Quick life update

In order to keep from missing a day in my promised at-least-a-post-a-day month of May, here’s a quick update on how my weekend has gone.

Visited Sara’s mother’s yesterday, for lasagna, with a full house of folks partaking. I walked away with a Wii game borrowed from Sam, Sara’s sister — Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It’s a strategy RPG along the lines of Final Fantasy Tactics or Ogre Battle. Played it a bit last night and a bit more today, and while it’s horribly unforgiving, even on Easy (if you lose any unit in the first few fights at least, it’s instant game over), it pales in comparison with FFT or Ogre Battle with respect to the depth of the engine itself. So it’s a bit of a disappointment so far, but I’ll probably keep playing and see if it grows on me.

I’ll be going to see Star Trek tonight at 9 — can’t wait. Sara and Mark will be going too, so I anticipate we’ll probably stop someplace and chat about it for a bit afterward. The free tickets I got (obtained using points accumulated on my credit card rewards program), include popcorn and drinks, but we went to Bulk Barn and got a stash of candy anyway. Abby has forewarned me not to drink too much while watching it, because during the last half hour I won’t want to leave to hit the can, so forewarned is forearmed.

I plan on spending the next hour before we leave working on the (what’s turning out to be massive) post about the current NS election and breakdown of our riding. I’m sure the effort I’m putting into this thing is inversely proportional to the interest anyone’s taking in it — nobody around here seems to care that there’s an election on, and those that do already have signs out front for their chosen parties, so I’m anticipating there are a lot of party line voters around.

So hopefully I’ll be posting my thoughts on Star Trek and possibly completing that election blog tomorrow, plus whatever random crap I find on the intertubes as usual.

    While we were at the cinema I wondered to myself what the people near by must have thought of all my girlish squeals of delight…

    I want to see it again so bad. Can’t wait for the drive-in to have it!!!111eleventy
