Details Of The War

I can’t believe you’re yelling at me to update when you know I had to wake up early to go to a ser­vice project, Peggy. For shame!

Yes­ter­day… jumped online for a bit in the morn­ing. Down­loaded the new Naruto and Bleach episodes, but I haven’t watched them yet. Read more Crypto­nom­i­con. Hope­fully I’ll fin­ish that soon. After that, I’m gonna go to the library and see if they have the Baroque Cycle. If not, I sup­pose I’ll have to get it from Border’s or some­thing. And re-​read Snow Crash in the mean­time. I’m not sure where that one is, though. I think Eddie C’s still bor­row­ing it.

Ran some errands in the after­noon. Ended up at the bank just as Joe was get­ting off work. The ensu­ing con­ver­sa­tion is quote for the day.

He did the later. We headed over to his place together and I took a gan­der at the router set-​up. It was a lit­tle weird, but I got it work­ing… kinda. The wire­less seems to be on the fritz, but we got it to work with his good ol’ Cat-​5 con­nec­tor. Thanks to Tom for help­ing us out by get­ting the dri­vers for us.

After that, watched a cou­ple of AMVs and then Ian came over and the three of us went to Costco and then the mall. I got some bur­ri­tos and some body wash. It’s funny… I didn’t remem­ber until I got home… my microwave is bro­ken, so I can’t take full advan­tage of the frozen bur­rito goodness.

TAK was gonna go to the drive-​in to watch Wed­ding Crash­ers, but we told them how bad of an expe­ri­ence we had last year at the fel­low­ship there, so instead we all went over to the house. I brought Jeremy’s burnt Fam­ily Guy movie, but it didn’t seem to work. Must be a bad burn or some­thing. Instead, we just watched the last cou­ple of episodes from the new sea­son. Oh, and I tried to do some ser­vice stuff at the same time. Stuff can really creep up on you! Espe­cially because of how the 31^st is kinda hid­den on the calendar.

I was going to just chill and watch the movie and go home early and sleep and be a respon­si­ble SVP. But then Michelle kept insist­ing that I drink more and more with her. There was a ser­vice shot, a Laguna shot… man… I was stu­pid. And then… she started 7 – 11-​Double. And my plans went down in flames.

I think every­one got nicely toasted last night. Joe M and Paul did jump kicks and passed out. Bran­don started pulling his pants off again. Mabel would alter­nately shove dol­lar bills down my pants and jump on me (with­out warn­ing me first about either). All while Lin was try­ing to watch Lilo and Stitch again.

I ended up not get­ting home until… 2. They were still drink­ing and stuff, but I had to go. Took Lin home, too, so that took a bit. When I got home, saw that Peggy was online, so I came back from away real fast to say good night to her. And ended up talk­ing to her until 6:45 in the morn­ing. Well, I can’t blame it entirely on her. I had to do some more ser­vice stuff, too. And sip water to make sure I wasn’t going to be hun­gover SVP at the project. But she doesn’t know that. It’s all your fault, Peggy!

Oh yeah, and I just remem­bered a quote from the day before that I just have to share. It comes from when Mommy Tang ran­domly ran up to me at Jason G’s Farewell BBQ.

And then she talked about the con­se­quences of the last time I told [some­one] [some­thing]. I’m sorry, moms. But it was too funny! (The last time and this.) Mommy Tang ran­domly reminded me again through­out the BBQ not to tell. And Mommy Van, I don’t appre­ci­ate your implications.
