When I went to Christine N’s engagement party on Sunday, she was playing with one of her dogs after most of the guests had stumbled home/into bed.
“Resist!“
– Christine N, holding a piece of food in front of the dog. Then she would alternate between eating the food herself and feeding the dog a piece.
“Wow, that’s well trained!“
– James S and me.
“You should have seen his mom. I could hold a piece of food in her mouth, tell her to resist, and then pull it back out and eat it. She would shake and tear up, but she wouldn’t bite it.“
– Christine N.
Cruel, but awesome. And James S and I agree, we have not seen a dog cry before. I guess we missed out.
I wish I had that level of self-control.

You know what I haven’t done in a long time? Quote of the day!
Here’s one for today:
“Do you think if [the manager] knows I have a hole in my pants, he’ll kick me out?“
– Will N
Will said this as we ate at Phở Hoa for dinner. We told him there was only one way to find out — he should ask the manager. Or show him. So I guess that’s actually two ways?
Anyway, sorry about the quote hiatus, guys. I tell myself it’s because I’m boring and anti-social. I will endeavor to do post them more regularly. Not sure if I can do it on a daily basis again.
Oh, and a HUGE thanks to Will N, Joe M, and especially James S for your help today. I think my dad and I would have died if you guys hadn’t come by.

Not much went down yesterday. It was a nice cloudy day, not boiling like usual. Slept in until around 10. Read more of Warrior Élite. Went online around noon. Aaron L asked if I wanted Sonic’s. Haven’t been to the place since it opened, so I figured I’d give it a try.
Aaron L came over in a bit with Ian, and we were off. Sonic was still pretty crowded, considering it was around 1:30 by the time we got there. The whole drive-in thing is fancy looking, but it seems counter-productive. They should just have a regular counter/drive-through that other fast food places have.
Anyways, I got an “Island Fire” SuperSonic burger. It’s got two patties, pepper jack cheese, and a habanero sauce. Not as hot as I would have liked, but eh… can’t expect much from white folks. Also got tater-tots and a strawberry limeade. The drink was excellent… it even had bits of strawberry in it.
Stopped by Walmart real fast after that. Mostly just the three of us looking through the toy section. I was tempted. By Mega Bloks. Sounds sad, huh? But these things were pretty cool… There’s the Super Tech Spidey (with web-shooting action) and Super Tech Wolverine (with extending claws). But they have this “removable mask” feature that reveals a grey cyborg face underneath that’s really creepy.
Back to Davis. We chilled at Ian’s for a while. Aaron L and I played Gran Turismo 4 and Grand Theft Auto 3 as Ian cleaned. Then it got around time for Alice C and Nancy W’s BBQ, so Aaron L and I headed to Avalon. (Ian drove himself because he was also picking up Tina.) On the way, we stopped at my place to for me to take some Benadryl, because I was starting to hive again. Then we stopped by Parkside to pick up Thu H, who was wearing pants. Stunned both Aaron L and me.
So yeah… over to Avalon. We were just ten minutes late, so of course were among the first there. BB Diana was there. She’s always surprising me with random trips to Davis now. Had some grub, and Will Oh cooked up, even though he said he wasn’t going to grill this time. It was great. Tried to get Alice C and Nancy W to drink, but they wouldn’t. Had a beer, and I think that’s where everything went downhill. I guess the alcohol interacted with the Benadryl, and I started hiving up much worse than before.
Thanks to everyone for your concern, by the way. Except Aaron L. When I explained my weird theory about how I’m allergic to something in the ARC, since I only hive after going to work out there with Joe M, Aaron L tried to get me to go into the Avalon work-out room. Then he threatened me,
“I’m gonna rub dumbbells on you and see if it’s true.”
- Aaron L.
Tried to fight it for a while. It didn’t work. Asked James S to take me home. Took another Benadryl and cold shower. Then I passed out to keep from scratching myself and making it worse.
