My weekend
FRIDAY I got a free lunch. Seriously! I went to Safeway and got a deli sandwich and an iced tea and it cost 42 cents. Now here's the thing -- I had gotten enough sandwiches to get a free sandwich, and there was a Friday special so sandwiches were a dollar off. Well, somehow, they took the sandwich and the iced tea, added them together and THEN took off the sandwich price and the dollar off and so it worked out so I had to pay barely anything for my lunch. Whee.
In addition, I fixed my Moxi box by reloading Linux on it, so I could listen to the Anaheim-Redsox game at work. Yay, Red Sox in 3. I know I said 4, but still. I worked on some FTP scripts and whatnot at work, stayed a bit late to listen to more baseball, left around 9ish.
After work Friday I went to Illusionz, where I played a lot of Pop'n'Music. I passed the Yodel song on Hyper, mostly by mashing the ending. Wooooo. Played a little DDR, not much.
SATURDAY I woke up a bit late, though I forget why I was up late on Friday. I do know that I finally finished reading "Shoeless Joe and Ragtime Baseball". It still makes me cry to read stuff like that for some reason. It was really a good book though, it covered not only Joe Jackson's life but also a lot of stuff about the 1910's baseball era. Whee. I played in a few rounds of the Beta blockade since our allies were there.
Then I headed to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nykkel's house for board games 'n stuff. It was a relatively big gathering - Nykkel, Phaedrus, Farren, DJ, Kiefer, Fire, Rumi, Mwinzi, and me. When I got there, four people were playing a block-carp-like game that Mwinzi brought, and Fire was playing Katamari. We divided everyone into two games of Cosmic Encounter. I ended up in one with Nykkel, Phaedrus, and Farren. I was Deuce/Visionary, Phaedrus was Will/Loser, Nykkel was Wrack/Healer, and Farren was Connoisseur/Grudge. So, I decided that rather than having the game go poorly because I took it too seriously, I set different goals for myself during the game... such as beating Loser as Deuce, and whatnot. It worked pretty well. (I played a 0 and a 6 and as Visionary said "Phaedrus, play a 10." He did. Hilarity ensued.) I tried really hard to lose lots of tokens, failed, and as a result we ended up in an everyone-wins-but-Nykkel situation in the end.
After that, there was pizza, and more games. Phaedrus and Mwinzi and I played Aladdin's Dragons, and Fire played more Katamari, and the other 5 played Mystery in the Abbey. I won Aladdin's Dragons by a hair; fortunately Phaedrus stopped BOTH me and Mwinzi from buying the last artifact and I went into that last round with 7 artifacts to Mwinzi's 6. Wheee. After that I played some Katamari, and apparently did pretty well (I think it would have been pretty funny if someone had taperecorded me playing because I was just rolling and shouting crap the whole time... "CMON WHERE ARE THE DUCKS? DUCK DUCK!! OOH! CAT! CAT CAT CAT... OH DAMMIT WHY ARE THE BIRDS RUNNING AWAY FROM ME. ACK! STUPID BEAR! WOOO I COULD JUST ROLL AROUND THIS FOR HOOOOUUUURRRSS....") Unfortunately during it my stomach started to hurt so I kind of ended up curled up on the couch for an hour or so feeling like crap.
In the meantime DJ brought out the Pop'n'Music Puzzle Game, which is a lot like Puyo Puyo, except it has PNM characters and music and pop-kuns. The problem is that it's an online game and so DJ can't actually unlock most of the characters and songs. Bleh.
After that we went home. Mwinzi gave me a duck mirror he had gotten me for my birthday. (My birthday is in May. Before this week he honestly hadn't seen me since before that.) It's super-cute though the stand is broken, so I need to super-glue it together or something. Either way it's super-duper cute and ducky.
SUNDAY is today. Due to staying up super-late playing PP -- I'm trying to get a Sublime in carp -- Rome stayed up with me till like 6-7am on navy ships puzzling -- well, anyway, I got up around 2:30pm. I wanted to get some exercise so I decided to go take a walk around Greenlake. I did. It was nice. No ducklings but plenty of ducks. And stuff. Went to Blue C for dinner, alone, because Drew sucks. Not really. They had Rockman.exe up on the big screen and it reminded me of Rebecca. They also had amaebi on the conveyor belt and it reminded me of Carl. Etc. Rest of the night has been spent at home playing PP and cleaning up a bit... at least gathering up useless garbage and putting it into garbage bags, even if not making a severe cleaning effort.
And that's my weekend.
I would like to point out that so far, if Houston wins tomorrow, I was almost dead accurate with all my playoff predictions. I mostly got the numbers wrong.
Yes, I am up too late. Oh well. I just am not tired...
