As planned, this Saturday I went with Mariel, Domi, and Babs to San Francisco to go Christmas shopping. "Christmas browsing" is probably a more accurate term, as we hardly bought anything. But it was fun, and we were fortunate to have good timing, since it starting pouring just as we were leaving. It made for some nerve-wracking driving, but at least we didn't get soaked.

I also wanted to wish Peter a belated happy birthday! Hope you enjoy the "d-pod". Dork.

Finally, in more exciting news, we had our company annual awards meeting last Friday. No, I didn't win any awards, but Mya showed up to sing the song she co-wrote for our game. She sounded really good, and apparently afterwards she went up to the 2nd floor to talk to some of the people who make the game. Not engineers, of course, because that would just scare her away. And rightly so.
