A couple things to talk about, and as always, I know I have other things to talk about and have a list somewhere around here, but I can’t find that list and forget what I wanted to mention it because I didn’t write it down…so that will be content for next time!
Anyway, I keep forgetting to mention, when I came back from camp (when I went to West Penn and Millvale), there was a big accident on the Parkway right under the Garden City Bridge. Luckily (almost) we got there and it was moving. We got up to the accident and then were stopped for about 15 minutes. And as much as it sucked to be stopped, we at least had front row seats. A piece of construction equipment had fallen off of a trailer and caused the accident, back-up and gouges in the road. One of the cool things though was the neighborhood kids (and adults) gathered on the bridge to watch what was going on.
A friend (thanks Steve!) sent me "From Myst to Riven." It’s a book about the development of Riven, the process and a lot of artwork. The book itself it huge, I always thought it was physically a lot smaller! I’m really enjoying it, I’ll be putting up a review when I finish up.
Alberto Gonzales is resigning! To quote John Stewart, I really do hope that this helps to clear up the "memory herpes" that seems to be plaguing the administration. It is nice though to see both parties (minus the executive branch) agree on something and work together.
My birthday was nice, thank you to everyone for the cards and well-wishes! We had a nice dinner with family and ended up playing games of Munchkin and Fluxx while watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And as always, the quest for a cool pillow continues (I’m trying to find a pillow that stays cool, even as you have your head on it). I got one, and it’s cooler than other pillows, but still warms up, but it’s very comfortable and I like it!
I think that’s it for now (barring what I’ve forgotten), so I will catch everyone later!
