The award dinner was a lot of fun.  Two hours of cocktails and socializing with good people followed by a mediocre (at $65 a plate anyway) meal, followed by more drinking, being presented on stage, and then a group of us went to a local bar afterwards and drank some more.

I got to take home a professionally framed copy of the article and a really heavy steel trophy/award/thingy.  I get a pdf of the article on Monday for anyone who wants to see it and haven't already on Facebook :)

It was a good time and a nice line item on my resume.  In all It seems to have been a success.   :hadron:

I don't care about the article, post a picture of your heavy steel trophy/award/thingy.  :o

I want to see the article too. :)

I also am meant to be graduating at the end of this year. I am doing an Independent Study Contract about ADHD and gaming/internet addiction.

We got in and out of Ikea in about 15 minutes.
We got the long driving errands out of the way today so we can go rock climbing tomorrow.
I got the new drawers from Ikea (Helmer) at lower price than expected ($39 instead of $49 CDN) AND they weren't defective and I got them put together in about 45 minutes for the first and watching Tintin for the second. They help form my new desk and now I have 12 drawers to organize my crap.

Great news, Hyke! Congrats, Hubert!

Clipped my hedge this morning, and got my washing inside in time before the massive rain started again.
Cats are pondering on taking swimming lessons.

Took a buddy from school out on the boat for a day of fathers day fishing.  Went to a new reservoir about 90 miles away that I had never visited before.  About 25 miles in (away from civilization) the reservoir suddenly changes from 65 feet deep to about 3.  I assume that it was overfilled and we were actually on shore by a few hundred feet.  Anyway, grounded the damn boat.  Had to push it back into the deeper water with 20 lb carp jumping all around us and pelicans laughing.

Great way to push in the heat, being 3 ft in water.

We are quite amused.

The cinema rang Kayleigh early this morning and said they had my phone. I went and picked it up shortly afterwards. Honestly, I thought that I would never see it again.

Can't see why anyone would keep it. It's probably not very helpful for someone to have another person's phone. Not for very long anyway.
