The Occasional Solipsist

So I went to a LAN party last night at a friend's place, and had a really great time. The friend was a guy I used to work with at business name removed whom I hadn't seen in a few months. Worked with his brother there too; he was also in attendance last night, along with a couple of other guys.

The game was Unreal Tournament 2003, and if you can't tell by the shitty picture my camera phone took (not you'll note, the shitty pic I took with my camera phone - subtle difference), I won at least one round. In fact I think it was three, but nobody but me was counting. There were a few grumblings from the gallery, something about how I shouldn't have practiced first. But that was mostly Parksy and nobody listens to him anyway. :]

Anyway, it was fun because it was nice to hang out with a group of fellow geeks. Both the brothers are pretty hard core computer guys; one is an IT Manager and the other does tech support for the MTO. Nice to be in geek country again.

I mean, we didn't get into debating the fine points of TNG vs B5 or anything, but you can only expect so much.

And here's an update on how my working out is going: I am in seriously shitty shape. I was walked through my three day split routine by a trainer at the gym on Friday. And my quads still hurt. Smartass that I am, I told the guy that my legs should be in great shape from all the walking that we do with Maya (our Husky). So masochist that my trainer is, he piled on the weight and now I can barely walk. Serves me right I guess.

And Superwife and I are going to see the OBGYN for the first time tomorrow morning. I am so stoked for that. I want be a part of everything as much as Superwife will let me, and so far she's been great.

She is just barely starting to show (we are at just over 9 weeks as of Friday). She looks like she's got a very small pot belly starting. Funny that we got so excited about that when we noticed. She's having me take pics of her belly as we go through the whole process so we can see how it's going over time.

Yeah I know, you'd think we were the only couple to ever get pregnant. But to us, we are, so its ok.
