a quiet weekend

Everyone can use a weekend of being antisocial, or dorky/dweeb-like, however you want to interpret it. It so happens that mine was this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I would've been more than content in putting such a weekend off as long as possible, maybe even until I return stateside. With everyone scattered all over the Northeast, be it for school or (mostly now) work, something tells me Montpelier will be a fairly desolate place. It's not like I'll be staying too long, just through Christmas - the whole time I will be looking for a job and whatnot.

Anyhow, no such luck. Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in respect to catching up in Intro to Logic - only 3 chapters to go! Perhaps I'll be able to start going to lecture again and actually engaging in whatever-the-hell is being talked about! Yeah...about that, I have decided that for the remainder of the term, I shall attend all lectures and tutorials unless a extreme circumstance prohibits this (such as...being so far behind in material there's no point in going...heh heh). Well, okay, most who read that will scoff and realize that I will most likely break that pledge by say...Monday. Not true - I actually enjoy my one lecture at 3 pm...yes Monday is my easiest day.

Now that spring is in full swing around these parts, usually one person or another is holding a barbecue at their flat - such is the case tomorrow evening. They provide the grill, we bring our food and drink - I like the sound of that - however, I am thinking of going to the Auckland Fish Market in the morning with hopes of securing lump crab meat - if so, and depending on price, I plan to make crab cakes - enough for myself definitely, but perhaps for others...and some grilled asparagus and white wine...hmm deluxe barbecue...I'm salivating at the thought of this already. And if I can't do that, I have a backup plan involving marinated steak with cajun spice rub, mushrooms, and a red wine.

I will post pictures of the market if I get there.

Does anyone know why a memory card from a camera won't read in the card reader drive? To get technical - my camera's SD card, upon insertion in my computer's (important) SD drive, will not load (also important - the computer knows its there, as acknowledged in 'My Computer') However, said card works in my flatmate's computer, and other cards work fine in mine...

ugh.
