it's been a while but past few days have been so-so other than for my B-day that went down on saturday! received some gift cards/money/clothes - y'know the usual. went to sushi hut w/ parents and sisters & their husbands for some good sushi and shrimp tempura for lunch - too bad the lunch buffet is as much as dinner buffet (19.99!); later on went out with the usual suspects for a free meal on Casey's but we had a few drinks and laughs so it was good ... tonight i went to the Raptors game hoping they'd defeat the 76ers who were w/o AI, Big Dog, and DC. didn't think those expectations were going to be too high! the sprite zone was loud & filled with annoying kids - but i was with tanya, simon, and his friends so we did a little catching up and talked some b-ball so it was a good time, just with a poor result this time around

edit: forgot to mention during the bball game that we were on the 'jumbo' screen in the ACC! (in the b/g of course - some fans were waving flags below us)
