weak end update
Heh, aren't you all glad my life isn't interesting enough that I feel I have to write a gigantic encyclopedia every night? Instead it takes me 4 days to have enough for an encyclopedia.
Thursday after work was D&D. For a change we went to Cory and Heidi's house, and Heidi made a weird peanut chicken crockpot dish, which was good but the sauce made rice taste really weird. The session was kinda funny because we discovered the chamber was under Guards and Wards, so we decided to come back later and go through it, and instead proceed to a lower canyon and we basically slaughtered everyone in the market square instead. Justin, of course, was so astounded that we were exercising prudence that he had to scrap his whole day's plan. It still worked out well and I got to use a lot of badass spells, including totally toasting a mind flayer.
Friday... heh, Friday. I got up and really felt like crap, went back to sleep, got up in the mid-afternoon, decided to avoid work and the Halloween events, and instead I took over my box of stuff to Goodwill, and went and played a few games of DDR, and came back to the apartment. I played some Bemani for a while (oldskool 3rd Style, some 7th Style, and some PNM 9) and then I went to sleep at like 1am.
Got up on Saturday to go to Tacoma to help out Jerrad with his DDR Partner Tournament. It was pretty crazy. 21 teams entered Heavy Tech. I stood around with a clipboard writing down scores for most of 8-9 hours, as did Farren. I got to play some Beatmania in-between, and I saw lots of people I hadn't seen in a while (like Mendel, and Tyler, and Stephen and Jeff and Sumner and the other Oregon folks, and Tanya and Charlie and Amber and Keevon (whoa) and Dylan and JAMES! and Foy and STEVE! and Captain-Canada-James and dude, I just can't remember all of them). It was a nice surprise to see Steve at the Beatmania machine (I thought it was someone else at first), and it was great to see James (Crackoon), I have no idea how the heck he kept it secret that he was back from Japan... what a crazy boy.
I guess the kinda cool parts were seeing things like James and Dylan AAA'ing their whole card once, including a bunch of songs together, and seeing James-Canada freestyling on the 5th mix machine, and watching everyone enjoy Into The Groove, and seeing how good some people have gotten (like Phylicia, I think I was better than her at DDR last I saw her and now she's well on the way to Amber-Tanya levels). The uncool thing was all the barrelstoppers who kept pressing the clear buttons early before I had the scores written down. I kept threatening to write down all zeroes when people did that, and I almost did it for Zalf when he did it the THIRD time and said "Well, I got 9" and I'm like "Ok, what were the freeze arrows? What were the perfects?" Geez.
Ok, so anyway, I was kinda worn out after Heavy Tech so I took off. It was already like 7:30pm by then anyway. I nearly fell asleep on the road about five times coming home, it was REALLY getting kind of frightening. I took a 20-minute half-nap and then drove to Redmond 'cause I promised my friend Brian (Grunkemeyer) that I'd stop by his little halloween party. So I did. It was just like 5-6 people and we played some game on the XBox that was a whole set of mini party games and I dunno what it was called but it was kinda silly. After that we sat around talking for a while, and it was a little weird since it was like all Microsofties and me, but I got used to it after a bit I suppose. It was good to see Brian's new house at least. It's GIGANTIC and out of control, seriously. Lots of lofts and big wide open spaces and all.
Today I chilled in the afternoon playing PP, and then went to dinner with Chris at a seafood place called Flying Fish down in Belltown, which was a little overprice and yuppified like most Belltown establishments, and I had tasty (if spicy) tuna. Then we went to Cinerama and saw Garden State, which was really very good, and I should go find Guido's email address so I can tell him it's showing at Cinerama, since he might care. Arr.
PP is frustrating me because they keep changing the spawn rates and the market prices and the apoth demand has totally gone away. On the other hand, I don't really need to worry about money in-game much. Arr. Also, tailors on Guava just aren't as good as tailors on Turtle.
