Things looking up a little...

[dr4b]

Well, today was a much better day. Work went okay (I have this new strategy; any time Mike the Boss apologizes for saying something crude around me, I do something like belch at him a little later). Anyway, I came home, and we went to Megan and Josh's house, and I got to see Jed, a friend of mine from CERT and CMU; he recently moved out to Seattle. The 5 of us ordered indian food for dinner and it was good, and after that we went bowling. Bowling was kinda fun, we all did similarly mediocre or similarly well (Megan won the second game, go Megan!) and then I played two games of DDR 3rd mix; first a 2nd mix set, and then an SSR set. You know, 5 songs per game on a machine set to really high difficulty can take a LOT out of you. I did Wonderland as my first song, then did In the Navy, not expecting to pass it on the high-difficulty machine... but actually, I only missed like one arrow. Heh. So then I did umm.. Silent Hill. And Keep On Movin', because I was trying to recover still. Then I had a 5th song (whee!) so I picked Dead End. I got a 130-something combo and then couldn't breathe, so I gave up. Still, wowie! Since when do I get things like 130-something comboes on Dead End? Improving slowly, day by day, I say... Josh and Megan and Eli and Jed were all nice to humour me while I was doing this. On another note, they now have a Medieval Madness machine next to the 3rd mix, and they say they do NOT shut the arcade machines off at 1am, and the place is open 24 hours a day. 24-hour DDR. Whee! Not that I'll really take advantage of it, but you never know.

Wow, so tomorrow evening I'm going to IZ, most likely dragging aquatwo with me, and going for donuts afterwards with the usual suspects, and Kiefer might show up too so we can finally chat about hanging out sometime, and it's all interesting and it'll be fun and stuff. I hope.
