So, funny story, at least in my opinion. In my office, we're starting a shared mp3 folder, and one of my coworkers has some music from a Japanese cartoon. So, we're listening to the song, and I'm getting into it cuz it's friday, and I like japanese music. Now, my office is joint with another company, soI look over and a guy from the other company is giving me this look like "this is the worse crap I've ever heard in my life". So he comes over and says, "I'm as multicultural as the next guy, but we're gonna have to do something about the music around here". So that probably wasn't funny, but it was funny at the time, and it's friday and I'm looking forward to a weekend of Wonderland and volleyball.

Well, the other night I had dinner with some highschool friends after work. I'm starting to feel very grown up, having dinner down town after work. It was fun, we went to Marche's at BCE place. I had the half chicken dinner which was good. After Marche's, we went over to McDonalds to fill up on McChicken sandwiches and save some cash... I guess I'm still not so grown up afterall, it's nice that some things stay the same....
Got home and played a little warcraft with Dwight. They reset the ladder for warcraft, and we were ranked 188th in all of eastern North America for 2v2 arranged teams. We had a losing night, but the whole new ladder thing is pretty exciting.

Well, i had a pretty fun wknd... i guess it started on friday night when me, neeta and ryan went out for dinner and a movie. we went to a japanese tempanyaki place, the food was good, but kinda pricey. after the movie, we watched "Flight Plan" which was one of the crappiest movies ever. The movie was so cheesey and sappy, it serisously had me and Neeta laughing uncontrolably throughout the movie. I also got to see Neeta's new place, pretty nice, amazing location.
On saturday, i watched the Davis cup with a couple of friends. A really good match! we watched doubles champions Nester and Neidemeier beat team Belarus 3 sets to 2... an impressive match... i think the match has inspired me to become the next Canadian champion... we'll see how that turns out. After the match, we went over to my place to hang and watch a movie.
Sunday, i took what i learned on saturday and brought it to the tennis courts. Me and some friends played a good game of tennis... was fun, but i still got a ways to go from becoming the Canadian champion. In the evening, we had a family get together since my cousin's back for a week from her trip to England. Some good food, fun games, and about a billion pictures from Asia and Europe. It was really nice getting everyone together, and seeing Flora again. She won't be back again until the summer, and i'm really gonna miss her. Hopefully i'll get to see her again before she leaves.

So, this weekend I went to Waterloo to visit my workout/warcraft buddy Dwight. And as you can expect, that's literally pretty much all we did for the entire weekend. I didn't know it was humanly possible to workout and play that much warcraft in such a short period of time. We worked out 3 times and went up 4 levels in warcraft in the span of 1.5 days. It was seriously the most physically and mentally demanding weekend of my life. To those who don't know me and Dwight, it must seem like the most pathetic weekend ever. But in all seriousness, there's probably nothing more I would have rather done this weekend. We also ate like monsters which also made me happy.
I got back on Sunday afternoon, just in time for my company bbq. It was a really good time. It was the first company get together, and it really made me feel like a part of a team. Good food and good conversation and new company t-shirts brought everyone closer together.

So, yesterday was a fun night. The "Niagra Crew" got together for some dessert at Dimetries. Good times. We discussed who of us from Waterloo was truly the biggest geek, and looked back on the "good old days" from when we were still in university.
So, I came to the realization with Neeta yesterday that people are really starting to believe that I am a complete moron. I used to think people were just playing around with me, but I'm starting to think that people really believe I have a below average IQ. I used to believe that in today's society, holding a degree from one of the most prestigious technical universities in Canada was enough to prove one's worth. But apparently I was wrong, the ability to post a blog is what truly separates the men from the neanderthals. I will ponder this new realization of mine further at work...
