Recap of my birthday, yesterday.
I woke up and read Vero's card (she WARNED me to only read it on that day, not the night before) which said to get the bike ready to go have breakfast in Canmore. Cool.
We left around 8:30, got there around 9:30. For some reason, which the waitress couldn't explain either, the town was dead. Nobody in the streets, restaurant completely empty. On a Saturday. I guess there was a big party the night before and we weren't invited...
After eating, we rode back home.
Then Vero told me about the next phase of the day: shopping. She had to tell me because she doesn't really know where to shop for iPod Shuffles (the 512Mb version). Woot! I've been asking for this thing for so long but couldn't really justify the expense... this is strickly a gadget, for fun, but I promise I will make good use of it!
We thus proceeded to walk around a bunch of electronic shops, checking out speakers and TVs and digital cameras and Vero did not complain once about how boring the whole process was. It IS my birthday!
If anyone out there is interested: Apple has a SRP on these things and everybody sells them for the same price, so buy it wherever it's more convenient.
I also got an armband for when I go jogging.
Then we came back home. The day was hot and the "next phase" was in a little over a couple of hours so she offered we go play mini-golf (which was the original plan) or do something else. We watched Buckaroo Banzai, in English, instead. It was cooler in the house anyway.
Then off to diner at -- where else but -- Saltlik. Man I love that restaurant.
After diner we played a round of mini-golf. Evidently I need some time to get used to this old age because Vero, who has been practicing this age for a little while, beat me. By five shots. Though to be fair, we both sucked... but it was a lot of fun and that's all that matters in the end.
Back home, around 9pm, we weren't really in the mood to sleep so we watched Ghostbusters 1, in French. Ah! I forgot how good (and bad!) that movie is.
Today, yet one day older, I get to write it with my iPod Shuffle at my arm (for no other reason than to play with the thing). I managed to fit the entire Barenaked Ladies collection, minus the duplicate songs; all 89 songs in CD quality (which is overkill to begin with).
Thank you Vero for a great day!
And a VERY BIG THANK YOU to everyone that called, most of whom I missed because we weren't in the house. I got your messages! Thank you!
