Ping. :)

Eugene Celebration was okay, I guess. It was fun hanging out with people and all that, but when you cut right down to it, they're basically charging you money so you can go in and buy food, beer, and various sundries at higher prices than you'd normally pay at the storefront... throw in some mediocre local bands, and that's pretty much the sum of what was going on. Sheesh. :p I didn't see the parade on Saturday, which is supposed to be a Big Deal, but odds of me getting up that early on a Saturday are pretty much zero.

Played some WoW on Saturday, finally got the Winklet up to lvl 57. I hadn't seen all the new PvP stuff in EPL, so that was interesting to observe. After that, I hopped on my bike and pedaled downtown and took some pictures at the classic car show, and wandered around the Celebration some more. The admission bracelet was good for three days, so I thought I'd get a bit more mileage out of it. I find that I'm really liking the whole thing of biking instead of driving. Too bad the weather will likely go to crap soon. ;p

Went to a dinner thing with Ben later that night, for a friend of his who was visiting from out of town. It was a little weird, because it was mostly the friend's family, and I always feel kind of weird at family gatherings where I'm not part of the family, but it was relaxing, and the food was good.

The renaissance faire on Sunday was pretty fun. We got a later start than expected, but we still got there in time for the joust, which was pretty cool! There were some old-style clothes and weapons and stuff to be had, and some eatables, and all that good stuff. I don't know if I'd go again, because it didn't seem like there was a whole ton going on, but we did get there near the tail-end of the things, so maybe the first day would've been more interesting. ::shrug::

I'm so friggin' moody right now. Bleh. I think I need to stop listening to Counting Crows. ;p Anyway, training tonight, and then I'll hopefully get to take it easy for a bit. My aunt is also going to call later on...
