Tuesday -- Pete! And DDR! And carpentry!
I didn't update last night because I conked out and slept instead.
I left my cellphone at home today... if you need to get in touch with me during work hours (ie, before 7pm) email me.
Yesterday Pete (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
diskozombie) came to Uwajimaya and we hung out for lunch! It was very exciting, we got lunch line food and chatted and then looked through CDs at Kinokuniya and through the Sanrio stuff in the gift center. We got bubble tea and then I had to head back to work.
After work there was Eastlake and then sushi train with Eli. Eli got a pretty nasty nosebleed while eating sushi, but he was okay after a while and we ordered some random weird rolls. I'm becoming more fond of spider rolls as long as I don't have to eat the end one.
Then there was Puzzle Pirates, where I was jobbing with Carl for an hour... I know Nykkel is *still* laughing at me over this, but I finally learned how to carp, after two months of playing. I didn't know you could flip the pieces using right-click or whatever... Farren didn't laugh at me per se, but he was like "Don't you write docs for a living or something? And you didn't bother reading them?" See, so I was looking for help on the distilling puzzle and in the meantime found the carp thing. And then while jobbing with Carl I said "I'd like to try carp after I finish gunning and get the boat up to speed, ok?" and I did, and I pulled consistent Excellents for 4 leagues in a row, and he was like "I don't get it. I thought you suck at carp." And then I admitted what a moron I am.
The funny thing is that I expect to never pull less than a Good on carp ever again, because I have crazy good spatial abilities. *sigh* Maybe my alter ego will become a master carpentress.
I went to play DDR with Pete for an hour around 11pm at Sunset. He got there after I'd played like 4 sets though, so I was already pretty tired. The machine was full of dust and the sensors were crap, and I'm out of practice, so I wasn't doing particularly well at anything, but I got good exercise. It was fun to see Pete and all, but I was in a kinda bad mood because of how lousy I was doing at DDR. And then we played KCET as our last song and someone started smoking behind me. Bleh.
Came home, played some more puzzle pirates... My lovely ship, the Famous Blowfish, was being sailed back from Orca, so I came aboard to help sail her. And she was out of cannon and rum. WTF. I know I don't really have any right to be sad, but... Stiiv docked her at Tinga with an absolutely empty hold (and a bunch of money to cover the rum/cannon), and I was like "fuck this, I'm sailing her back to Diamond." Jammer and Stiiv logged off for the night, but Parka (well, Parka's alt -- that was pretty funny, I was like "hi, you're obviously an alt since you're getting Incs on carp... wait... PARKA???" "dammit. how does everyone guess it's me?") came with me all the way up to Guava, with a stop on Ep for some cannonballs and grog (since rum is too expensive). Good stuff, good battles, and aside from my network sucking, it was actually a pretty pleasant trip.

See, I knew there'd be a great use for my attention span deficit someday ;)
