This has been a rather quiet weekend. With the rain, there's been a strong disinsentive to go outside much. Saturday I picked up a cheap copy of Soul Calibur II, and so spent most of the rest of the day playing Weapon Master mode.
Last Thursday, infohigh and I watched Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. It was shot in Ottawa, so Biggs recognized a lot of the places. It seems he used to shop at the same clothing store as JC.
Today I picked up a multimeter to check the AC adaptor of my laptop. The power seems fine, although the voltage wobbles a tiny bit. It's probably not a big deal, but lately when I've plugged adaptor in the laptop, the 'power' light starts blinking. If I try to run it without the battery in, it might flicker to life for a second before powering down again. I think I'm going to have to look for a place to get it repaired.
Today I also picked up some Vidalia onions, and decided to try out a recipe I saw on slashdot the other day. Lacking the garlic, I invited infohigh over, since he had garlic stinking up his fridge, and I'd rather have someone to share the soup with. The soup turned out rather well, considering I probably did a few things wrong and lacked proper bread to top the soup. Of course, one of the reasons I was cooking in the first place was to learn, so I'm not too bothered by this.
