Yesterday was a very driving-intensive day for me.

Woke up and went online for a while. The blogs were in pretty much the same shape I left them the night before, so not much to catch up on. Chatted with some folks. Cathy said I was a weirdo for being up so early when I didn’t have to do anything until 4. I can’t help it, though… I can’t sleep in to save the life of me. Gave Peggy a wake-up call at 9. Talked some more online, and both Cathy and Peggy asked for rides to campus because they missed their buses.

Back home and watched a couple episodes of GTO with Will. He’s been blazing through them… I think he finished re-watching the whole series in the last two days. Went to Nugget to try their deli for lunch because Michelle J told me last week it was really good.

Will got bored and rented one of the Devil May Cry series. I’m not sure which one. Watched him play that for a bit, then Drew called and asked for a ride to Paint Chip because he missed his bus.

Home again and back online. Checked up on my usual webcomics, but only one out of three was updated. Looked for new manga chapters, and there was only a new One Piece out of the dozen or so series I read. No new anime or anything to get. Just checked blogs as they got updated for the most part. Also chatted a bit.

Then it was time for the project. Picked up Wei-Li, Drew, and James R, and after a couple of delays, we were off. Got to the Bingo Palace late, but they didn’t mind. Most people hadn’t shown up yet. They had us start with the usual… two flashcard games. James R and I had Money Maker, and we owned Drew and Wei-Li’s Four Seasonings. Actually, the first game was pretty even. Smoking section wasn’t that bad this time… maybe because we didn’t stay as long into the night as the first time I did this project. For the second round, we really did own Drew and Wei-Li at the selling. Mostly because our game, Lightning Poker, had maybe a quarter of the cards that theirs, Jackpot Jewels, did. After we finished selling out games and got our money counted out, the coordinator sent us home. I guess she doesn’t want us to be calling winner sheets and stuff like they had us do before.

Dropped off everyone, took a shower, and called up Peggy because we were supposed to hang out and watch MPD Psycho. When I called her, though, she passed the phone to Joe immediately, who told me everyone was hanging out at his house, so I should come over, which I said I would. Then he hung up. Peggy called back a minute later, and was like, “Why did you call me again?” I guess she didn’t remember our plans. I reminded her, and she was like, “Oh, OK, see you later.” I start driving to Joe’s place when I see Peggy coming from his place to mine. I told her to go park at my place, and we’ll go back to Joe’s, since I told him I’d hang out with him for a bit.

Get there, and it turns out that people aren’t hanging out. They’re studying. So I was like… “Eh… I’m gonna go now.” After taking a quick look at Joe’s computer, anyway. While I was fixing it, Peggy chatted with Mommy Van online, and we decided to make a pit stop at Chaparral on the way to my place. Went to A4 first. Mommy Tang, Esther, and Dorothea were hanging out there. Mommy Tang gave Peggy some matching shoes and pretty much cemented her “Number one daughter” status. Which must have been a bit awkward for Esther. Quote came as we were leaving.

“All these people” meaning three other kids of her’s. So then Peggy took her by the hand and dragged her to a dark corner of the apartment. Weird sucking and slurping sounds commence, and Mommy Tang staggers back into the living room looking like she had just been drained by a vampire.

We were going to stop by Mommy Van’s apartment after that, but Mommy Tang needed to return a video to 49er by midnight, which was only minutes away, so I offered to do it for her, since it was on the way back to my place.

Back to my place, and we popped in MPD Psycho. I was looking forward to it, because it’s by Miike Takashi and the manga was really good. Unfortunately, the show was slow, the story was changed, and all the gory stuff had been digitally blurred. (I guess Japanese TV is pretty censored.) Peggy fell asleep, and I decided to stop it after the first episode.

She went home after that, supposedly to go to sleep. But we ended up chatting online until the wee hours before passing out from exhaustion again.

Oh, and this post isn’t longer because you threatened me, Peggy. It’s longer because I had a full day. If you - this goes to everyone who reads the Dinhternet - want my posts to be longer, take a moment or two and make sure I’m getting properly entertained.
