So, the weekend was pretty enjoyable. A good friend of mine had a birthday, so I insisted on treating him to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was never much a fan of wing until I went to this joint. Now I'm looking for any old excuse to eat there whenever possible. Let's see, what's tomorrow? Any holidays going on? Let's see what a quick wiki wander reveals...hmmmm...we have:
- 1869 - In New York, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton form the National Woman Suffrage Association. - certainly worth celebrating, but see the rest before making a call
- 1858 - Opening of the present Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London. - good music is always cool, but not the kind of thing to warrant a trip to BWW
- 1957 - At Malden Island in the Pacific, Britain tests it's first hydrogen bomb in Operation Grapple. - Yeah, I'm still a part of the "legalize nukes" crowd, but let's see what else there is.
- Today is also Peace Officer's Memorial Day - yeah, as if I'd celebrate that.
- 1718 - James Puckle, a London lawyer, patents the Puckle gun, fore barer to the modern machine gun. - This is the one! The reason to go get some wings to celebrate!
As for how else I've been spending my time, the roomie and I have been sinking our time into a new game we just found out about called Guns of Icarus. Just imagine huge steampunk airships that are loaded to the hilt like battleships, duking it out over ruins of warships, and everyone plays an individual crew member on that ship, requiring excellent teamwork to survive. Go check it. It's intense.
