Yeah, friday was the first time I'd gotten really drunk with Jim, and I must say it was fun. Now the vomiting did kinda put a damper on things later, but what really made me pissed about the evening was how I slept through a golden opportunity to tie someone up. (Who wasn't too bad looking either) Jim apparantly resorted to punching me a few times, but to no avail. Eventually they just pulled the leather sportcuffs off my arm and used 'em; I woke up about 4 hours later when Eric gave them back to me. And incidentally...
Samus Aran, I love you.
Really, you have no idea how much fun Metroid Prime is. I've gotta say the controls leave much to be desired, but the rest of the game is so fun that it doesn't matter. I'd get Jim to agree with me but he's probably too busy playing his copy. When he came down he told someone that all the stores in Seattle were out, so being the good friends we were (who just happened to know the Wal-mart in southtown had like 16 copies) we all pitched in and bought him one. I think he almost creamed himself.
And speaking of people creaming themselves, during the 2nd to last song of Tool's set, Triad, they brought out the drummer from Meshuggah to have a little drum-duel with Danny Carey. I won't say I've never seen anybody move their hands that fast, but I will say I've only seen one other person move their hands that fast. I think I blew 4 or 5 loads in my pants. And me without my tape recorder. Meh, I'll just have to find a bootleg of it.
1) I was unable to get any clips of Greg impersonating Wob because the hard drive in his computer (my only means of recording sounds) had a head crash. And speaking of head crashes, boy did we get stoned.
2) The Adult Superstore chain in Las Vegas is thoroughly amazing; the store I went to had two full stories of pornography, and a good third of the first floor was toys. I was really amazed. And stoned.
3) Greg's apartment layout is exactly like Jim's old apartment, which is odd because Jim lived in Reno and Greg lives in Vegas. While I was stoned I'd often forget which one of them I was visiting and subsequently attempt to order pizza from a good 9 hours across the state.
4) Did I mention how incredibly fucking stoned I got? Really, I can't remember; I got residual effects like a mofo.
5) While I didn't return from Vegas with all the things I was hoping for (the phone number of a woman from Vegas besides Sheena, for example) I did finally get that piercing I'd been trying for. So as not to offend by accident, I'll just say it is in a place that won't be seen by most people. Surprisingly, I wasn't stoned when I got it.
1) I will be going to Vegas this weekend to visit Greg. If at all possible I will return with several clips of him impersonating Wob. I will also return with several new *ahem* toys, but you probably don't really want to know about that.
2) Andy has been missing on Sundays, which is the pre-arranged pickup date for comics. I'll have to track him down and menace him with a spatula until I get some answers.
3) I have discovered much to my surprise that as of the end of this semester I will officially have my Pre-Engineering associates degree. Only a step on the way to my CS degree, but still a start.
