It was my birthday yesterday – 35 years old. So, on Saturday, my parents, my sister, and my brother-in-law came for a visit. We had lunch, then went to the akron art museum and the mall – then to dinner that evening at Macaroni Grill before cake and presents. They went back home that evening so it was kind of a whirlwind. I think everyone had a nice time and it was good seeing them. <\/p>\n

The museum was good – though pricier ($10.00) than last time I was there (free). They were doing a Norman Rockwell thing and the line was massive to get into that section. So, we found an entrance to the main galleries (which I announced to the rest of the group as “Look! There’s art in here!” and checked those out first. And then made our way into the Norman Rockwell area through another entrance. Which was pretty cool. I bought a book on fictional outhouses in the giftshop and we headed out.<\/p>\n

One of my presents was the game Overlord for the computer – and it won’t run on my brand new computer. I blame Vista – and to make it worse – the “error” message has no information. It just fails and that’s it – with no way to diagnose. I guess I have to do some research on my own – or wait for an upgrade and hope it helps. Oh, well, at least I can still play Portal.<\/p>\n

Watched the third Bourne movie yesterday – pretty good and fast paced. I had a little trouble with keeping the plot together since we got interrupted a few times with phone calls. I liked it and it had some really clever moments.<\/p>\n

Well, no jury duty today. I checked the website and then called as well last evening. The voice recording on the phone was… less than stellar. The degree in which they spelled out the instructions was a little insulting and a little scary. If you need detailed instructions on determining your group number and the color of the paper you are holding, well, should you really be on a jury and deciding someone else’s fate?<\/p>\n

That’s it for now – back to work…<\/p>\n
