The Weekend...

Friday: Went home, Mar was sick, so we went to the walk-in clinic to see about getting her some medicine. We got there shortly after it opened, so it was only a 2 hr wait, where-in i got some reading done. After the doctor told Mar she wasn't sick enough to get anything we went home and relaxed.

Saturday: Mar was way to sick to go shopping with her sister in the states, so we slept in. I mowed lawn, then we went shopping. Mar was feeling quite ill so she went to bed early and i stayed up and watched ultraviolet, which was ok, not as good as i was hoping.

Sunday: Slept in again. Mar was feeling worse but was now taking medicine she'd gotten on saturday. We did our groccery shopping, and a few more things around the house. Then we watched Lucky Number Slevin, quite good.

Last Night...

Went home, read. Bbq'd up some supper. Called my parents, helped my dad figure out how to hook his computer up to the projector using an s-video cable. He'd never used the s-video output on his card before, so it was just a matter of turning on some options. Then i read a bit more, started to work out, but got distracted, so i just watched some tv and went to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, read. Bbq'd some chicken, almost got done before it started raining. Cleaned up then Mar's sister and nephew came over again to drop off some pictures. Read some more, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

After dinner I headed to my sisters place to get ready for baseball only to realize I forgot my glove.

Sunday was spent doing random fathers day things including a bbque at my cousins. Afterwards I headed to Spicoli's for the usual Sunday night weekend wrap up.

We arrived at about 11pm, Danny was the only one left at the appartment. Then we watched a version of the Libertine that was possibly an edited screener, then went to bed.

Saturday: Slept in, found out we were supposed to go to the graduation party in Barry a little earlier than we expected, since we had to bring a stereo. Went to the party, it was nice, good food. We got to meet the people's dog, who was around the size of a pony, huge. After watching the last couple periods of the oilers game, we headed back to TO. We then watched Running Scared, good movie, nice and violent, kind of a mix between sin city and kill bill, i guess.

Sunday: Got up, our friends got back into town after cleaning up from the party. We packed up and headed back home. We stopped by both our parents' places before eventually heading back home, unpacking and relaxing for the evening.

The Last Couple Nights

Wednesday night I played soccer after work for a couple hours with some friends. After soccer we all headed back to my sisters place to watch the hockey game and have some dinner.

Thursday night we got back from Scarbourough around 9:30 at which point I was absolutely exhausted so I opted to just return home and try for a good nights sleep. I watched some basketball and a bit of the daily show before I eventually fell asleep.

Last Night...

Went home, bbq'd. Went to futureshop to pick up a 200 pack of dvds as they were on sale and i was almost out, hopefully they won't produce too many coasters. Then came home, had a look at an old filing cabinet my sister is taking. Someone had bent the locking mechanism so that it was at a 90 degree angle from where it should have been. So i worked on bending that back, and fashioning up a gheto temporary latch to allow it to open. Then watched the end of the oilers game, a bit of the daily show and the colbert report and went to bed.

Afterwards a few of us stuck around for drinks at Stanley's. Once that party started to wrap up I headed to Cramdon's where I was joined by a few remaining members of the baseball team along with some other friends who were also at Cramdon's.

Then grabbed some tool and headed back to pick up a couple desktops and drawers i was offered, since they were just throwing them away. Although i ended up picking up one set of drawers that didn't fit together. Went home again, did a little computer maintinance, then played on the ps2 for about 20 minutes until Mar came back. We watched tv and went to bed.

Last Night

After work I picked up my sister and Grandma and proceeded to my Aunts house. From there it was off to pick up a bed and dresser from my cousins (the dresser was going back to my aunts house, and my sister was keeping the bed).

Once all that wrapped up I turned down a free dinner in an effort to get to baseball practice for a bit (secretly hoping to show up when they were finishing practice). After practicing for about an hour or so a few of us headed to Cramdon's for a drink and some food.

To finish up the evening I headed to the Brick House with a few other people from the baseball team. From there is was time the head home to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, the parents were coming over to bring some stuff. So i quickly removed the stone from around a dead bush in the front. Then we ate dinner. The parents arrived, brought a small lawn roller i fixed up, then we hooked a chain on the bush and pulled it out with their truck. Sat around for a while chatting. Then they left, i finished up Mar's office door, then made her old door into a table using some boards and a set of legs. By that time it was about 11:30, so we watched the colbert report and went to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, read, bbq'd myself some food. Finished the book i was reading. Got out of working on making the new door to Mar's office since she went to bed early, and the sound of the router would have been too loud for her to sleep. Worked on the computer a bit and also went to bed.

Tuesday, June 06, 2006

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate outside on our patio. Tried to put some heat back into my body from 9 hrs of sub-arctic temperatures at work. Worked on measuring the house and trying to figure out elavation and stairwells on the architect program. Watched the end of the hockey game and went to bed. Couldn't sleep and now i'm sitting at work as it gets colder and colder.

Last Night

After work I headed home, ate dinner and spent the remainder of the evening trying to diagnose the cause of our internet problems at home. It turned out to be a gateway setting that Windows wasn't properly assigning. Once I made all the settings manually things started to work much better. Once I got that sorted out I watched the end of the hockey game and went to bed.

Weekend Update

Friday: Went downtown for my friend's birthday and consumed large quantities of alcohol. Details somewhat blurry.

Saturday: Woke up around noon, spent the afternoon doing nothing, then got a ride to the west side to pick up my car and went grocery shopping. After that I went over to my parent's place and had a couple friends over to use the BBQ so it didn't seize up.

Sunday: Slept in again, went golfing with representatives from IT and SCIS. Got home around 10:00 Janet came over and we watched X-Men 2.

The Weekend

Friday night included Cramdon's, Brews & Cues, Tom Fooleries, and finally a stop downtown at Tree House. Eventually I made it home for a few hours of sleep.

Saturday started out with a trip into work to do some testing for a few hours. Once that wrapped up I headed to the mall to catch up with my cousin for a bit. Later in the afternoon Gino met up with me at Moxies for a bit. Following Moxies I headed to a bbque at Rob's place. Later in the evening we partied at Brians and headed downtown.

The Weekend...

Friday: Ended up just staying home, taking it easy. We watched the movie grandma's boy, very funny. Then headed to bed at a decent hour.

Finally a break arose in the weather long enough to get out and mow the back lawn. Just as i was finishing the rain started up again. We went out for swish chalet, then came home. Mar's sister and nephew joined us for a while. Then a couple of my friends from toronto who were in town dropped by for a visit.

Last couple days

After work Wednesday I headed up to TO with Virginia for the CSIO workshop. Once we arrived we checked into the hotel then decided to go looking for a gas station since I wasn't certain we could make it back to the highway on the little fuel that was remaining. After that we headed back to the hotel to park the car. We then headed to the Eaton centre for dinner in the food court. After dinner we contemplated going for drinks but opted to just return to our rooms to watch the basketball game before heading to bed. Thursday was the CSIO workshop all day which was quite informative, and a bit lengthy (mainly because certain participants felt the need to question everything possible). After the workshop we hung around city hall while we waited for Jackie to finish work so she could catch a ride home with us. Once we returned to Windsor I dropped off Vriginia and headed to the Brick House to meet up with everyone else for a couple drinks before heading home to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Put up new blinds in Mar's office. Although i'm not really satisfied with the way they are mounted as the mounting brackets weren't meant for the only way we could put it up there. So i may have to "adjust" them. Then watched some tv and went to bed.

Thursday, June 01, 2006

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Finished up some sanding on some drywall patches, then Mar painted them. A couple of Mar's relatives came over for a short visit. Then we watched a bit of tv and went to bed.
