Valentines, Watson and Theit Loveliness

I wanted to post a picture today but the weather is awful and the lighting indoors is just washing me out. Today is not a good picture day :( 

As I mentioned previously, Valentine's Day isn't on my list of major holidays to celebrate. Instead it was spent with the pooch enjoying the great outdoors, with yummy (grilled!) BBQ chicken for dinner and watching the very much anticipated Watson Jeopardy showdown. 

I was a little bummed at first because I was expecting less background information and more jeopardy but afterward I was happy that they explained the technology behind Watson. I can't wait to see how it does tonight. (On a side note, its crazy how much technology has advanced in such a short period of time. In 40-some odd years we've gone from the first personal computer to building algorithms that understand--or simulate understanding of-- the human language and all it's little subtleties). 

In other news, have you seen The Daybook's recent give-away? It's this amazing, gorgeous have-to-have-it Theit bag. I had already planned on getting one anyway, when it becomes available again, but it would be so much nicer to get it for free! With all the people already entered, I doubt I'll be chosen but I can hope! I've been toting around my Mum's old Canon bag (despite the fact that I have a Nikon!) and I could really use an upgrade. Keeping my fingers crossed :) Here's hoping a little Birthday luck (it's coming up prettttttyyyy soon) will help me out.
