I’m sitting in the Denver airport right now, using my FIEA laptop. My oldest brother got married yesterday. He and his wife are perfect for each other. I’m sure they will have a long and happy marriage.

I’ve attended so many weddings in the past six months, but I guess I’m just getting to be that age where everyone starts thinking about those kinds of things. It’s still weird to me to think about someone who’s only twenty-three or twenty-four getting married. I guess I just always assumed that getting married and starting a family were things you did after age thirty, when you were settled down and had money.

It was good to get to see the whole extended Forget family. I also got to meet my half-brothers’ maternal family. I sort of knew them when I was really young, but not very well. A lot of them live in Florida, so maybe I will visit them now that I know them.

My mom officiated the wedding ceremony. In Colorado the only requirement for marrying someone is that you have to know them for at least three years. The ceremony was in the City Park in Denver, which overlooks the skyline and the mountains. The view was lovely.

Everyone thought it was going to rain (it had been raining for days, an oddity in Denver at this time of year), but it cleared up at the last minute and it was clear and sunny for the ceremony. We really lucked out.

I have a project due tomorrow. (Technically it was due on Friday.) I’m having a hard time motivating myself to finish it. I should have plenty of time on the Atlanta-bound leg of my flight. It’s going to be sad leaving my whole family behind to go back to Orlando. On the other hand, school is really getting into high gear and it’s really exciting. I can’t wait to get into the really tough course work.

I’ve probably rambled enough and I should stop procrastinating so I’ll have time to play Dead Rising when I get back home.

I spent some time at work today playing with the Yahoo! maps API. It seems like you should be able to create a pretty cool strategy game using an API like this for the map. I think a zombie game would be cool. You would play the role of the military trying to contain a zombie outbreak. The API doesn’t update all that quickly and you get a limited number of hits to the API each day, (50,000 for Yahoo!) so I think an action game wouldn’t work very well. Turn-based strategy would be perfect though.
