Ahh, weekend.

So, Friday Cynra & I went to Picton for Mater Bitter's birthday. It was at the Inn at Lake on the Mountain, and when we were done, the moon over the lake was quite beautiful. Saturday we spent some time at ACB and then headed home.

Sunday was Motor City Comic Con. I pretty much spent all my time (and money) at two booths: Titan Games (who at this point only had some Mongoose stuff and a copy of the Red Dwarf RPG as well as the Cyberpunk CCG cards prevoiusly mentioned) and a comic booth that had 50% off trades. I got Dead Robin from Gotham Central, Rosario Dawson's Occult Crimes Taskforce, and Marvel's District X book.

Also picked up the Shawn of the Dead TPB, Reinventing Comics and possibly something else.

I'd hoped to pick up a few of the comics tumblers I'd seen the past couple years, but the booth was not there this year. At the very least, I couldn't find it.

Dinner was Mongol BBQ at BD's, and I restrained myself and stayed with two bowls, which meant I did not hurt myself. Yay me!

Today, then, was getting some stuff at the garden store, and then dinner was pizza and now Cynra's watching Dancing with the Stars.

Bill O'Reilly's IE Meltdown, dance remix.

Oh, yeah

Uday had bought a new GPS machine for his camping, and he and I took it on the road for a quick Geocaching session on Saturday. We'd never done it before, and he had not really gone too deep into the manual.

So we did a pretty good job following the general directions, and we knew pretty much where we were going.

At one point we weren't sure if we were on the right side of the river. We switched screens on the GPS and found that we were getting close, and eventually found it before we gave up. It was a pretty simple cache; we didn't take anything, but if I ever get to do it with any regularity I figure I'll put un-needed HeroClix into them.

The cache had actually recently been replaced very recently, as the previous one had been washed away in spring flooding.

Oh, yeah

I got racially profiled at the border. Apparently, of the four of us, I got to be asked a spot quiz on who my favourite Canadian was. I replied "Pierre Trudeau" because he rocks, but still, that's annoying as fuck.

True fact: Upon our return to the country, redeem147 still couldn't decide if her favourite was her dad or Ernie Coombs. Or possibly Tommy Douglas.
