I just saw my nephew today. He was born on the 21st, which as it turns out, is a great day to be born in, any month. I am sure that Steph will back me up on this one. Anyways, he was so, so small! I never really saw Jadelynn when Phil and Joy first brought her home 'cause everyone in my house was sick, and when Adam and Sheryl had Kaitlin, I only saw them in the hospital because I was living in Montreal at the time. Maybe I have just forgotten how small they can be. I laugh when I think about how much Phil and Joy have changed in just under 2 years... how when they had Jadelynn they were so careful and, well, unexperienced. Now, holding and looking after babies seems to be second nature and they do it without thought. Really cool.

I have picked up some more web comics (pronouced as waste-of-time). One of the funniest is Little Gamers. It is rude and crude, badly drawn, and oh so funny. I think that Peter has been reading them for a while. I think that for a lot of things "internet related" I am behind the curve. At least that is how I feel. Come to think of it, I feel behind the curve most of the time.

Two of my friends seem like they are going to leave the country for a bit... one is going to Switzerland, the other to Japan. The one going to Japan is going to teach English, which I think is pretty cool. For the one that shall not be named, we (meaning other people are doing it, but I am on the "inside") were going to have a surprise party, but I don't know if that is going to happen... it is hard to do this sort of thing around exams, and if they think that no one is going to show up to wish them a happy good-bye, how much of a bummer would that be? I think that pretty soon the surprise will have to be broken.

The friend going to Switzerland has made me sad... it will be great for her, but I won't be in school when she comes back to finish her degree, and then I think that she will be doing grad school far away (west coast?) when she comes back. And I think that at this point, I will probably be hanging around here anyways. Ah well. I guess that is part of life, people moving on and continuing their lives. Still, it's sad. :-(
