Not much written. But that was because…

Much time spent with family. Especially extended family, where we discussed how nice it was that second cousins could hang out with one another and have a good time and keep a sense of family about us, even spread all over the place. Not everyone was able to come that we would have liked to see, but Sunday featured around 60 people.

One XBox 360 acquired. A friend made a rather misguided wager, and rather than wait until March for the bet to play out, he simply paid out this week, and handed off a bunch of loaner games for me to get acquainted with the system. (He, of course, bought the new slim version, so this one was surplus to needs.) I would not have lost the bet–but spiting him and getting an XBox in the bargain certainly made it sweeter. Let me know if you want my gamertag, and I’ll e-mail you.

Not-quite-dayjob project completed. I don’t talk much about work, or the paying stuff I do outside of work, but I finished up a rather annoying task this weekend, which I’m glad to be done with. Not that I don’t like the work or the money it brings, but it now occurs to me that I need some better hardware. Better hardware makes projects go better.

Too much food eaten. See point two.

Not-quite-dayjob new projects received. Time to look into better hardware!

House guest acquired. Periodically my littlest brother–working on his PhD at UChicago–will come and stay with us for a few days to a couple of weeks in between quarters. Such is the time we’re in and such is his newfound presence on my couch. We do like having him around, though it tends to mean our fridge empties a little more quickly. Then again, he also tends to consume that stuff at the back of the cupboard that isn’t quite expired, but that we probably won’t find an appetite for before it does.

Plenty of fun had. Nice weekend, good times, but glad to be back home and doing a lot of the other stuff that I enjoy.
