An exciting weekend
17 years ago
Well it's been pretty crazy for me the past couple of weeks. Work was intense, a lot of new stuff I had to learn, magnetic separation, proper decanting technique, dealing with annoying people etc.
But this past weekend was rockin'. After my old DVD player crapped out on me (it was like 8 years old, one of the first ones ever), I got myself a new home entertainment system with a subwoofer and the five speaker deal. Decent price too, maybe four or five hundo.
I also took my G2 drivers test which I had been putting off for like the past 5 years because I hate driving. Passed no problem, now I just have to get my G and it'll be all good. But there's no rush, the G2 lasts another 5 years and it allows me to buy my own car.
Finally, managed to check out Doors Open Toronto again... which was nice because it's been four months since I've been back home. It was cool to see the old place... still, Lakefield is pretty much my home now and I sure as hell didn't miss the noise.
So I checked out the CBC building like I wanted for the past two years but couldn't because we ran out of time. The tour was lackluster up until we saw their mobile units. They had a camera set up outside which was recording inside the mobile truck. It was a pretty sweet camera too, very smooth, very steady, great zoom capability.
Finally, I managed to catch Indy IV while I was in town. It was alright, a solid film, I had my gripes though, being the detail guy I am... not enough character development, plus the whole alien angle was a bit out there. I half-expected Mulder and Scully to show up.
Ah well, it was worth the price of admission.
Now I'm tired and I'm going to get as much sleep as I can before I have to go to crappy old work again. :)
