Rough Cut: Sam and Patrick’s Wedding Video

So, it’s been almost a month since the Holden couple was married, and I’m sure they’d like to see some video by now. This is a rough cut of their lovely day, and I’m excited to share it (really, I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning – it’s a long story – and don’t have anything else to focus on since my one source of communication has been taken away from me).

The video is approx. 30 minutes long, so if you don’t have time to watch the entire thing, here’s a breakdown of the video order:

Take Me to the Movies

I know, I know. I missed Monday’s Dancing with the Stars…AGAIN! But who are we kidding? I bet none of you watched it in anticipation of me missing it. Am I right?

This week’s theme is movie songs, which I think is AWESOME. My favorite song from a movie? “If You Leave,” from Pretty in Pink. Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. So I hear Pamela Anderson is the spitting image of Dolly Parton. Let’s get going!

Niecy Nash, Jive: La Bamba! That movie made me cry so hard. I think I was about three when I first saw it, so I really had no idea what was going on, but I knew that a plane crashed and Lou Diamond Phillips was no more. I should probably watch that again sometime. This is a fast song, and a fast dance. They’re gonna have to really move! Hmmm, it’s a Jive with a little Latin flavor! It looks more like a Cha-cha to me. With kicks. Was it just me, or was that dance really long?

Marathon Monday, All Grown-Up

Rob, left, and Kris after the Marathon. BOSTON 2010!

There once was a time when I would wake up on Marathon Monday to my roommates mixing margaritas in the kitchen, messing it up, and ditching the mix for straight tequila…at 8 a.m. The day would be spent playing Beer Pong, doing shots and dancing to Kelly Clarkson and Shakira. Passing out at 1 p.m. was always expected, but so was rallying an hour later.

So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out I had to work (work?!?! seriously?!?!?) this year during the Marathon. As I left my apartment for the T at 8 a.m., I nearly called in sick in order to follow the 30-or-so 20-year-olds cramming into the rundown BC house down the block from me. I also almost stepped in throw-up a block later, but that couldn’t take me out of my memory cloud. Me and the other two people making our way downtown on the C-line Monday morning were clearly reflecting back to our college days.
