I wouldn’t mind as much if it were actually Wil Wheaton. Oh well, at least my flames got him right after.

A few of us met up at Fogg ‘N’ Suds tonight in Westbank, to just hang out for a while. I had a giant mug of Rickard’s Red. Sure they have beers from all around the world, but my first test there was how big their “big” mug really was.

The hope is that meeting there [...]

We live with a five-year-old, this kind of thing gets watched here regularly.

Team Fortress 2 was released in Beta (very late) today for those of us who have pre-purchased the Orange Box and it’s super fun to play. Like the old TFC, only much much improved.

Also, the retro art-style of it is pretty damn cool.

This afternoon was Karen’s birthday party.

JJ’s far too good at Scrabble. He and Ryan (left) were having their own game for 1st and 2nd place. Meanwhile, Matt’s face in the background is more representative of the game Laura and I were playing against him and his wife Nadine.

The main event of the afternoon was a [...]

Have I mentioned that all our boring (ie, non-valuable) stuff is crammed into the carpark in the back? Many, many boxes of clothes, kitchen wares etc., all under a tarp. It’ll be nice to get our own place where we could put it all… someday.

When we picked up the last of our boxes from Greyhound, [...]

Before dinner tonight, my five-year-old niece decided to dress me and her dad up as fairies. After dinner, we went out into the front yard and played soccer.

I have nothing to talk about today and found this bit about Doctor Who that I meant to write about earlier but couldn’t, for fear of spoiling it for Mike, who hadn’t yet finished the current season.
Sure, Doctor Who is kind of a campy sci-fi show but I really like it. It doesn’t take itself [...]

I like that conversations between Laura, Louise and I go over like ones between friends and not like an adult to people younger than them. Louise seems to welcome our presence as people she can talk to and hang out with in-between all her regular work and household chores.
I also like that my sister isn’t [...]

The Kitchener Superstore spoiled me. It was all brand new and beautiful. Today we went to the Kelowna Superstore and it was very tired and old and ugly. *sigh* Oh well, at least we found these neat liquid mint things to try out:

And yes, that’s all I have to say today.
