So, here's the weekend so far.

On Friday I went with some friends to The Mez in uptown Charlotte, which offers semi-yuppie dining, chill bar, and theatre.  It ended up turning into a club at the end of the evening, actually.  We saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was a quite spectacular film.

On Saturday, I took down the tree, did some shopping and picked up a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000.  There was actually a 50% chance it wouldn't work with Linux, since there are some documented issues with the "0x0008" revision that were manufactured before December 2008.  Unfortunatly, that's the revision I ended up getting (you can't tell by the box), so I'm going to return it today.

Also, when I was out and about, I saw a number of people wearing Carolina Panthers jerseys.  Being completely oblivious to everything sports, I only realized the significance of it when my upstairs neighbors dropped by (first time I met them..) asking if I wanted to join their party and watch the game.  Nice of them to ask, but little did they know that I am dumber than a doornail when it comes to sports.  Anyway, the event was apparently one of the NFL Playoffs.  The Panthers lost pretty badly to the Arizona Cardinals.  Oh well.

Oh, and I made sugar cookies!  They came out really nice.

Those cookies look so good right about now.

They tasted great, but didn't stay soft too long after being taken out of the oven.  A 5-10 second zap in the microwave does the trick, though!
