Birthday,cake, computer problems, trip home, patch 3.1..

// April 14th, 2009 // Mortis

Lots of things happened since the last update. We made a fondue for Hinote’s birthday. She also wanted an ice cream cake so we got one, cookie dough with purple vanilla frosting. Very yummy, but the day was warm, and she has to carry it around in the subway fast to get home while I was at work. The cake survived the trip well.

For some reasons, it was tough this year to find her a gift. I choose a small digicam, the Nikon S220, so she can have  a camera so small, always having it around. I also updated her first generation touch with the new OS and put cooking Mama on it. I gave her the gift at midnight. The camera is well design, very small, but we really dislike the picture quality. It seem impossible to get a clear pictures, even with playing with all the settings. So we will probably return it or exchange today and grab a bite at the same time. Not sure what we will do for her gift.

The last week have been crazy for her, quiz, 4 problems sets and a presentation to do. She almost didn’t sleep. Tuesday she worked with a lab partner home until 1am on the radio active lab.The apart got chilly at night, so I put both heaters so it’s warmer. First time I plugged them that way tho, so I end up having a breaker failing. The electric box is in the apart but locked, she we could access it. Hinote had to do hw on her laptop and the owner fixed it in the morning.

Wednesday, she was was working late at school on a problem set, so I got food on the way home, and I started a naxx 25 men pug, Aki started normaly. A random guild with immature people, but we were killing the bosses quite fast. It was around 10pm when Hinote got home, I just got a cloak and nice weapon.

She tried to boot Mr Purple, her computer, but it was impossible to start, rebooting every 5 seconds, and the screen all black. It was a big problem, some documents for her presentation on it. After an hour of trying we gave up.She didn’t want me to put her drive in my computer with our luck.

While she was making dinner, I remembered that I have spare memory for that computer, the Zalman being too big, she could only use 2 dimms, but I have 4 sticks of 1 gig.  I switched them, and everything worked.  That was a close call but it make sense, computer always break at the worst moment possible, like my p2 350 mhz breaking in exams week, and 2 days before finishing a contract.

Thursday the subway broke while being on it, so I had to walk 5 km to get to work. We got home around 5:30pm, packed and left taking the subway to meet my cousin. 12 hours of driving to meet my parents in my hometown. We were all tired, but I don’t sleep much in car. A lot of coffee involved. The last 3 hours in the wood was painfull we stop were my parents pick us up, got breakfast and made it home around 8pm. I slept until 2pm. My mom made pancakes with my hometown cheese in it and we just relax home that night.

Saturday I invited my parents for breakfast and me and Hinote did some shopping during the afternoon, a formal event I didn’t know force us to try to find more formal shirts. Mom made a chinese fondue and a chocolate fondue, and after dinner I watched the game with a friend, and we got out to play pool like old time. We got hungry around midnight, but everything seem close, after 45 min driving around, we found a poutine place, with a lot of students in it ^_^!. When I got home Hinote and I were watching stuff or our Ipod, trying to catch up on Heroes for me and Gossip girl for her.

Sunday was calm, my cousin kid baptism and a small dinner after.My mom made so much food, I spend the weekend eating. She also got the counter full of different desserts and basket full of chocolate. It always nice to go in my hometown, even if my life is elsewhere now.

We left early monday, long drive again, we got home at midnight. I will be so tired tomorrow at work.

Patch 3.1 is out for wow tomorrow. Ulduar raid, dual specs, Agent tournment and talents point reset. Time to relearn how to play your class again.
