Nothing much

I'm sure you've heard enough about my bodily functions by now, so I'll just quickly say that I was feeling a bit better today so I went to work. Not hundred percent, I only managed to a little bit of bread and a banana today, but I'm getting there.

Earlier this month Vancouver was hoping for a new record... a record for rain. We'd had 27 days of consecutive rain, and only needed one more day to beat 53-year old record - and of course on the 28th day it didn't rain. It also didn't rain today, so I took the opportunity and walked home from work - it's also getting noticeably lighter out, so it even light outside. And it just reminded me on how lucky I am, the beach with the mountains is just breathtakingly beautiful. It's still bloody cold though, my ears and my butt were freezing by the time I got home. And while I say cold, I do realize the record cold weather Finland and Russia have been enduring and will have to tell you that my bloody cold nowadays means about +5 C with a moderate wind... anyway, it felt cold.

Anyway, at home I wrapped myself in blankets and decided to spend some quality time with my TV. I finally watched Trekkies that my friends have been talking about for ages, and I quite enjoyed it - maybe not as much as I should have had. Maybe it's one of those things that you always think you do better than anyone else, yes I'm a fan but surely I don't look like that to other people? Someone who especially stuck in my mind was Gabriel C. Koerner (possibly because he reminds me of people I know), the 14-year old geek whose collection and convention trip forms big part of the movie - so I googled him and found out what he had been up to since. He ended up doing something he seemed to love in Trekkies - nowadays he's earning a living doing 3D art and visual effects for movies and TV, he even received a nomination for 2003 Visual Effects Society Award Nominee for Outstanding Models & Miniatures in a Television for our very own Battlestar Galactica mini-series. I just love happy endings.
