Last Tuesday I went to my first ever LOSURS meeting, and it was about what I expected. There were about a dozen of us in a room speaking binary for a couple hours, which for geeks like me is a good time, I guess. I was pretty disappointed that the planned talk on MythTV didn't happen, since I'm thinking about building just such a system, but I still learned a lot and have signed up to be a regular member.

The next morning I took my car to work and drove down to our head office to enjoy a fantastic breakfast filled with French cuisine in support of our office's United Way campaign. Mmmm....

That Thursday we played what was probably our last game of outdoor soccer for the season. I am hoping we get a regular indoor game of some type going, because team sports sure beats other forms of exercise.

On Friday I played hockey and noticed a marked improvement in my play. I feel like I'm back to the point where I can actually play instead of just skating around. That afternoon I went to the Broken Rack for a pool night organized by CSSS and CIPS Regina. I had a good time playing some pool and meeting some people, but then me and my buddy Mark from work decided it was time to relocate. We made our way to the Freehouse for a few hours and then capped the night off at O'Hanlon's. I spent WAY too much money and drank WAY too much, but had a fantastic time otherwise - or rather, because of it :)

Saturday was recovery mode, but it was also a pretty good day. I slept in and then filled the rest of my day with sports. I watched the Riders lose, watched some of the Habs game, Sofi and I went to the Pats game, and then I played hockey that night. Pretty much the perfect day :)

On Sunday I got up early to watch Napoleon Dynamite, and honestly, I was disappointed. It was more of a "quirky" movie than a funny one. I had heard so many good things I guess I just expected too much :( I spent the rest of my day punishing myself for my behaviour over the weekend by cleaning the house and catching up on work.

This week was a pretty busy one. I had a conference call pretty late on Monday and later watched RAW, which was pretty good except for the ridiculous quality of the announcing - anybody interested in watching the PPV in a few weeks? On Tuesday I went to a CIPS luncheon and then played basketball before my (brief, and in the parking lot because nobody had any keys) union meeting that night. I had even more CIPS stuff to do on Wednesday but I got lunch paid for so that made it all right :)

This weekend I am planning on laying low. I've got some studying to do for an upcoming exam. I am playing hockey on Friday and Saturday. I am also going to the last Rider game of the season on Sunday. That's enough for me, I think :)
