August was memorable because it was the month where…I got married! Everything was planned by the end of July so there was no last minute stress before the big event, and I think it went relatively smoothly. After a couple of days rest (and by rest I mean running around cleaning up things), and a quick concert, it was off to Japan for 19 days.
We went to a variety of places around Japan, and I’ll blog more about it separately. Check my Japan tag. While in Japan, we were able to catch coverage of the big news story of the month, the Olympics in Beijing. We saw a lot of Japanese athletes, and not a lot of Canadian ones – although I knew we didn’t win a lot of medals. Out of the Olympics, the big stories were Phelps winning 8 golds (why is someone allowed to enter in 8 events?), and Bolt winning the 100m, then 200m and 400m relay.
While in Japan, I didn’t keep up with a lot of things I normally do – news, my RSS feeds, and Warcraft. That seemed to go over ok – maybe I won’t need to spend time on those things anymore? Speaking of not spending a lot of time on things, I didn’t work a lot. Of the 31 days in August, I worked 4 days, Aug 26, 27, 28, and 29; I could’ve not worked the 29th by moving my Labour day flex day around – but that’s just being ridiculous.
