Smile Around The Face

Today started slow, but fin­ished awe­some. I can’t wipe the grin off my face right now as I look back.

Woke up a bit… fraz­zled. Gave Peggy S her wake-​up call, then alter­nated between being online, watch­ing TV, and lay­ing in bed. Sound famil­iar? Yeah, I’ve been doing this for days.

Around lunch, got a call from Alice C that Habi­tat for Human­ity of Yolo County has a project for us. Score! Then I got an even bet­ter call. UCD called and a lady told me that I would be get­ting some­thing in the mail in the next cou­ple of days that includes infor­ma­tion on how to reg­is­ter for Fall 2005 classes! SCORE!

Watched some GTO with Will N for a while. After that, online job hunted really quickly basi­cally until it was time for the project. Took a shower and heated up a bur­rito, then I made my rounds and picked up Thu H, Jimmy P, Izzy P, and Peggy S. KVIE was fun, as usual. Except Peggy S was pick­ing on me all night. Like she broke my ter­mi­nal. :( And then she got Izzy P, who was sit­ting on my other side, to help pick on me, too. Good thing Russ, the stu­dio cap­tain, took my side.

“Stop it!”

- Peggy S, when I tick­led her back.

“Do I have to sep­a­rate you two?”

- Russ.

“He started it!”

- Peggy S.

“But look at what it says on your shirt!”

- Russ.

It was her Elmo “Tick­les wanted,” shirt.

After the project, dropped every­one off and went to Joe M’s to fix his com­puter. He wasn’t home, though, so I left him a mes­sage and went over to Peggy S’s for a bit in case he was going to come home soon. She made some great noo­dles for me, and we watched TV for a bit. Then she looked like she was about to pass out on the couch, so I told her to go to sleep, and went home. Sorry Joe M… I guess I’ll fix your com­puter some other day.

Now I’m sit­ting here read­ing some more Xan­gas and con­sid­er­ing going to bed. Oh, and to Ali­son W… you have no one to blame but your­self for read­ing this when you should be hard at work. :)

Good lord, this is the last band­wagon I want peo­ple jump­ing on.

Let’s see… yes­ter­day morn­ing… I woke up around 8. Read Crypto­nom­i­con in bed until a lit­tle before 10. Went to wake up Thuong T, but she was already up. Went online and the first IM I get is from Peggy S telling me to post. So I do. Fol­lowed by check­ing up on other people’s blogs. Includ­ing Joz’s, which I haven’t been to in a while. She’s got a post about the world’s ugli­est dog. It reminds me of the rat mon­key clay­ma­tion mon­ster from Dead Alive. It’s scary that such a thing could exist in this world.

Any­ways, went back to the book after that. That’s basi­cally all I did all day, expect for my brief moment of human con­tact when Peggy S came over to pick up Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

At 5 I went down­stairs to watch Simp­sons, and got ready to go to Ali­son W’s farewell din­ner dur­ing That 70s Show. I was one of the first to get there, so I helped Ali­son W carry the food from her place out to the pic­nic area and got the grill going. She had SO much food! Ham­burg­ers, hot dogs, and chicken and ribs that she had made ahead of time, too. The ribs were awe­some, by the way… and a fam­ily secret of hers, so if you didn’t come try them yes­ter­day, you’re SOL now.

I had fun cook­ing and chill­ing. Quote comes from a ran­dom con­ver­sa­tion I over­heard as I went near Almira V to get a drink.

“Did you know Esther P has climbed Half Dome?
Did you know Esther P used to be on the track team?
Did you know Esther P show­ered in the mid­dle of the street in Mexico?”

- Almira V.

“Are you play­ing ‘Two Truths and a Lie’ ?”

- Me.

Sorry Esther P, but all of those things seem very implausible.

Oh, and if I could record sound effects, I would have a sec­ond quote from when Esther P bonked her­self and then Dorothea C on the head with an empty water bot­tle and asked every­one around them which sounded hollower.

Soon, it got dark and peo­ple slowly wan­dered home. The remain­der of the APhiO crowd went with Alice C over to Thoreau to check out her KHOP liv­ing space. It’s nice, except for the cur­rent lack of AC.

Then back to the pic­nic area, and we decided to go to Café Bernardo’s, since I still owed Ali­son W a wikki from our birth­days. :) We got there just at last call, and got five wikkis with only three IDs. And then the bar­tender for­got to charge us. Or maybe he was just hit­ting on Dorothea C in her hot Dorae­mon shirt. No one actu­ally downed their drink with me, though. I was sad… you ruin the wikki by not down­ing it! Well, not “ruin,” but it def­i­nitely tastes best if you down it imme­di­ately, giv­ing the ingre­di­ents no time to set­tle and separate.

Oh, and I know all the ingre­di­ents except for one now! The bar­tender use vodka, (some other clear liquor) gin, white tequila, triple sec, clear rum, amaretto, orange juice, pineap­ple juice, cran­berry juice, and 151 in the straw. And this one didn’t bother with the jig­ger; he just poured straight from the bot­tle into the straws. (He did have a pourer on the bot­tle, though. It would be MAD skillz if he didn’t.) I’m guess­ing the last item is either more vodka, or maybe gin. I’m gonna have to experiment.

After the wikki’s, I think orig­i­nally the plan was to go to Sophia’s, but inter­est seemed low, so we all went home. Took a shower, and then chat­ted online with Peggy S until sunrise.

Best of luck to you in LA, Ali­son W!

Hey, look! I’m basi­cally caught up after this post. Well, tech­ni­cally, I guess I should do two more and cover today, too. But I’m not gonna.

Fri­day! Woke up nice and early and put the fin­ish­ing touches on Sophia C’s project. Drove home home to print it out and frame it and stuff. The process takes a while, so in the mean­time, I watched Robots and Princess Diaries 2 with Dong Ha. (I picked the first, and she picked the sec­ond. I don’t know why, because even she doesn’t like Princess Diaries 2.)

Oh, and I chat­ted online at the same time. Mostly with Alice C, who I don’t talk that often with, but she was goof­ing off in KHOP and wanted to dis­cuss Harry Pot­ter. And that’s where quote comes from.

“Were you upset or sad that X died?”

- Alice C.

“Just… sur­prised, I guess. I didn’t have as much of an emo­tional out­pour­ing as the news led me to believe.”

- Me.

“Yeah. At first I was in dis­be­lief. But then I thought, maybe X will come back as an inferi or something.”

- Alice C.

“Hey, I never thought of that, but that would be really cool! In a very twisted sort of way…”

- Me, going on and on about the possibility.

“… I was kid­ding. That will never happen.”

- Alice C.

If you haven’t read it yet and didn’t know a major char­ac­ter dies, sorry for spoil­ing it for you, but it’s been in every news medium known to man, so deal with it. And I’m still intrigued by the pos­si­bil­ity, though I think it’s a lit­tle too dark for Rowl­ing to use. (It reminds me a lot of how Storm of Swords ends, though.) Although… after the gob­let scene, I wouldn’t put much past her. That was some shit.

Thought I was miss­ing some­thing impor­tant, so I ran to Home Depot (which is thank­fully lit­er­ally just around the cor­ner from my house) and got it, but came back to find that it was there the whole time, I just hadn’t looked hard enough. Fin­ished up fram­ing Sophia C’s pic­ture and headed back to Davis.

As I was leav­ing the house, started hav­ing another hive attack, but I took a Benedryl tab imme­di­ately, and it died back down before it got too bad.

But first, a stop down­town to do that favor Chi Hai had asked of me. She’s a para­le­gal for a law firm, and they needed copies of some records of two Cal­i­for­nia busi­nesses. Nor­mally, they could pay a ser­vice to go get those copies for them, but sup­pos­edly lately the Cal­i­for­nia Sec­re­tary of State’s office has been giv­ing such ser­vices the run-​around, and delay­ing for a cou­ple of weeks. Well, she needed them right away, so she asked me to go as my com­pletely non-​legal self and request the copies, which sup­pos­edly would be faster. Turns out, those records were sup­pos­edly removed from the build­ing to be scanned into a huge online records data­base, so I couldn’t get them, either.

So yeah, after that, back to Davis. Stopped at Sophia C’s to drop off the project, and she fed me as well as pay­ing me. Sweet! Called up Phim­phao C, because she had wanted to do a sim­i­lar project, but she didn’t pick up.

Went home and bummed online for a while. James S called me up and told me he was going to watch some movies at Genie L’s place, so I wan­dered over there. We watched Meet the Fock­ers, which I actu­ally hadn’t seen before. It was very enter­tain­ing. Then Genie L went to sleep, so back to my place.

We watched Hostage, which wasn’t as crappy as I was led to believe by Rot​ten​Toma​toes​.com. Went online and talked to Peggy S for a while, but then I had to go to sleep, since I have to be a good exam­ple and be well-​rested and stuff for the ser­vice project today.
