My cousin's wedding

There were many pics from the wedding, too many to post, so I created a web album where you can see them. Click here

These are pics from the BYU-UCLA football game we went to in September. I am slooow at getting the pics up, I know. It was cool to go to the Rose Bowl, one of the oldest stadiums in the U.S., and one of the biggest. It seats around 100,000 people. Ellen reluctantly wore her "Fully Invested" T-shirt. She never went to BYU, and never attended a game in Provo, but she is slowly catching the BYU bug.

HDTV is AMAZING

So, last spring, actually winter to be exact, I convinced Ellen to let me buy a 42 inch Sony High Def Television. It has been great for DVDs, because we also got a HDTV enabled DVD player with an HDMI input. You have to have HDMI to get that crystal clear picture. Maybe down the road, after I graduate law school, I'll get a HD-DVD player, which look great, but cost around 500 bones right now. ANYWAY, we never had cable until last month, when I got Ellen some mandarin channels. This week, I broke down and upgraded to an HDTV signal from Comcast. I know, Comcast stinks compared to Dish, but we have broadband internet too, and all of it is cheaper with Comcast. Well, I upgraded to the HDTV signal today, and the picture clarity is AMAZING. I was watching a little bit of the USC(thats South Carolina) versus Kentucky game, and it was like being at the game! I could see individual blades of grass on the field, the pores on people's faces. It is crazy how clear and smooth an HDTV picture is. The only problem is, there are only so many HD channels right now, so the programming available is somewhat limited..but if you are able to do it, I highly recommend HDTV. I don't know if I can ever watch non-HDTV again!!!

Ok, some people have complained about my lack of posts on this blog (namely LACEY), so I promise to get something up this weekend. Right now, however, I am studying hard getting ready for a criminal law midterm exam, (besides watching a half-hour of HDTV :) so I haven't had time. Be patient people, and I'll get some pics of our recent travels, including the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Universal Studios, and Rhiannon and Jud's wedding on the Cali coast.
Ta-ta for now.
