Last night I managed to swing by the new candy store in Ashburn; right as I walked in a promotional balloon popped. I would have considered it conincidence, until someone else walked in and another balloon popped. My guess is that they have a remote control connected to a sensor, and they pop the balloons with infrared lasers in order to get your attention. Pretty clever.
Went to Movie Night(tm) last night, and it felt like months since I’ve been. That might be due to the fact it was months since I’ve been. We watched Thumbtanic and BatThumb (and a whole lot of kids shows before the main event). The young-one has gone from baby to toddler in the blink of an eye, has hair, is running around, and whapping mommy. It was hard to say which was more entertaining.
That evening I spilled the news about the surprise party happening tonight. Actually, it’s not so much a surprise as in he won’t know it’s coming, but more of a surprise that we recently thought to do it.
The rest of the night was spent doing Unix Regular Expressions.
