After I logged into blogger.com to make that last post as I greeted with the ability to sign up to Googles "GMail", which I promptly did. I think it will probably be one of my main e-mails that will (hopefully) last a long time. Also because I get to be an early user I got to create an easy to remember address (lbellamy) that I can use for personal and professional reasons.
This brings the total number of e-mail addresses that Anne and I have to 7 and probably 8 once Anne signs up for Gmail as well.

Yesterday Anne went to visit her friend Andrea in Barrie and stayed overnight, thus leaving the house for me. The most exciting part of it was the way the house stayed clean for a day with only one person there! So I did my chores and played on the computer, got to watch some anime I had been trying to find the time for and got the whole bed to myself. I slept well :)
I also had my last game of indoor soccer. It was awesome. We had just the right number of people for each side and the level of play was very high. So it was very fast paced and a lot of fun for the full 2 hours. Unfortunately my team was creamed and I don't even know what the exact score was.
Next week we start playing outside which will be very strange, outside sport is almost like a different sport compared to indoor. It should be a lot of fun though.

The WRC rally in New Zealand was on last night and I forgot to tape! AARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Stupid Leaf game and Ninja Gaiden.

This weekend my friend Ian came up from the city for a visit. We managed to get everything we had hoped to do done, which was great considering how much it rained at night and in the early mornings.
We played a lot of Project Gotham Racing 2, Tiger Woods PGA 2004, and Ninja Gaiden for the XBox. All of the games were enjoyed immensely, Ninja Gaiden by me especially. :)
Saturday afternoon we went and saw HellBoy at the theatre which was great. It was lots of fun to watch, but needed to have a more coherent plot. The characters went to places and you didn't' have any idea why and Hellboy did things with no explanation on why he had that power, etc, etc.. Overall it gets a B+ from me.
Sunday we went mountain biking at the Brant Tract near Paisley which obviously had a LOT of work done on it last summer. There were a lot of new trails and they were well thought out. It does need a bit of spring cleaning but I think I will go a few more times this summer for sure. Unfortunately Ian hit a big stick right close to the end of the ride and broke his derailer right off. So we had to take turns pedaling one bike and pulling the person on the other. I had to borrow my brothers bike to go as I still don't have a new one after ours got stolen last summer, and it worked okay considering I am used to a full suspension bike and this just had front shocks. We, and the bikes, were absolutely caked in mud at the end as well; good fun!
All in all a great time was had by all. Thanks for coming up Ian!

Edit: My grammer and spelling are so very bad....

AAAAARRGGGG!! Why don't people return messages? Yesterday I left messages for sales reps at 4 fairly well known, large companies. The messages weren't urgent but did ask they call back quickly. So far NONE have called back!! Why do I have to hound every single person for every single company deal with?! They only person who is prompt is Jimmy at Insight.ca. Calls me or e-mail within MINUTES of any contact. I guess thats why they get so much of my business.

I got my new Sympatico Highspeed hooked up this morning and so far it lives up to its name. The latency is very low (23ms to New York servers)so my online gaming will be good and the download speed is maxed at about 3Mbps. I downloaded a 165mb file in 8 and a half minutes which is an average of about 300KB/s or more. Soooo very sweet.

I hope everyone had a happy Easter!
Due to Anne's birthday I neglected to pick up an easter treat for her, but she was nice enough to get me one (a kinder box dealie thing) as well as one for herself. She is very wise.
On Sunday we had 2 dinners. The first one was a bit of an unorganized affair at my Nana and Grandad's palce in stayner which was okay, but a couple of hours later we had another big meal at Anne's aunt Bonnie's in meaford. Sooo very full. Anne's cherry cheesecake was a big hit (as usual) though.
The Sunday church sevice was quite good as well, there was a cantata (sp?) and everyone sang very nicely, I enjoyed much more than I thought I would.

Tomorrow is Anne's Birthday! I have yet to get (or make) a card but all the presents are bought and ready to give. I think she will be pleased.

Also tonight my parents are over for supper which is nice, and since they are big leaf fans I shouldn't think it will interfere with the big game. But since its also survivor and the apprentice and ER tonight I am goig to have to watch in on my computer.

I am excited that am going to be switching our internet access to Sympatico highspeed! Apparently its a 3Mbs service with unlimited downloads, which is the best deal you get get up here, so I am pleased with that. We will see how it goes. it will increase our download speeds 6x. I also verified with a tech that we should get very close to the maximum download speeds so I am quite happy about it. SHould get it next week sometime I think.

I had a pretty good weekend - even with the lack of sports to play. I have managed to get Anne her birthday presents (her birthday is on the 9th) already and not last minute, which gives me ample time to make a card and maybe get one more little thing.
Saturday afternoon we got some family pictures done of Anne, Maya and myself at Sears in Owen Sound which I think turned out really well. We then went and had Wendy's for supper which we both enjoyed immensely.
We then went to my parents as Anne was going to a wedding shower at the Missionary Church in paisley for the pastors son. I stayed home and watched the leaf game after kicking butt in Soul Calibur 2 agaist my cousins and siblings who were all over as well.
On Sunday church was very interesting as we heard from the Youth how just got back from a missions trip in mexico. They had a half-hour video on the experience which was incredible. They were building a church in the mountains in a village that had never seen white people before. No roads or anything. Very hard work and rewarding for them.
Anne had another wedding shower in the afternoon so I got some good gaming time in then. After that she napped and had some quality time with Maya who was in a suprisingly good mood.
We vegged for the rest of the evening watching CSI: Miami and the movie Runaway Jury, both of which entertained us greatly.
All in all a quiet and relaxing weekend.

Today Maya is 4 months old. I am in shock. Thats one third of a year old.
