Demi and Ashton I do’s? Reports: They did

Hollywood’s most famous December-May couple — Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher — reportedly got married over the weekend in Beverly Hills.
People magazine said 100 people attended the last-minute nuptials of Moore, 42, and Kutcher, 27. According to the magazine, everything was planned in a day, and the wedding was held according to the tenets of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical faith popular among celebrities. “They are so happy together,” People quoted a source as saying.
Kutcher, a star of TV’s “That ’70s Show,” and Moore, a movie actress, started dating two years ago. Moore was formerly married to Bruce Willis, with whom she had three children: Rumer, 17; Scout, 14, and Tallulah, 11. The kids are said to call Kutcher “MOD” for “My Other Dad.”
Willis was a wedding guest, as were Wilmer Valderrama of “That’70s Show” and actress Lucy Liu, Us Weekly said.
“Most everyone was dressed formally,” a source told Us.

Motorola Motorola RAZR V3x

Motorola Motorola RAZR V3x

Be seen and heard with the Motorola RAZR V3x – the supremely svelte, sophisticated mobile accessory for discerning fashion and tech enthusiasts.  The handset’s intuitive multimedia offerings include: real-time 2-way video calling*, still and moving image capture and editing, and large color display.  Additionally, the Motorola RAZR V3x features SCREEN3*, an innovative technology solution from Motorola that gives you zero-click access to news, sports, entertainment, and other premium content directly from your mobile device home screen* – no buttons to push, no browsers to launch. Motorola’s SCREEN3 puts fresh content at your fingertips.   A 2 mega-pixel camera, Bluetooth® wireless technology* and removable memory add to this lengthy feature set.  Strutting a sleek, slim design and premium functionality, the Motorola RAZR V3x exudes multimedia perfection.

This sure looks slick… I wouldn’t mind one! However, I plan to never buy another Motorola cell phone due to the extreme lack of quality of the V551 that I had. It dropped calls like mad- after 5 minutes or so even if it had all bars shown on the reception area. Anyway, I bought a Nokia 6230b a few months ago and have gotten stellar reception and battery life. It even has an mp3 player and radio on it, which came in handy during the storm once the electricity went out. Like I said above, I would not buy one, but I wouldn’t turn it down if it were a gift :-P

2AM Update

Things have been relatively quiet here so far. We have 2 big squalls that should be coming in now to our county as well as the downtown area of Houston. Galvestion is getting tons of rain at the moment as well as some damage to business along The Strand. There were also 4 buildings on fire there a few hours ago and it was startling to watch as the firefighters tried to put them out but the wind was blowing the other way.

I can hear the wind outside of the house now and it’s getting loud and rapid. I can’t tell if it’s raining or not, though I imagine that it is. The local news here has been covering everything for 24 hours for at least 2 days now. The only upside of it is that there are no commercials. The field reporters are definitely brave, I know I wouldn’t want to stand in 60-80 MPH winds and rain.

Hopefully “the worst of it” won’t be too bad around here and hopefully won’t last very long. I’ve got Toby and Koa sleeping here next to me to protect me, so hopefully things will be alright.
