Belated 2006 summary.

I've had wonky internet access for awhile, so now that I have a decent connection it's time for some catch-up.

I spent New Year's Eve with Chris and Carla (Lisa went to the wedding reception) and we watched cartoons, movies and ate snacks courtesy of Carla. I had a lovely time.

We got back from Victoria last night. Nothing too big, we just hung out and exchanged presents. My mom rented a half-hour trip on a horse carriage for us through James Bay, Victoria's oldest neighbourhood. We thought it was fabulous. The driver told us about some of the architectural curiosities in the area, and the weather was perfect - a little breeze and a little sun. Hearing the rhythmic clip-clopping of the horse's hooves as we cruised through the serene streets was a great way to say good-bye to the Island for six months.

I just finished writing a make-up exam. I did okay.

Carla asked me what my highlights were for 2006. I initially said "nothing," then made a few remarks afterwards. Now that I've thought about it, I came up with a much more comprehensive list:

1. My 30th birthday party, sans head injury.
2. Gaming with friends and trying to get a gaming crew together.
3. Seeing friends get married.
4. Spending time with Lisa.
5. Getting a form letter from the English department asking me to be an English major. They liked my grades.
6. Moving out of our God-forsaken house.
7. Being accepted to the University of Ljubljana.

Ah hell, there's probably more but I'm stuck for ideas. Overall, a fine year. Lots of adventure and experimentation, I met new people and continued to stay close to old friends. You've all been great, you know that?

Alright, see you when I see you.

I had a good time on New Years, too.

Inceidentally, if I don't get to see you guys before you go, you won't get to see the documentary I'm downloading right now: Zidane (A 21st Century Portrait). That's right--a full 90 minute football match from Zidane's perspective, with an original soundtrack by Mogwai. I mean, c'mon--with a concept like that, it's just gotta be amazing.

Dude, that's awesome! But, wouldn't every scene consist of some football player getting clocked in the head with the camera?

Yeah, I called you yesterday, and I'll try again tonight when I get back.
