I finally got sick of people not hearing me on my phone so I bought a new one. It's tres cool. It's got a camera and 2 Gigs of storage, which I'll never use, but it fits nice between my shoulder and my ear and I can hear people 200 times clearer, and they can hear me! It came with the data cable too, so I can syncronize my contacts and create ringtones. I think I was the worst customer ever in the cell phone store. I went in there and said, I need a phone that I can hear and talk on clearly, I don't need mp3 or camera or texting stuff, just a phone, and I'm a dropper. After the dude handed me the ugliest phone on earth, granted it did everything I wanted, I responded that I couldn't walk around with that, I was a computer scientist. After that, I found the one I have, then we sit down to talk price and they tell me SaskTel charges a $25 programming fee. I told him he could phone SaskTel, I wasn't paying that fee. After the poor salesguy came to, he said he's give me a $25 discount on the car charger for the cell instead, if I didn't make him phone SaskTel, and a deal was made. I'm such a brat.
I also needed a new camera. I went to Staples and London Drugs. London Drugs had absolutely nothing, but the sales dude told me that they are getting in all their new models on Tuesday, it's new model season for cameras. That's all the information I needed, I went to Future Shop and haggled myself a great deal on a last season camera. It's like my old camera but this years model, I ended up getting $40 off with my haggling, the camera was pretty cheap. I also bought a case for it.
Ryan came over that evening and we hung out, he made a really good pork tenderloin on the BBQ, and I made garlic mashed potatos. Here's a pic of our supper with the new camera:

Ryan took that one, I'm still a little shakey with the camera, but getting better. Sunday I meandered around downtown, the river and went to the gym. All in all, a good weekend.
