And by "population", I of course mean myself.  :)

Well, it's happened again.  The stars have aligned, and the cosmic forces of the Universe itself have contrived to bring about an event that some people dread...  I'm talking about the celebration of the day I was born - my Birthday. 

Yes, as of yesterday I got another whole year older.  I am now the ripe old age 0f 32, which doesn't make me the oldest member here by any stretch of the imagination - but I'm most definitely not the youngest here at Gamespot either.  *grin*

Was quite a nice day, all things considered.  Had to get up at some unreasonable hour for a Working Bee, which Kate and I were kinda late for...  Then managed to go and visit the Cuzman for a bit and do various horsey things for a lil' while.  Back to Kate's place for a while to ride out the stinking hot weather - given that she has air conditioning and I don't.  Finally, off to my parent's place for the evening and the traditional Birthday dinner that we celebrate as a family.  Very pleasant day.

As per normal, Birthdays and Christmas are the times of year I receive new clothes, and I managed to score a couple of nice shirts, a t-shirt, some shorts and a new pair of jeans.  Plus some kewl books, some BBQ tools (to fully realise my Tong Master-ness) an evil spherical jigsaw puzzle, and a Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Were-Rabbit Interactive DVD Game.  Lemme tell you, that is a KEWL lil' Game, although I'm not very good at it.  In two attempts, Kate kicked my butt twice - although in the second time, my attempts at playing the game helped more than hindered her victory.  :(

It's been a couple of weeks since my last update here, so I'll prolly make a couple more over the coming days, but that should do for the moment.  So until next time...

Game on!  :)
