Happy Easter! And all that crap.
Personally, while I can appreciate the message of Easter (and Christmas, etc), I'm not overly fond of the event itself. This is mainly due to the lip service paid to the religious history of what has become a commercialised event. I'm sure that there are some people of there of the religious persuasion out there that celebrate and respect the meaning of the holidays, but from casual observation they seem few and far between. I'm not old enough to remember, but how long ago was it when holidays like Easter and Christmas were about religion, not commercialisation?
But I'm probably just reiterating the comments echoed in thousands of other blogs worldwide, so I'll keep quiet on that.
But still, the enforced holiday does give us a chance to do something different. Instead of our usual Friday Night On The Town, The Group gathered at Jono's for a congregation. Catholic Friendly food was served (ie: fish and chips, and some salad) and we spent the nightD playing the card game Spoons, of all things. It was really quite enjoyable, and it got more than a little silly.
I'll be catching up with Family tomorrow, which will be nice. Instead of doing the standard Easter eggs thing, Michele and I are doing the Chocolate Cake Of Doom, and idea which seems to be quite well received. I like it, because I don't like Easter eggs :P Go Shay!
In other news, I got the Powerbook back. It's nice and shiny, and as we're seeing more and more of them at work, I'm getting to know them a lot better. I'm still trying to convince them to buy me a better one, but when I think about what I actually do with it, a memory upgrade on this one would probably do me just fine. Quite honestly, I wouldn't mind using it as a desktop replacement at work. I'm already using it at home exclusively.
Daniel just got himself a new camera, and I'm insanely jealous. Jealous because it's the one that I've been drooling over for ages.
