Life Updates of a Larger Magnitude

First, pics have been posted. Vegas, Shakes’ bday hash, even some wayward New Years pics… Check out the links on the top left. Second, countdown to wedding bells (Lisa and Tom’s, of course!) is now 6 days. 6 DAYS! I’m amazed. I’m astonished. I’m spell-bound. Really I’m just very excited.

AND it doesn't force you to use Microsoft Media Player to sync (I hate that program), plus it lets you delete songs right off the player when you don't like them. All in all a good purchase so far. ($225 with a $50 rebate) After filling my Zentastic with 10GB of songs, I still wasn...
