I had my 4th anniversary yesterday, and I think I did pretty well, even without buying diamonds or anything. My wife and I bought new phones, so I got something we needed and a present all in one, without having to spend money on both. Then I brought her flowers when she was getting her nails done, so I think I really did good since all the girls in the salon were ooohhhing and aahhhing. And then we went to Jakes Seafood restaruant in Portland for Dinner, and hung out there for a couple hours. Couple beers, a nice bottle of Shiraz, some steelhead with shrimp, some crab tortelinni, vinegarette salads, desert that was a chocolate box fillled with berries, cream, and rasberry sauce, and $100 later we had one of the best meals we've had this year. Top that off with a little $*%#!, and I would say I survived another anniversary, and had a pretty good day to boot.

As for this weekend, it is one of the few i don't have a wedding to go to. but with my anniversary, missing a bachelor party cause of that and fathers day and work and another party to go to, I'm not short of places I need to be and plans that are already made for me. Work all week, busy every weekend, no wonder my yard looks like s***, and never can finish any video games...!

Also finished another SW book. SW: Jedi Quest. This book is kind of a prequel to the Jedi Quest series centered around the path that leads Anakin and Obi Wan into the clone wars, and Anakins eventual turn to the dark side. The story is very good, and confronts Anakin with slavery again, and the chance to break up a slave trade. Obi-Wan comes face to face with Siri, who used to be a Jedi his age. These books basically keep showing how Anakins past is too much for him to handle, and how basically he was too old to begin Jedi training, just as Yoda said. There is also one big cruical plot point about Anakin, so SPOILER...

.....dont read if you plan to read the book highlight to read (Anakin commits his first kill, by murdering the head slave trader.)
