Well for the start of today I was due to show Jess a few things about how to play pool, since I kinda caned her the last time we played. Shoulder all over the place. Yeesh. Those of you who know my OCD tendency of showing people how to do something when I know and they don’t will recognise it now. ^^

Anyway, when we got to the pool hall, it wasn’t due to open until I needed to be back to head out to the first family gathering, so we went elsewhere. First we went to the mall for a bit and I met Jess’ friend Summer, whom I had seen and talked to online a couple of times but had yet to ‘actually meet’. Cool chick. Anyway, from there we went back to Jess’ place for a bit and just generally chilled out, talked and played some chess. I think Jess was just being nice in playing with me, though. ^^

Ok, I just saw this ad on television – why on earth would you put a computer into a toothbrush?

Anyway, after we got back I got changed into some nice clothes and Anastasia and I went to her great-Uncle Rick and great-Aunt Sylvia’s place for the first family gathering. We were the first ones there because we didn’t get told that it was shifted to later. Naturally. However, this suited Anastasia because she’s the punctual one.

This was a pleasant get together (I was the oldest one at the kids’ table) with Anastasia’s cousins and aunts and uncles and so on and so forth. Good food, good times. We hung out, we chatted, I managed to amuse some of the younger cousins as well as apparently winning over some of Anastasia’s more protective uncles. Afterwards we went home so I could get some work done and just relax for a bit before getting some rest. I did a little bit of work, Jess came over and I cleaned out her computer. I exorcised the demons and that computer was clee-ah.
