Well…you know you’ve hit the big leagues when you make it onto my side menu as one of the blogs I read!

What can I say about Kevin? I haven’t actually met the guy before (as far as I know!) but he works with James and I started noticing his great comments concerning all things Apple, technology and music. Heck, for awhile I thought someone was playiing a prank on me and set up my clone’s blog!

Anyhow, it’s at the point where I say “Hmm…I wonder what Kevin has to say today” so that’s an automatic side menu entry right there.

Congrats on making the cut Kevin! Too bad Matt is about to get cut any day now for putting up non-interesting sporadic entries. 😉 He’s not cut out for this sort of thing.

Saturday afternoon for 8 hours brought me into Alex’s basement to frame up some walls.

I have never done such a thing so I was anxious to learn as I will be attempting to do so with my own basement eventually.

I must say it was cool to see something come together! Duncan, Alex and I ended up having a pretty good system going after awhile and it went smoothly until the end of it all in the last hour where something went horribly awry and we had to rip out a few boards.

I must also say that Duncan has a natural talent for this sort of thing. Whereas my brain was going to mush at some points trying to figure out measurements and whatnot, he had a clear head for this sort of thing. He did work in a lumber yard for quite a few years so I’m assuming he got some of this knowlege from there. If you ever need help on construction, call Duncan over!

What’s the greatest thing in the world right now? The H0me Depot Rental Centre. Soooo convenient. Especially if you don’t own a ramset.

I’ll be managing my time wisely for the next month to help out Alex with his renovations. Between that and school, I don’t think there’ll be much time for anything else. Sorry Vero!

Hey, what’s the weekend without a few games or four?

Friday night, we played some charades which was fun. It was made up charades so the pieces of paper had some interesting things to act out. My personal fave was Duncan acting out an Imperial Star Destroyer.

Saturday night, we played Scattergories over at James and Ferda’s castle. They were having a games night which consisted of Mexican Dominoes, Mario Party, Scattergories…and I think they were ending Cranium when we walked in. We got there super late due to the work being done on Alex’s place. Not a big deal though. I got to see the people I wanted to see (aka everybody!) and Vero and I won at Scattergories. We are the champs. I can actually say that no one can beat us.
However, when talking about champs, Joelle claimed that she was the reigning Monolopy Queen which I scoffed so we set up a challenge.

Sunday afternoon brought on Monopoly where Joelle was the first one out. Granted, I didn’t do well either. I think a Joelle Vs. Palmer competition is what is needed to determine the true champ.
