Oh boy. I need to get some rest so I can work towards the upcoming man-machine match. It was a fun weekend though. On Friday, Diane and I attended a Games party at Rob's place. It was a lot of fun, as usual. We're particularly fond of parties at his place. His house is ideal for these things. There's tons of room to spread out and play games, and there isn't any pressure to get up and leave quickly since Rob doesn't have kids running around that need to be put to bed. Thanks again for a great party Rob!

On Saturday I felt super lazy and didn't even get out for Soccer (though Diane did for a little bit). Instead, I lazed around home for awhile and attempted to get a little bit of work done (which I actually managed to do!).

On Sunday, I again lazed around the house for awhile. I finished off Super Paper Mario on the Wii finally. It's a pretty fun game, but I somehow got distracted away from it so I hadn't had a chance to polish it off yet. The next game I get will probably be Mario Strikers Charged. Looks like a lot of fun, and the Penny Arcade guys really seemed to like the demo they played.

Anyways, after finishing that off, I went to go meet up with Diane. We walked down to the Legislature grounds to do a quick tour of the activity going on down there and then circled back to join the party at Nolan's place. There was food, beer and good times had by all. Later on, we trotted down to the river valley to catch the fireworks, and I got a few decent shots of the fireworks! Stay tuned to my flickr stream for some of them!

Yesterday, my Mom took us to the Devonian Botanic Garden to wander around in. It's a rather pretty place to go walking around in. I took a ton of pictures, so you'll probably see a lot of those photos turn up in my flickr stream over the next few weeks as well!

I'm exhausted from the weekend, but now I've got to get some work done. So ... time to get at it! I think I'm gonna pick up some coffee on my way in this morning.
