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

“We were addicted to the intensity of our hunger—the almost limitless depths of it—and to the certitude that we were needed, that we were vital.  Such a feeling is not as wonderful as the condition of being loved, but it is similar, with its dependencies, and far more reliable.”

...who said it?

“When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.”

...who said it?

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”

...who said it?

“Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart”

...who said it?

: “If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.”

...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.
