Wow, less than a week away, huh? o_O
Other than being sick, I had a lovely birthday weekend. Friday night was Filipino takeout with the familia, followed by cake and presents. Saturday night was the company Christmas party. Band from TV is great (wow, Scott Grimes can sing!) - you could tell the guys were just having so much fun. Also, Darius Rucker is very talented, but he has no...charisma, no patter. We left during his set.
All in all a nice party, although I am disappointed that these events become all about who they get as the entertainment, so they tend to chintz on all the other details. But it was free food, free concerts, and free transportation (they had buses running between our campus and downtown) so I guess I should just shut up about it.
Today, JP and I went downtown to see Hubble 3D at the IMAX, such being the nerd's idea of a right good time. Mmm, learning. We went ahead and bought the year pass to the theater - it's all the IMAX movies you can stomach for a year, discounted regular movies, free upgrades on popcorn/drinks, and validated parking. Since the theater is located in the mall attached to the Riverwalk, we figured we would get good use out of the pass. The movie was AWESOME, by the way. The Hubble pictures and the footage of the space shuttle taking off and the shots of Earth from orbit...that stuff chokes me up every time I see it. ♥
Afterward, we had Sbarro's Pizza and wandered around the mall before coming back home. Not my most exciting birthday, but definitely a good one.
P.S. - happy belated birthday, ryoneko!
