Dunny Turns 30
Friday the 6th was my 30th birthday, and it was grand.
Nadia got me an awesome cake, a nice new blue dress shirt shirt, a great watch, a pac-man t-shirt and a cool laptop bag. Lots of great loot from my great and wonderful girl.
Awesome Cake is Awesome
We had lunch together at [Insert Name of Restaurant Here], nice little Japanese place with great food, and later that night we had dinner with my folks at Tommy Bahamas, followed by watching The Vampires Apprentice – a surprisingly good movie.
The following morning we went to GameWorks with Rosenberg and Coldiron, and stayed there pretty much the whole day playing games, drinking beer, and harassing Sonic. We followed that up with a trip to The Yard House, for more beer, some shots, and good eats. Then we hit Borders, did some wandering and coffee drinking, and headed back home.
All told, it was a darn good birthday.

Can’t believe I forgot to mention this, as it was probably the highlight of the entire Arizona Trip:
Curry Peanut Butter, Bacon, Banana and Honey Sammich FTMFW!

Last weekend Nadia and I went to Phoenix, Arizona for the three-day weekend. Left on Friday, came back Sunday. It was a blast.
We hit up the science museum, which was fun, and the zoo, which was awesome. We also walked around Tempe, which is a fucking rathole, and Scottsdale, which as neat – if really bad for food – and did a bit of shopping (I bought a camera).
We rode a “train”, and a camel; we saw a film about Black Holes narrated by Q; we ate astronaut ice-cream, Greek food, Mexican food, and teeny-tiny portions of fish; there was walking, and sun burns; loads of driving, and a dam.
All told, it was a fun couple of days. Still, I was very happy to get back to Las Vegas – Arizona is just not my kind of place.

This Sunday was Nadias birthday – but the celebration actually began Saturday night, at the Yard House.

I enjoy tea. I don’t always get to indulge my love of tea as often as I might like, but I do quite enough making a nice, hot cup of tea now and then. I think Douglas Adams summed up both how to prepare, and why Americans generally don’t like it, far better than I could hope to. Of course, I tend to think Douglas Adams did most things far better than I could hope to, so my opinion might not be the most impartial.
For work, I tend to buy Twinings Earl Grey, the 25 count in bags. Yes, yes, I know bags are blasphemous, but I don’t really have the time to deal with loose-leaf at work. Plus, being stuck using a microwave to heat my water really limits my options.
