I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was quite nice. On Saturday G. and I did some Christmas shopping at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. The mall was crazy. There were more than a few times where I wanted to throw some elbows but I suppressed the urge. It made for lots of good people watching, though. We even saw a pirate in the food court! Only in Toronto, you know?

We also went to a Grey Cup party that night hosted by a friend of G’s. He throws a good party and Saturday’s was no exception. Lots and lots of food, enough beer to keep us all feeling good and loud, and Dance Dance Revolution! I’ve never played DDR before. I’ve seen some amazing things on Youtube, though.

Sadly, I didn’t own the board just as well as that kid did but I still had a lot of fun. G. and I liked it so much we were tempted to get it the next day from Futureshop. We decided to wait, though. Christmas is already an expensive time of year. Plus, G. decided to buy Guitar Hero III yesterday so it wasn’t like we were leaving empty-handed. I played a couple of songs and reconfirmed my suspicions - I’m just not that very good at it, lol. I didn’t want to be a wet blanket, though. I’d totally play it again. I’m coming to turns that I’m a total video game n00b and likely won’t ever be very good at any game.

On Monday, I began the process of bonding my rabbits. Few people actually know that I rescued a second bunny from the SPCA. In fact, if my sister is reading this, it’ll be the first time she’s heard of this second bunny! His name is Diefenbaker, after the 13th Prime Minister of Canada, John Diefenbaker. He was Caleb before he joined my family but I decided he need a much more suitable name for my tastes. G. suggested Studebaker when he was introduced but I liked Diefenbaker more. Diefenbaker was the source of much mirth during my Canadian Foreign Policy class in my final year of university.
