The Dragon Festival page is up and some other things have been taken care of, so I'm going to try to make this a wiki day today. I wish every day could be one.

Oh, by the way. It's Martin's birthday today. Make sure to go over and give him <3!

Judging by my inbox, it's going to be a really busy week. Top on my list is the page for the upcoming Dragon Festival, followed by a bunch of miscellaneous follow-ups and planning for some cool future web stuff.

I'll be strapped for time for most of today I'm guessing, but when I get a free moment, I'll come over here and comment on the skill sounds discussion. I'll also get to answering talk page questions. So, I'm not ignoring anyone! I promise :)

Tomorrow is the start of my mini-vacation. I say "mini" because I'm pruning it from a week to two days off. A member of our team has a new addition to his family, so he's away on paternity leave/diaper duty. Since everyone else on the web side is equally busy, I felt super guilty leaving for a few days. Unfortunately, my hotel wouldn't let me cancel the reservation outright, so I'll have to suck it up and take a break for a little bit. My concession is that I'll be available on email in the hotel, and I'll have my iPhone with me when I'm out, so I'll have email and wiki notices on that too.

You know you work at a cool place when you'd rather be at work than on vacation. Although I really could use some time to relax before my brain explodes.

As an un-related side note, I think my fish tank needs a new algae eater. My poor loach eats like it's Thanksgiving every day and just can't keep up with the scuzz on my tank. I'm guessing it's because the overhead lights don't go off at night in here, so it's prime conditions for goop to grow. Gross.

Since I'm a big bird fan, I'll leave you with some cute baby pictures. The Canadian geese picture was taken by one of our artists outside (We get to see them swim by all day in my room. It's so awesome.) The picture of the two awkward baby seagulls was taken by Julien (sent to me by Martin). I guess the mom built a nest eye-level to their window, so they get to see the babies get bigger every day. I'm so jealous.

Anyways, enjoy! I'll keep an eye on things remotely, but don't yell at me too much if I don't pop in until Monday. :)
