It's a nice day to start again

Last night I hit up a place I've never been to called Fastlane, over in Current River (for Thunder Bayites, you might have known it as Bunnies back when I was in high school). I think the average age of patrons there was 42 (cougar city), but overall I liked the place, mostly because of the karaoke. I did my usual White Wedding cover, and I've decided that the next time I go to a karaoke place, I'm going to have a song list prepped. I heard Chris sing Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden, and I was thoroughly impressed with his vocal range. Impressed indeed.

While I was there, I chatted it up with Alexa's American friend Rebecca. She's in town for the next week (in addition to last week) for some DNA course. Adam made a good point after we left that I should have arranged some sort of phone number exchange before I took off. I told her I hope I get to see her again before she leaves, and that's no joke. I'd like to introduce her to the wonders of five pin bowling.



I've sort of been going crazy with torrents lately. Chris brought his portable hard drive over the other day and I picked a few things off of it, and I quickly got the notice that my hard drive was full. Well, I've burned a lot of my older media to DVD now, so I've got some more space to work on. I'm wondering if I should invest in an external drive myself. I cuold get a standalone 500GB external drive from Future Shop or an enclosure and 500GB SATA drive from ncix for under $250 each. Jeez, I never thought I'd see the day when I fill up my 200GB drive and 100GB partition. It's times like that that a DVD burner really comes in handy.

Also, congrats to Steve and Nat who recently got engaged! About time!

Link of the moment... I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I got Guitar Hero for my birthday. As of yet, no one has been able to give me a challenge.
