I scream, you scream...

So far my vacation has dealt with a wedding, food, pimpin' my laptop, food, buying a few new clothes and ... well ... food.

And the food isn't done as I discovered something from Homestead Ice Cream here in Saskatoon. Ice Cream in a bucket. Yes, in a bucket. I had to get one as soon as I saw it. And I couldn't finish it in just one sitting. I may have to take it back to Outlook with me, but it will be more than worth it.

Describing it does not do it justice. The picture will have to suffice.

Until I get a brain freeze...

...keep 'em flyin'.

Pimp My Laptop

Okay, I'm on vacation. But I'm on vacation in Saskatoon. Which means a little quality time for me and my stuff. I have my camera, my laptop, and recently acquired some new stuff on Friday when I came into town. Let's face it, I needed a new pair of shoes and I found a stylish pair that works for casual wear or even formal wear.

Next, time to pimp my laptop.

My first goal was to actually go out and pick up a book to put my music CD's into. Which I did find. One that holds 320 CDs. Yes, I have more than that, but I digress. While shopping for such a find, I also remembered I needed a laptop cooling base. I managed to find one at OTV, called the Notepal by Cool Master. Comes with dual fans and USB connection. My laptop will now be much cooler.

And, cooler still with the gelpic I managed to find.

Made by 3M, this easy adhesive picture adds an amount of flare and style to said laptop. Yes, I like my tech-geek stuff, and I like it to stand out a bit. In Outlook, this will definitely stand out. There are other gelmats, so as time goes on, I may change things up a bit. We'll have to see.

Until next time...

Keep 'em flyin'.

The Food of the Wedding

On Saturday, May 24th, 2008 the wedding of Gene and Val took place. A wonderful affair that will be described in a future (tomorrow) blog entry.

But today, there is the food.

With every gala affair, there must be the food. And the food began on Friday. Upon arriving in Saskatoon, I went about seeking out my partner in crime, Pike. My first stop was to meeting up with him at a local restaurant, Tony Tomas. There, I had a selection of pasta. But the next day had to be one of the best. Both Pike and I had the Jack Daniel's Six Ounce Sirloin. The steak was tender, yet flavour filled, and juicy. The evening continued, and we went to the Cluricaune's Irish Pub. And here we had an ale along with a shot of Glenfiddich. And from there, the decision for ice cream was made. Which slowly became small appetizers. And then, a full platter of food.

After recovering from all the food, the next day brought.... you guessed it, more food. A breakfast brunch with everything you can imagine. Including a chocolate fountain. However, I went with something much more traditional. Waffles, with whip cream and a bowl of Saskatoon berries. This may sound incredibly dull, but please, look at photos from the brunch alone.


As easy as it would be to describe these, nothing can say more than an image alone.

'Til the waiter brings the cheque...
