So long Google Talk, I always used ye..

-
So Google finally pulled the plug on the Google Talk app. We've been using it at work for nearly a decade, but Google had been telling people for years now that Google Talk was replaced by Google Hangouts and that Talk would be discontinued. Well, that day has come. My Google Talk app didn't log in and I got an e-mail from Google telling me that someone tried using Google Talk using my ID. Ah well, time to use something else.

Perhaps I should use more sneaker messaging instead.

On Friday night I had booked Laz and Growly's birthday present: A night to Escape from the Mysterious Room . It looked like it may be a real live version of The Crimson Room , which sounded like fun! In addition to the two birthday boys, I had asked them to list people they wanted to invite to the party (up to eleven people were allowed), so we were able to gather eight people together, six of us went to dinner at One of A Kind Pasta & Grill before heading up to the room.

That left the remaining three.. but it was all straightened out in the end. So after our escape from the restaurant, we headed out to the room, where

I spent a moment looking up what the heck it was first before coming across the line in the wiki: "You are able to contain them for a little while if you draw a pen or sharpie circle around them." Wha..? So I tried it out. You know what? It does work! I even took a video of it.

Back from London

-
The flight back from London was fairly uneventful. I wanted to get some sleep but I knew my body and the environment probably would not have allowed me to get any rest, so I decided to watch some movies instead: I skimmed through "Rock of Ages", which I had started to skim through on the way to London. The movie was kind of meh. It did not have the same atmosphere as the musical, and really was unable to draw you into the story as much as a live performance (and enthusiastic audience) could. I then watched the new "Total Recall", which was okay. I thought it was better than the Schwarzenegger version though (I was not much of a fan of the original "Total Recall". I then watched "Ted", which had it's funny moments and in general was a decent movie. Next up was "The Descendents" which really brought back memories of Hawaii. It was a pretty good movie to boot! After I had landed and finished unpacking, I went downtown to meet up with
