Fast times in Tahoe - 1:03 AM

Work
This week I was at a conference in Queenstown - QMB (Same conference I mentioned in my first blog post). So spent the week learning new things and that. I went to a great talk on probiotics and on on pheromones and a whole pile I could have slept through. I presented a poster on my GABA work and hung out mainly with the sponsors. Ummm buy RayLab. I might pad this out a bit tomorrow.

Social
This time Nick came down for the whole week and went snowboarding, that same week 7 of our mates also happened to be in Queenstown boarding so Nick hung out with them durning the day and had a great time. I caught up with them in the evening.
The other thing that happened while I was down there was the 2007 lunar eclipse. This isn't my picture as cell phones don't do so well on moon photos.
But it did look amazing.

Games
Played a lot of Bejeweled durning the boring seminars. And that was about it.

Wellness
Cough.... conferences is free for all, so re weight tomorrow and see how much I have gone up and get back on to the spark plan. How could I say no to free Hersey's kisses the cookies and cream ones. That is just morally wrong.

Yummy stuff
Change of tact her and following Kelly and just mention what the best meal of the week was.
Sushi, oh it was good. Some restaurant in Queenstown - great Japanese and didn't they know it. Still worth the price.

Media
The Host
This was ok, didn't rock my boat but didn't make me want to walk out. Nick loved it.

Black Sheep
This I really liked. Was badly acted, bad script and terrible jokes. It was C grade, and very similar to Tongan Ninja - which is another great movie.

Shooter
This was good action, good script and plot, and well acted. Not sure on re watch ability but def see if you notice it at the video store.

Projects
Tomorrow

You make love as you eat, with a great deal of noise and no subtlety!
