dr4b: (puzzle pirates shopkeeping)
it's funny. Serle said "good god! you have 315 friends! your friends page must be absolutely unmanageable! thats insane!"

he's entirely right.

but it's like, for the most part, I actually do try to read everyone. I should set up better filters though. I just spent 2 hours catching up on like... 3 days.

Anyway, Friday and Saturday.

Friday, I went to work, tired as all heck as usual. I got lunch from Costco, which resulted in eating what was possibly the most mediocre chicken caesar salad I have ever had in my life. By which I mean, I went to their lunch window thingy where you can order sandwiches and whatnot and I got a salad, which means I got a plastic container with some lettuce and chicken and cheese and tomatoes in it and a thingy of salad dressing, and I combined it all and crunched away and felt totally unfulfilled. I wish Outback was open for lunch because I have always enjoyed their salads. I guess maybe I will go in there for dinner sometime. (It is half a block from where I work.)

Also, I moved desks. Woo, one week and I already had to swap work spaces. So now I am not in the dark area with the "creative" group but in the light area near the other tech writers. This'll work out better. I'm sitting between the tech editor lady and some tech writer guy who seemed pretty nice.

I was so tired by 6:30pm that I just drove home. I nearly fell asleep at the wheel. Somewhat scary. I came online for my OCL matches (we went 2-2 due to Cioj disconnecting) and was so zonked I just logged out and went to take a nap around 9pm. I had at least 3 social options for the evening, like Marty's party and the ITG stomp session and dinner with people and whatnot and instead, I slept. I'm so lame.

Got up at 11pm. Attempted to make plans with Krispy, and with Jason, and failed at both. Instead, stayed on PP all night with the usual suspect, doing tailor work and sailing herbs around and whatnot. Good times. Went to sleep at 6am. I suck.

Saturday I got up at 10:30 to find that Jason was going to the baseball game with his family and Krispy was on a houseboat. Went back to sleep. Woke up around 3pm. Oops. Did a little stuff in PP, then went off to Nykkel's house, where he, DJ, Phaedrus, and Farren were all playing a "short" 1-power game of Cosmic Encounter. It wasn't too long I guess. It was around 7pm when they finished, so we all went to Pagliacci's Pizza for dinner, where we got a lot of meat on pizzas and watched the Virginia Tech vs. USC football game. Reconvened at Nykkel's for a longer 2-power VERY BITTER game of Cosmic where Nykkel all but took me out of the game by swapping my k-rad powerful hand with Phaedrus's lame-o weak hand in like the second turn of the game. I seriously was almost out of the game (down to two home bases even, so I lost a power - I was Bully/Silencer so I ditched Bully) until DJ played a Moebius Tubes, then most of us came back, and I even had 4 bases at the end of the game. Phaedrus won because I silenced him. I was telling people to shut up a lot. Mostly Nykkel. He deserved it. :P The funny thing is it occurs to me that we've always been so much stricter about people being Silencered in Pittsburgh than we ever are here. Like here, being silenced just means you don't get to do game mechanics that involve speaking. In Pittsburgh we always did it that it meant you SHUT THE FUCK UP for the entire turn. Ah well.

After that Phaedrus left, the remaining four of us played Corsairs, it was fun, and then Nykkel showed me a new puzzle game involving pirates that I forgot the name of and I will never play anyway, because we all know what happened LAST time Nykkel told me to play a puzzle game involving pirates. Then we listened to some weird Kosaka Riyu cover songs on DJ's laptop, and then went home.

Chernabog and I discovered some incredibly great cloth deals in PP tonight which resulted in us sailing a ton of stuff around to a whole bunch of places. It also sadly involved us both staying up until 6am. But, we're gonna be totally set for a whole bunch of different cloth colors for quite some time, and I'm happy about that.

And if you play PP and are around at 8pm Pacific tomorrow, please come to my Tourney in a Half Shell - TURTLE POWER!

I hope Krispy calls me and wakes me up so we can go get kaiten sushi today.
