Simon's poker night was quite enjoyable. Met Leigh again (I know the spelling is wrong, I just don't know what it really is, but I know it has at least one 'h' in it) again, had seen her at a Unix Unanimous meeting once, but we never talked. Sarah (another of Simon's friends) was also ...

As noted in the last post, I wasn't really thrilled with the idea of seeing Star Wars III (trust issues after being scr*w*d over on I and II). So when I got to the theatre and it didn't show up on the playbill I wasn't exactly crying in my beer :) . Turns out that ...

Shademan just called, he's running late, so I'll have to get down to Young and Bloor on my own, which means I have to leave a bit earlier. Oh well, at least I won't need to type while I'm down there :) .

Got the new video card for Delcina's computer. Installed it and finally logged onto the machine. Thing was in rather rough shape; Norton AV with the subscription long-since expired, half a dozen questionable IE plugins, something that was taking over the IE executable, suspicious-looking card-games, and 79 trojan horse programs installed.

Yet pause and breath
You may find the hint of friendship
On chance's gentle breeze

I'd thought I'd drunk my fill
Of the shy, retiring pools
Yet when I stumble on another
I find my thirst renewed

Too easy to mistake
With arrows flitting past my chair
To whom the point is meant

Shane discovered a rather beautiful and talented lady this evening. He pulled her over to our table at the cafe (she'd just been walking by, he does have a bit of a gift). After that Alex (a friend of Shane's and someone Rose knows) dropped in, then Michelle and Lara, and finally Dan dropped in ...
