Tomorrow is Yesterday

Damn, I com­pletely missed a day of posting.

Oh well… yes­ter­day… went to work. Came home and got invited to join Jimmy P and Dorothea’s APhiOmaz­ing Race team. But we needed a fourth, so IMed every­one on AIM look­ing for some help. Got my LB to do it! We went to Avalon and got the fes­tiv­i­ties started. The first event of the race was that we got dropped off at Davis Com­mons and had to sell some ran­dom items and find a way back to Avalon. Well, lit­er­ally, the instruc­tions were to run back, so our team took off run­ning as soon as we got there and sold the junk to some stranger at the Quik-​E-​Mart. We didn’t know that the pro­ceeds went to the Tsunami Relief Fund, either, or else we could have used that in our pitch. Any­way, got back to the lounge to find that we were the third (out of four) teams back. Had to go find a plas­tic Easter egg in the bushes and deci­pher the pager code mes­sage inside. The mes­sage told us to go talk to “tall guy” Will War­riner and find out why he was spe­cial. Then we had to build a free-​standing tower taller than him to get on to the next event. Chuck’s team started first, but Takemori’s team started sec­ond and fin­ished before we started, while we ended up beat­ing Chuck’s team. Then it was on to the next event, down­ing two gal­lons of milk and twenty-​four hot dogs. With­out yakking. Oh, around this point, Chris tried to steal our mas­cot, but I stopped him. Then Jimmy P stole Chuck’s. Score! I took about ⁴⁄₅ of a gal­lon and four or five hot dogs for the team. Takemori’s team fin­ished and moved on to the final event at this point, and Chuck’s team and Kappa Sig’s team joined us. We killed all the dogs and had about a half gal­lon left when Jimmy P couldn’t hold it any­more. It was OK, though, we took a time penalty and con­tin­ued to the last round, where we had to col­lect puz­zle pieces from the pool and assem­ble them. We fin­ished a strong sec­ond. And the other two teams gave up. After that, there was sup­posed to be a Take­mori­Comm meet­ing, but my stom­ach was funny and I was tired, so I just passed out.

Yesterday’s quote:

“Wouldn’t it be eas­ier to just take a paper towel and wipe that off?”- Clay­ton, talk­ing sense as my LB got the yak hosed off him.

And then there was today… yet more work. Then watched the new episode of Naruto when Eddie C came home with Sophia, so I watched an episode of Lost with her. It wasn’t one of the new ones, but oh well, I’m will­ing to watch old ones, and this way, she’ll under­stand every­thing in the new ones when we do watch them this week­end. Took off to TapEx after that in the hopes that peo­ple would take shit from my car. No luck with Andrew’s skis, but Peggy did take her sleds. I felt bad, since the stu­pid crew kinda tore them up at the lake on the last day of Win­ter Retreat. Got talked into going to Baldo’s… it was Peggy, Sophia, Eddie C, and me in one car, and Joe M, Ian, Jenny, Bran­don, and Emily in the other. Wasn’t hun­gry at the time since I had some level 5 chicken at TapEx, so just got a box of carne asada fries to go. It feels like a waste to walk away from Baldo’s empty-​handed. Then we went to the ARC and watched IPhi In Your Eye’s first IM Bas­ket­ball game. We won, of course. There was a vic­tory cel­e­bra­tion at Kim’s, but I decided to go home. Esther brought Tina H over in a mad dash to get her sigs done before this week­end, since she was going home for the week­end, and wouldn’t be able to make it to Last Sup­per, either. It was fun… Eddie C, Jack­son, and I hung around Esther’s car in the park­ing lot for a while. I had to run back inside to reset Assas­sins, and they finally left.

Oh yeah… yes, Assas­sins is still run­ning. I had to reset the tar­gets to true ran­dom selec­tion because every­one in the game was going after one per­son. Not exactly the fairest.

Oh, and another announce­ment… we’re now most likely look­ing for a four-​bedroom place to live next year, because it looks like Peggy and Vince will be join­ing Joe M, Ian, Eddie C, and me.

I guess that’s it for now…

Except for today’s quote of, course:

“I already signed it five min­utes ago…”- Eddie C, hand­ing back Tina H’s sig sheet after Esther yelled at him for grilling her with ran­dom questions.
