eveglassSo, a long but good day. Started by heading out to Eric's to watch Babylon 5 and play Civ with him and Jing. In terms of B5, the Earth civil war is well underway and the Minbari civil war is over. One of my favourite episodes today, of Sheridan being sneaky. ("I repeat, nothing happened. Please remain calm.")
Then off to dinner with my mom's family, including some out of town relatives, and Marc. Chinese food. There was a bit of drama as we tried to figure out a table that was both acceptable and big enough for 14 people, but it all worked out in the end. As an added bonus, it looks like I've got leftovers for at least a few lunches this week. Yay for leftovers.
From dinner, my aunt and uncle kindly gave us a lift back to Marc's place, where we hung out for a while before heading over to Chris's birthday party. I was there for about 15 minutes before the following exchange took place:
Me: *sneeze sneeze sneeze*
Hooper: Oh, yeah. I forgot you were allergic.
Me: Wait, what?
Hooper: Chris has a cat.
Me: [insert expletive here]
So I took an antihistamine (which really should have been taken 45 minutes before reaching Chris's place) and hung out on the balcony for a while, followed by hanging out in the hallway outside Chris's apartment for a while as people decided to go smoke on the balcony. I'm very, very grateful for my new ipod and for video podcasts. Came inside for another 10 minutes before deciding this was a Bad Plan (tm) and chose to leave before my lungs stopped working.
On the other hand, catching up with friends I haven't seen in 6 months or more was... eye-opening. Friend A is moving to California for grad school. Friend B has moved back to Montreal. Friend C is pregnant. Crazy!
Many thanks to the people who replied to my camera post. I think I'm going to go with the A1000 instead of the A1100. The differences are not worth $80, I don't think.
Anyway, now I'm home and I'm not setting my alarm for tomorrow either. So there. G'night all.
