Once at Steph & Matt's house, I hung out with Matt & Brendan, as Matt attempted to fix Shauna's fuxx0red iBook, and I played on my Powerbook. The three of us then watched Star Wars--or rather, two of us did and Brendan played with his educational-computer-book thing--followed by half of Empire Strikes Back until about 7, when I'd arranged to go see my bird again. :)

Drove to Chelsey's house from memory, with only one wrong turn, got greeted by Chelsey, and at least four of their dogs and a few cats, followed by two brothers and their mom, and eventually their dad. And my bird, oh my lovely bird, so nice to see her again, and she felt the same--all cuddly and cute for my entire hour there. :) Checked out her accommodations in the house, checked out the chameleon, took some pictures of her and the dogs, arranged to get her and the cage early next week, and went back to Steph & Matt's for dinner--chicken from BJ's. Mmm.

After dinner we watched some Henry Rollins in London, which wasn't quite as funny as, say, Eddie Izzard, and during which I dozed off, followed by The Italian Job, which was really good--story, acting, editing, special effects--and has a fabulous soundtrack that I hear is only available by import.

Update, a while later:
I forgot to mention that I got my birthday and Christmas presents from Shauna--still unwrapped--while at Steph & Matt's house. They entailed: an English translation of The Little Prince, one of her favorite books ever, and an AirZooka from ThinkGeek. :)

Followed Shauna back to our parents' house, played with Puck, had some Easy Mac and birch beer, looked at some of Shauna's paper photos, took pictures of Puck, assembled AirZooka, startled Puck with it. Then drove home, offloaded and uploaded photos, and here you go:
