Once again it seems I've let my blogging updates lapse.
So now I'm 25. 24 was a pretty good age, we'll see what this next age brings.
Not much to write about this weekend, it's been sorta slow. Yesterday was the family birthday thing, where I received some gifts and assembled a bbq. Then enjoyed the fruits of my labour by eating some tasty bbq salmon. The man in the foreground is my dad, not me. I'm hiding behind the partly-assembled contraption.
Saturday night I headed over to Nadine's place, where upon I was presented with her birthday gift for me, this very neat looking book that I had noticed at McNally Robinson some days earlier. Hooray for observant friends!
Yay Edmonton! They won both games in California, and head back to the Rexall Place in Edmonton (I wonder if there's a pharmacy in the arena) for their next two games. The Ducks have an utterly horrible record in Edmonton, something along the lines of 19 losses inthe last 20 games played there. I won't mention the word (#2) for fear of a jinx.

As a sidebar, I'm very happy with these Energizer rechargable batteries I purchased some months back for my digital camera. Buying and using those super-expensive lithium batteries was silly. Though they did last longer than these rechargable ones on a single charge, so if I were going to be away from an outlet I'd use those.

    I adore your profile picture for blogger. I have several pictures like that of my shoe.

    Family birthday? Hm, sounds like good clean fun. BBQs are great, especially this close to the summer.

    I have rechargables for my camera as well, I don't know what I would do without them.

    Have a good weekend :)

    Happy belated birthday! Welcome to your quarter-century year!

    I'm a fan of the engergizer lithium's when I'm travelling because they're good and I don't have to worry about outlets.

    I was burned badly when I bought super super super crappy duracell rechargables so I've been skeptical of all recharagables since then. Hmm, I'll have to live vicaraiously through your rechargables, and then maybe I'll get those.

    My word verif = ouchfay.
