A pretty enjoyable day. Pretty focused at work, knowing that it would be a short day due to celebrations. First, a "happy hour" in the company kitchen / etc area the celebrate the Orange Box games going "gold". Had some yummy tequila then some blah brandy after that ran out. It was noisy and crowded and people everywhere were having a good time, and it was good. The highlight was a round of Happy Birthday for a bemused and maybe embarrassed now-26-year-old dude.

Bailed on that a bit early to go out to dinner w/ some of the guys from work and their wives. Went to Maggiano's, where we had a price-fixed family-style dinner that was really very good. Left there around 8:30 I think. Then, back to the office to wrap up some things and write some email, then home. Spent a couple hours working on the "liner notes" to a CD sampler of my recorded musical output over the past decade or so.

Ah – how could I have forgotten to mention this! Got a housewarming gift in the mail yesterday – a big book of Far Side cartoons. I love the Far Side. Absolutely my favorite cartoons, going back to when I was a kid. With Bloom County a close second. Anyway, this would go on my coffee table if I had a coffee table yet.
