A Walk In The Park & Other Things

Today was still a remarkably quiet and boring day by the standards of those whacky citizens we refer to as “kids” but it was still fun. We got an invite from the neighbor who was taking her dogs out for a walk to a nearby forested area in the city called the Don Mills Valley, or something to that effect. Since the Wife had never actually walked in a North American forest, this seemed like a good idea. And it was. I quietly marveled at how long it had been since I myself had done this, and it was nice to be in a quiet, forested area and know there wasn’t some python or tiger waiting to jump out and kill you, as is de rigeur in the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia.

The Old Friend also showed up today, which is always fun. I really gotta’ hang out with her more, because it’s kind of silly that one of my best, oldest and dearest friends is once again in the same city as I am, and I still only see her once every month or so.

And in geek news, the Playstation 3 has had its operating system updated and I have now plastered the Wife’s work as my PS3 “desktop” only it looks a lot more impressive on a big ol’ High Definition screen. I also managed to check out a new trailer for a game by Level 5, the Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy crew, who are quickly turning into another favorite developer of mine. White Knight Story looks COOL.
