Cats walk on the green
Today, due to not wanting to California Carpool, I ended up just hanging out at an arcade all day and Beatmania IIDXing it up, mostly. ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zqfmbg and I went to lunch at Blue C Sushi, yay, and after that we headed down to ACME Bowl, where we ran into cynic573 who informed us he'd just broken the 3 key on the left side of the IIDX machine -- but he'd also called Bill to get a tech out. So we played on the right side. As kieferskunk and farren_bronaugh also showed up, it was funny because the right side handicapped everyone except I-Gene. Soon a tech showed up and fixed the left side, yay, and we pretty much just had the four of us taking turns playing IIDX for like 4-5 hours. I actually pretty much have the exact same skill level now that I did when I played a lot, which is sort of odd, but whatever. I did get Extra Stage a bunch of times by passing 6-stars at 100%, but still didn't pass any 7's of course. Farren and I tried to play every single Good-Cool song on the machine for a couple of sets too, which was pretty funny. Later in the day, the 1 key on the left side started sticking instead and we had to start playing right side again, which sort of sucked again, too.
I played a little bit of Drummania, and I also beat Soul Calibur II arcade-mode as Taki twice. Some little kid was watching me play the whole time like "holy CRAP", which was funny, because quite frankly, I suck at Soul Calibur, at least compared to how I used to be awesometastic at Soul Edge.
I-Gene picked uplauraisback from the airport, and mightyflorist also showed up, but by then it was like 8:30pm and I was really burned out from being in the arcade all day, so I-Gene drove me home, grabbed his stuff from here, and drove back to the arcade to get Laura, and he's staying at her place tonight instead. Just as well since I have to wake up for work and all that, but it also means I need to go up to Vancouver if I want to mess around with his Pop'n'Music stuff. Hey fuj, if you see this, I need to bug you sometime.

It's even manifested itself in "Hey, why don't the 6 of us go to dinner" from Sunnyvale Golfland, and everyone starts getting into 6 separate cars until someone points out "GUYS, YOU KNOW, SIX PEOPLE CAN GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B IN TWO CARS, YOU KNOW? AND WE'RE ALL COMING BACK HERE, TOO."
So it seemed silly for I-Gene and I to drive separate cars to lunch and down to the arcade 20 miles away, even if it would have given me the option to spend my day slightly differently.
