Time flies...

... even when you are not having fun.

I've been meaning to write this review of the weekend since Monday. But everyday events conspired against me.

The Annual Games Championship on Saturday was once again a great success. Ten games on various consoles were played. Mostly X-box but there was a humorous and tiring event on the Playstation 2 using a device called the Eye Toy. Basically it uses a camera placed on top of the TV that superimposes your real-time image onto the screen. This particular game was boxing and left us all more than a bit tired - and I must say suffering from some long term injuries. Anyway, Andy was once again AGC champion - albeit by a much slimmer margin than last year. I finished a dissappointing 5th but half a point behind Jason.

On Sunday, Marla and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner. The food was great - each dish was brought by someone in a pot-luck stylee - with some highlights being Marla's Turkey and stuffing and the stir-fried sprouts brought by Andy and Fi (you can read more about them on Andy's weblog). After dinner we all collapsed, full to the brim, and watched Fletch on video - an old-school choice indeed. Then after Fletch we watched a great little Cary Grant and Ingred Bergman movie called Indisreet, which was remarkably entertaining for everyone.

One other item of note is that Sunday was an exceptional day for my favourite sports teams. The Miami Dolphins won for only the second time all season. Bath Rugby had a nice win. But most importantly Liverpool had an incredible 2-1 win over Arsenal. It was only Arsenal's second defeat in 54 (or is it 56?) games and came thanks to a dramatic 30-yard curling shot from Neil Mellor with about 10 seconds remaining in the game. I managed to video-tape the highlights and it has become one of my favourite sporting moments of all time.
