IZ, the fun way
Today I went to work at the normal time, which is what I usually do on weekdays after all. My group ate lunch outside and it was nice. It's so fun.
I hear the Mariners lost, but it looked like Freddy was actually pitching a really relatively good game for him, he just didn't get run support. Sucks. Gonna be interesting with Nelson pitching against the Mariners in their series with the Yankees this weekend.

rkane and I bussed out to Illusionz, where we met up with daviticus for lots of guitar freaking and drummaniaing. Well, and I played a lot of PNM but it was skipping, and PPP for fun, and of course DDR, wherein I AA'ed Twilight Zone... I played a set with Tada, and a set with Sean, and then I played all the rest of my sets with Mark for the rest of the evening. Sad to say he did not AA Dam Dariram, but he got a lot closer than he used to, and it's cool seeing how much he's improved this summer, he can even pass songs on Extra Stage now :) Anyway, I saw many other random people at IZ tonight. I saw elphie but I didn't really talk to her much because I suck. I also saw Nicole Desrosiers, who ketsugami had actually told me to look out for, so that was odd... I went up to her like "HEY, I KNOW YOU" and she's like "oh yeah, you went to CMU right?" and I'm like yeah, and so we started talking about Vermillion and Otakon and DDR and all. I probably came off as a hyper annoying ddrfreak but hey, that's me. I also saw Derek Leung, who I knew from the SFFS... I had no idea he was even here this summer, and he's leaving this weekend. There were a bazillion Microsoft interns at IZ tonight for some reason.
Anyway, I really had a lot of fun at IZ tonight, it's good to be around lots of cool people. Afterwards Dave and Mark and I went back to Mark and Jon's apartment, where we ate Tombstone pizza and drank soda and watched episodes of the Family Guy, and talked until like 12:30am (sorry Dave!). I seem to have actually laughed my throat sore from the Family Guy episode with the chicken fight. I guess I keep saying this but I'm really going to miss Mark... it was really cool having an awesome CMU/DDR/gaming/etc friend at work and all. Kinda like when I worked with Carl, almost. Oh well. Anyway, I am home, and I have a lot of Cherry Coke, and I need to pack so I can go to California tomorrow, although I'm really just going to stuff some t-shirts in my backpack, I think, and call that packing. Yeah.
EDIT> I totally forgot, but Tada reminded me, of the sandwich board guy... when Mark and I were riding the bus and it got off I-90 to the Issaquah park'n'ride, we saw a guy standing by the side of the road wearing a big Illusionz sandwich board that said all this stuff like "SUPER SAVER WEEKDAY SPECIAL! COME TO ILLUSIONZ! LOTSA COOL GAMES!" and whatnot. We were kinda freaked out by it :)
