My life is like an eternal weekend
Today I went with Sam Pinansky to the Beaver Valley Mall to play DDR 4th mix. We had lunch at Chick-Fil-A, and now I'm pretty convinced that it agrees with my stomach for DDR-playing purposes, a lot better than Burger King does (see this entry for that story). Anyway. There weren't nearly as many people there today. It was just us for a while. The guy with piercings from last Saturday whose name I don't know showed up at one point, and these two highschool kids were there playing for a bit, and Chris the guy who works at the arcade was there for a bit, and that was about it.
I played in my red chucks and my feet didn't hurt quite as much as last time. I tied them tighter, so maybe it led to them slipping less, etc... I don't really know. I did try playing in my black slipper shoes and that didn't work very well at all. I still dunno whether I should go buy new sneakers.
The right side of the machine has one sensor shot on the left arrow. That's not usually such a bad thing (there are four sensors after all...) unless you're specifically trying to gauge how well you're doing on some songs for purposes of practicing for a tournament, and the four you miss because of it actually make a big difference. Bleh. Chris says they'll have it fixed by then, I hope they do.
Anyway, I came home and was indecisive for a little, and then Eli and I ate dinner (leftover chili) and I wasted time on SimCity and then we went to see The Man Who Wasn't There in McConomy at 10pm where we ran into several random people. I saw Erik from WhizBang who is also being gainfully unemployed, and I saw Arvonn Tully, who I hadn't seen in a really really long time, and Marty Zinkevich (Kaustuv's officemate who I know from vball and stuff) sat next to me and Eli with a buncha people. And jcreed and Martin and Kaustuv were all there too, and some other assorted lounge people.
The movie itself was... really wacky. I would recommend seeing it, although I don't know if I will ever see it again. It was a really dark comedy by the Coen brothers. Keep in mind the only other Coen movie I'd seen was Blood Simple, so now I figure all of their movies involve Frances McDormand cheating on her husband and someone getting killed in a very bloody and freaky way and then the rest of the movie dealing with that fact. Billy Bob Thornton, who I don't really like all that much, did a great job in this movie, which was also a high point of it.
Hmm, I wish I knew what I was doing for the rest of the weekend. Not having definite plans for anything (well, Sunday is sort of planned out, but it always is) sort of makes me sad.
