we couldn't even see Albany Hill, just over a mile away, because the air was so smoky.)

What I learned I can do today.
Tie my shoe with one hand while walking two beagles.
Edit: would that be about 16 dexterity...

While I'll admit there are better shows, (mlp, avatar TLA, and gravity falls all jump to mind first) I'll still adamantly say that the brainless piece of cartoon that is TTG in no way stands up to the sometimes brilliant writing of the original TT. Young Justice is certainly a more interesting story, but the characters and their interactions is where Teen Titans shine. That aspect was removed from Teen Titans GO, giving way to potty humor for the sake of an easy joke, or strange humor merely to be as absurd as possible.
In the immortal words of Apple Jack "A whoopie cushion? That's like a joke shortcut."Edit: this isn't meant in a confrontational manner, just conversational.

brilliant writing?
It's a direct lift from the comic.
The best, award winning storyline from the comic got kiddified and turned into a cartoon.
Nothing original about it. Some interesting editing, perhaps.

Got one for you Gran.
Had a guy walk in I ask him
Me: Would you like a single king bed or two queen beds?
Him: It doesn't matter whatever is cheaper.
Me: one king bed it is.
Him: Oh but I need two beds.
Me:.... -_-

I'm the wrong person to haggle.
word of advice never haggle with a person that has nothing to loss.

Well I have actually had people try to haggle with me when I worked at a grocery store. I just gave them a blank look until they stopped.
