pphaneuf | We're having a knee orgy!

Sunday,

azrhey and I went and had dim sum with

kyotto and a few other people that I don't really know. Now, dim sum aren't really my favourite thing, and I usually go there for the company, but most of the people I knew that were supposed to come didn't after all. Did see

kyotto, of course, but didn't get to interact much with her. Sounded promising, but oh well, maybe better next time!

Then, with the usually loose plans that I am known, loved and hated for (love, hate, aren't they almost the same anyway?),

azrhey tried to get together with

elliptic_curve for some of that scheduled slutty talk. Of course, that didn't exactly work out anywhere close to how I thought it could have. Not that I had put much thought into it anyway...

So after some coffee, there was some shopping for clothes (of the more "hey, that looks cool, let's check that out" walking in front of a store than "let's go shopping" type), and scored myself a nice shirt. This was then followed by some shopping for a portable music player.

azrhey scored herself a nice little Samsung YP-MT6X, while I decided to hold out and check the buzz on the Internet for Ogg Vorbis support, as this is very important to me. For those who wonder, as I mentioned getting a Treo 650, I think I'll pass, as I was mostly using my Palm for calendaring (which I have one in my phone), music, to-do and notes (which I can easily do with a pen and paper that I carry in my bag anyway). So I decided I'd just plug the remaining hole of the music player, it's still a fair chunk cheaper.

But then, we followed this up by going to Compusmart to check out the Apple laptops. I was thinking of going easy and just getting an iBook, but the PowerBook aren't that much more expensive (especially as I'd like to get the small 12" one) and look much better (lighter, seems sturdier, faster processor, can have the DVD burner on the 12" one, bigger hard drive, better video card) for not-stupidly-more money.

We then went and watched Les Poupées russes, which is the sequel to the excellent L'Auberge espagnole. It was very good, a solid follow-up, enough that it could stand by itself, but with the basis of the first movie, just shoots off, adding even more facets to some characters that we already know a bit, only to find that they have changed a bit in that time. It was great cinema. Plus, there was a good soundtrack, nice girl on girl action, and Kelly Reilly is quite hot.

Then, after some non-clever taxi management on my part (but good "knowing the neighborhood", where I once lived in, of course!),

elliptic_curve and James were picked up for dinner at a nice portuguese restaurant. Much fun was had, the slutty talk was up to my expectations, a knee orgy was even had (started by James!), my arse was grabbed abundantly by everyone, and eggs were consumed with extreme pleasure. I could provide a quote from the evening, but as children might be reading this... ;-)

We then invaded

sfllaw's and

mricon's flat for good old talking and going through

elliptic_curve's books. Headed back to my place, where we ended up watching Empire Records, which is rather silly and cheesy, but has a good soundtrack, as well as Liv Tyler's mid-section. And too much sugar.

My day today was rather, hmm... Unsatisfying. Worked to make up some hours for a day later this week when I'll be out of town, but didn't seem to manage getting much done. Went to the restaurant with

jimmysworld,

cpirate and mrwise (who wasn't so wise, as is usually the case with him at restaurants), who went there to watch a hockey game. I figured I'd eat and then head home, as I had to eat anyway, right? Except the service was so ludicrously slow that I was there for almost the whole game anyway. Well done.

Did get myself a MPIO FY600, the 512 megs model. After having had some issues playing Ogg Vorbis files with

azrhey's player, I was a bit horrified to have it play the same folder I tried on her player as half a second burst of static. Turns out it just doesn't like pre-release versions of the encoder (that was an old rip I had lying about at the office), but with the AoTuV I now use, it's happy.
