longest running (least read) weekend update on the internets

This weekend was pretty busy but good.

On Friday Leah camped out at the geek-fest Long and Mcquade sale to pick me up a Boss RC2 looping pedal. I have used it a bit, and it is pretty fun. She was the only girl waiting in line, although I'm guessing she didn't have the longest hair...

On Saturday, I went to get a haircut, and then stopped by Honest Ed's Funhouse for some tasty paint stripper. I managed to make some good progress on the front door, which is close to being ready to sand and varnish. D&J came over for dinner, and D managed to almost die of cat allergy.

On Sunday I went on an adventure that I have been putting off for a while. We sort of need a new computer. Our previous desktop has served us excellently (it is going on 6 years old, which is like 200 in computer years...), but with Leah in school it made some serious sense to jump on the tiny laptop bandwagon. I hate having to buy technology things when I feel inadequately informed to make a good decision - but after a bit of biking around and talking to about 300 computer guys, I scored a shiny new ACER netbook. It only took me the rest of the afternoon to uninstall all the useless clutter and strip it down to a browser+media player machine... (although somehow I can't seem to get rid of Windows Movie editor???).

ANYWAY. Church was pretty good. And that was the most geeked-out weekend ever...

July 4th 1923 - September 15th 2009

Drinking in L.A.

Last week Leah and I went to Los Angeles for my brother's wedding. Today I feel sort of like I've been kicked in the head. Getting up at 7 in Toronto is like getting up at 4 in California. Also, going to work after a week off is extra fun.

Anyway. It was a great Hunter gathering, and the time went by too fast. Delvyn and Charity had a super-awesome wedding. We went to Disneyland, the beach, In-N-Out Burger, Hollywood Blvd, Sprinkles Cupcakes, Rodeo Drive, and a gun store...

weekend

It was a long one...

Friday afternoon - we did a whole lot of laundry. That evening we fired up the barbecue, and J&D&K came over.

We went over to A&E's a few times, to feed their cats. While we were there, we tried running through some old songs. The neighbours couldn't handle it though, so we stopped.

After church, we went to the Woods' place, for another barbecue.

On Monday, we celebrated Leah's birthday by going to the airshow and getting sunburned. Wicked farmer's tan.
