SO SHINY
For those of you who are observant, you might notice that in the game list over
<----- yonder, there is a lil' clue to a new addition to the Sha Shiny Gadget Family. And this one may be the shiniest of them all: the PSP. Those of you who know me know that I have a weakness for shiny things with buttons, so it was really only a matter of time until I got one for myself. In this case, "matter of time" turned out to be about 5 days. I ordered it from Walmart.com, which forced me to buy a bundle, but it ended up being not too crappy. It arrived on Friday, and like I've been telling my friends, during work on Friday I kept opening up the case to look at it....and then closing it. Anyway, it is pretty much everything I hoped for....AND MORE. Definitely very cool. But I think I already put a scratch on the screen. 
Friday I also saw Sin City with Babs, Charlene, Buddy, and Marc. I enjoyed it quite a lot and it was very, very faithful to the comic books both in visual style and content. It's almost as if they just used the comic books as a storyboard for the film. I recommend it, though it's definitely not for the kiddies.
Saturday I went on a nice 5.5-mile run on the Bay Trail with Buddy, and then it was an afternoon of errand-running. I also took Enzo to the vet because he has a sore spot at the base of his tail that was getting infected. Yuck. In the evening I did my taxes, which was pretty straightforward. I ended up not getting any refund, which is good in the end, I suppose. Take that, government!
Yesterday Yar, Jan, Kurtis and I went to the San Francisco Zoo which was zoo-rrific. We saw the lions and tigers being fed, and decided that we never want to be attacked by a either one. I also decided that penguins are some of the dumbest creatures on earth. We were watching them being fed, and you could definitely tell that the zookeepers were annoyed at them. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I'll have to go again. If you want to join me some time, let me know.
