Weekend Fun

I had a great weekend.

Friday night I drank half a bottle of wine while eating tacos and writing Javascript. After two glasses of wine, I had to stop with the Javascript. It’s too hard to write bug-free code after that. I can still work on CSS, though.

Saturday morning I went to Waterloo to hang out with one of my bridesmaids, Kathryn. We just sat around her living room and talked, and then later we hit up a grocery store. She has lost a lot of weight on Weight Watchers and looks absolutely incredible. I haven’t done so well, but I keep trying.

Sunday I went to Toronto and met up with two friends from university, Esther and Natasha. I haven’t seen either of them since graduation, and we had a lot to catch up on. We had a long lunch at a dim sum restaurant, and then wandered around some used book stores downtown (BMV and the World’s Biggest Bookstore) near the Eaton’s Centre. I bought a lot of books:

• Isaac Asimov – Forward The Foundation
• Isaac Asimov – Robots And Empire
• Isaac Asimov – The Robots Of Dawn
• Stephen Hawking – A Brief History Of Time
• Kurt Vonnegut – Slaughterhouse Five
• Kurt Vonnegut – Welcome To The Monkey House
• The Smoothies Bible
• Tipsy Smoothies

The Asimov books are the ones I need to finish up my collections of Robots novels and the Foundation series. I haven’t read any Kurt Vonnegut, and I’ve heard lots of good things about his writing, and the Smoothies books are for my wedding, as we’re having make your own smoothies (including booze!). We wandered around downtown, and just sat around in Nathan Phillips Square for a while. It was a lot of fun. I picked Alan up at the airport on my way home and he told me all about ACen, and then I fell asleep soon after we got home.

It was a great weekend.
