Every Day an Adventure

Today I did some shopping (mostly getting stuff for people back east) and I also saw the new bowling alley with the arcade with the IIDX machine. I played one game on the IIDX machine, since I hadn't played at all since May or so when we went up to Canada for IIDX Red. I really should play more... maybe now I will since there's a machine. Anyway, I did play 20 November. There were two guys there who seemed reasonably nice. Matt-Met also showed up right as I was ready to leave, because I played one game of DDR (so I could play 20 November on that too), again not having played since May, wasn't warmed up at all and had a dry throat, so my sinuses acted up and I started coughing up a lung. I hadn't had that happen in so long (funny, running at the gym or playing volleyball or such doesn't set it off), but it's always seemed to be DDR-related, goddamnit, so I guess it's a good thing I don't play anymore. Stupid health issues.

Oren and I went to Blue C for dinner because I figure I won't have sushi again for a few weeks. Then I came home, and I watched my DVD of Harry Potter and Sirius Black, while trying to finish sewing up my PP banner. I suppose in theory I could just bring the damn thing east with me and work on it there... I've gotten all the hemming done and the flap for the dowel at the top, now I just need to sew on the fringe. I'm such a slow hand-sewer though that I'm estimating it'll take me another 3 hours which I'm not sure I have.

I GO TO PITTSBURGH IN LIKE 2 DAYS AAIIIIIEEEEE

Yeah. It was fun. The Mariners lost and I didn't even care. Writeup's on Marinerds. For the stitchers, you should just look at the pictures (click on the one I posted here), since it'll pretty much show what kind of stuff they had. There were basically a whole bunch of tables up on the Lookout Landing deck with yarn and other craft stuff, including a lady who was spinning wool into yarn. It was neat. My friends and I went and knitted and watched the game, and Beckie even won one of the cool raffle prizes -- those were seriously nice kits, with lots of yarn and needles and patterns and other stuff.
