A large gaggle of people came over last night for what turned into a rather larger gathering than I’d initially planned.  We ate Eatery sushi from the ‘00s, played some magic from the ‘90s, listened to music from the ‘80s, and we’re all from the ‘70s.

I should point out that Rob was the big winner of the tournament and I was the loser to the loser to the loser to the loser to Rob.  ouch.

The rest of the weekend stretches out ahead of me as formless and empty as summer vacation did when I was 12.  I might not have to work until WEDNESDAY MORNING.  I can’t even conceive of such a thing.

Meanwhile, I’m reading a zillion blog posts from Gnomedex and I don’t feel at all bad about not going.  Though it looks like good fun, I’m going to be having a good weekend here.

Hey, did you know I can jump real high sometimes?

Lastly, I’m trying to find a good dentist in Vancouver.  Monique told me hers was good, but I’m open to recommendations.

Overheard

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?

“ . . . the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”

...who said it?

It was indeed a fabulous party. Thanks, Trav!

Oh, and I enjoy my dentist and his staff quite a bit. As long as you're prepared to take his recommendations for oral surgery with a grain of salt! Dunsmuir Dental Group - 604-681-6699.
