Shaun's birthday was on Saturday, I met up with him, James, Cam, Joelle, and some guy whose name I forget at the Westsyder. After that we went back to James' house where we chilled out for a bit, and we all agreed that Shaun was nowhere NEAR drunk enough. Cam and I tried to correct this by placing a plastic lizard on his shoulder and ruling that any time it fell off, he would have to chug whatever he was drinking. It fell off once.

At like 3:30 AM we left and dropped off Cam, and then instead of going home we decided to go - where else! - to Denny's. As we waited for our food (this was around 4 AM now) we talked briefly about where we thought we'd be in a year from now, in 2007.

Then we turned to where we were a year ago. Shaun jokingly said that a year ago, we had probably been at Denny's. After a moment of recollection, he blurted out "We were! We WERE at Denny's!" and we realized that sadly yes, I had come into Calgary last year at this time and that night in the wee hours of the morning, we had actually been sitting in Denny's just like we were now a year later. The knowledge was strange and a little disturbing.

The next day I ran a few errands, including going up to Superstore to deposit some checks. However once I was at the machine, I realized I had forgotten the checks. So rather than waste the trip up there, Jamie and I decided to wander around Superstore and see what there was. I found a giant Darth Vader bank for $20, which actually looked very cool and would be decent thing to have on a shelf. Then I saw it had a PRESS HERE button so I pressed it, and the Star Wars ominous music (Imperial March music? I dunno, I'm not that much of a dork) ERUPTS out. DAH DAH DAH, DAH DAH DAH! DAH DA DAH, DA! And Vader's moving around, then he goes "IMPRESSIVE!" and waves his little lightsaber around. Obviously, I bought it, and it now stands on my TV. I'm occasionally overcome with the urge to reach up and press it and revel in his majesty.

And speaking of majesty, last week it was Trogday, the third birthday of the burninator himself, Trogdor. I SAID CONSUMMATE V'S!

I just noticed my referrals have been interesting lately. Here's the latest ways people have stumbled across my site:
