So hun­gry… and arms so sore… but must keep post­ing… You guys don’t know the sac­ri­fices I make for you. :)

Thurs­day… the start of the fun! Woke up early and con­tin­ued the laun­dry. Wanted to have a Steve McQueen marathon, but Mag­nif­i­cent Seven didn’t work, so I could only watch Bul­litt. It’s a good movie, but it’s no Get­away or Papil­lon. There was also some more Literati. I was very excited to get seventy-​one points for “crankily,” it was my first bingo bonus in what seems like forever.

Got hun­gry and started mak­ing noo­dles and the kim chi dumplings that Sophia C gave me when Kitty K called me up and told me to come over for lunch, so I brought the noo­dles with me. She had made rice and a Chi­nese tomato soup, which we had first, then we split the noo­dles. Kitty K and Jane P tell me I made instant food look good. :)

Back home and chilled for a bit, and then James S called me up and told me he was swim­ming over at the freshmen’s, so I went over, too. But first I stopped at Safe­way to get two Rock Stars (for the drive down to Santa Cruz and back) and two Gatorades (because it’s hot as hell in town.) James S and Mike T actu­ally swam laps for days. I just sat in the water and enjoyed the coolness.

Soon enough, it was 6:30, and I went home to shower and get ready for Alice C’s din­ner at Sud­w­erks. I was the first one there, and Will O spot­ted me and he was like, “It’s a thing? I thought it was just going to be me and her…” Soon enough, every­one got there. We got a table on the patio even though there were per­fectly good empty tables inside. Those bastards.

Din­ner was fun. aBB was dirty. Quote comes from when Will F showed up.

“Did you get a haircut?”

- Mo W.

“Nope.”

- Will F, tak­ing off his hat.

But he did. Boy did he. Will F had a shaved head, and many com­par­isons were made. Per­son­ally, I think he resem­bles Ham­mer­head from Dick Tracy now. We chilled there until a lit­tle before 9:30, when most of them decided to go to Wal­mart. Thu H and I still had to go home and pack.

I had to drop off every­one who didn’t want to go to Wal­mart, so it was around 9:45 when I got home. Packed up by 10, then waited for Thu H and Haley to get ready. Then we filled up on gas, and finally left town around 10:30. The drive was unevent­ful for the most part. I did take 17 at higher speeds than I did last time I went down there. It was so fun! :) Oh, and we beat Peggy S to Aaron L’s house because she acci­den­tally went the wrong way on the freeway.

When we got to Aaron L’s, played some games on the XBOX, then Peggy S got there and we played some more. Then Peggy S was hun­gry, so we went to Safe­way, and she got some potato salad, and Thu H got crois­sants. Back to Aaron L’s, and we ate and talked, and then passed out. Oh, and Peggy S never lis­tens to me. Thu H knows what I’m talk­ing about; she laughed at my frustrations.

OK, back to a week of back­log to cover. I had hoped to get more done before I left for Santa Cruz, but that didn’t hap­pen. Then I was going to update yes­ter­day, when I got back, but it was so hot I couldn’t think. And Jan­ice went to sleep early, so I didn’t want to use the com­puter at night.

But enough excuses… here’s last Mon­day. Woke up and tried to go online, but inter­net wasn’t work­ing. Took Peggy to class so she could have a lit­tle extra time to study for her midterm and ran some errands on cam­pus and down­town. They didn’t take as long as I expected, so went home and called up Com­cast and bitched at them to fix my inter­net, which they did. Went online and almost imme­di­ately got sucked into Literati. The games have been get­ting harder and harder as peo­ple get bet­ter at word placement.

After a while, I got hun­gry and tired of using my brain dur­ing the hottest part of the day, so I chat­ted with Peggy for a bit. Guilted her into split­ting her lunch with me. I felt really bad about it because I jok­ingly loaded a com­ment with max guilt, and she seemed to take it very seri­ously, and I tried to turn her down, but then she came up with bil­lions of excuses, so I ended up going over there.

Lunch was very good… it was kim chi and SPAM fried rice that Sophia C had made for her. Then Peggy, Po, and I went around town for some of their errands. I got to play with brainy toys in the base­ment of the Life Sci­ence Addi­tion. I didn’t know it was there, but they are fun. And air-​conditioned. I would def­i­nitely spend all my time there between classes if I had sum­mer school.

After that, Peggy and Sophia C were going to go to Wal­mart, but I was tired, so I went home for a nap. But as soon as I got home, Kitty called me up and asked me to come over and fix her com­puter. Her desk­top kept restart­ing itself in the mid­dle of load­ing up Win­dows, and I told her a sys­tem file prob­a­bly got cor­rupted, and she would prob­a­bly have to refor­mat. Quote comes from when Kitty was study­ing as I was check­ing out her box and we were dis­cussing Poli Sci/​IR stuff.

“Want me to teach you about the demo­c­ra­tic peace theory?”

- Kitty.

“Sure.”

- Me.

“Really?!”

- Kitty.

“Yeah, it sounds like some­thing I learned in Poli Sci 3.”

- Me.

“OK, the demo­c­ra­tic peace the­ory says that there will always be peace between two coun­tries as long as they both prac­tice a form of democracy.”

- Kitty.

“Yeah, that sounds famil­iar. Tell me more.”

- Me.

“… that’s it.”

- Kitty.

And then she moved on to her next flash­card. Jane P made din­ner and they asked if I would eat with them, so I did. After that, Kitty went back to study­ing, so I went back to my place.

Peggy and Sophia C called me up, and they were going to have din­ner and watch movies, so they asked me to come over. Oh, and to bring movies. And an onion. So I went to Safe­way to get an onion (and some juice, because I was freak­ing thirsty), and got Drew from his place, since he wanted to watch movies, too. When we got there, I told the girls I had just eaten at Kitty’s, and didn’t want any, but they shoved a bowl of rice in my face any­ways. :)

We watched 50 First Dates, because Sophia C hadn’t seen it yet. She also hasn’t seen The Sixth Sense, which 50 First Dates ruins. (But it had already been ruined for her.) Then we watched some Fam­ily Guy, and Sophia C got tired, so I took every­one home.

Wasn’t tired when I got home, so I watched The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. Great movie; those old-​school Frenchies knew what they were doing. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, and it made a lot more sense to me now that I have a bet­ter grasp of the Eng­lish lan­guage. Passed out after that, because it was still so hot upstairs, I had to go downstairs.

Food, Sex, and Ewe

And then for yes­ter­day. Or as I like to call it, “National Feed Dinh Day.”

Woke up from a weird dream I had. If you’ve read Gantz, I dreamed that some friends and I had those power suits, and were fight­ing mon­sters, but ended up con­fused and turn­ing on each other.

Worked on the web­site for a bit. I couldn’t get it to do what I wanted it to do, though. I hate that feel­ing. I really need to look through all of Erik’s code and get a bet­ter feel for how every­thing fits together, instead of learn­ing about things as I try to change them. Also inputting basi­cally every pair­ing back to Toy term. I had pair­ing lists sent to me for Tran and West terms, but Toy term was all mem­ory. And look­ing through var­i­ous ImageS­ta­tions at pic­tures from our BB Revealing.

Will N was clean­ing up down­stairs, which I thought was a lit­tle odd. But I really should have been sus­pi­cious when he moved the fur­ni­ture out­side. Last time we did that was for his birth­day. But then he took me out to lunch and I thought noth­ing more of it. I guess I’m a sucker that way. Dis­tract­ing me with food works every time… keep that in mind if you ever want to pull a fast one on me. :)

Took Will N to class after lunch, and went online some more. Then it was time to head over to Will Oh’s for his Aggie Auc­tion after-​BBQ. It was really good… thanks Will! You are the best chair ever. :) Had some awe­some Korean BBQ and kim chi, then swam for a bit in the Avalon pool with Roger, Michelle, and Ben.

Then it was time for the Toyfest BBQ at Arroyo Park. Headed over there with Peggy, and we were among the first there, of course. Thanks mom­mies! You guys are the best mom­mies ever! They fed us burg­ers, hot dogs, and “xa xiu” chicken. The turn-​out was good, too. I think we had more peo­ple at the BBQ than we did for the Toy Class Reunion around Christ­mas time. Quote coems from when we were all stand­ing around the grill wait­ing for Mommy Van to feed us -

“What hap­pened, Trung?!”

- Joe L, point­ing at the trail of wet spots going from Trung’s crotch down to his toes.

“Oh, it was the water fountain.”

- Trung.

“What kinda water foun­tain does that? Where is the foun­tain, anyway?”

- Joe L.

“It’s over there behind those bushes.”

- Trung.

And then he real­ized that didn’t really help his case.

Then I headed over to Kitty’s place because Kitty and Will N had been telling me to go to Terren’s birth­day BBQ all week. Will N was pretty insis­tent on it, too… espe­cially today. Chilled there for a while… it was weird, because it was the first party I’ve been to in a while where I didn’t know every­one… it was mostly Terren’s ChemEng friends. Shiz­zle was there, though! I haven’t seen that fool in ages. :) Bao, James S, and I sat in the cor­ner, mostly. I had hella Coro­nas and took a birth­day shot of Henny with Terren.

Then Eddie came over and said some funny stuff. James S and I decided to go back to the apart­ment to see what was up. And it was a sur­prise party for us! And Ali­son, although… James S was told it was for me, and Ali­son was told it was for James S and me. So again, we had a joint sur­prise party. :) Thanks to Eddie and Will N for putting that that together! And yeah, I’m slow. And I was sur­prised. Again.

And thanks to every­one who came by to chill with me! Sorry I was a bit of a downer last night at my own party. I get weird around this time of year. Damn intro­spec­tion! So yeah, I chilled on out­side more than any­thing, and avoided the dance floor when­ever pos­si­ble. Thanks to Peggy for push­ing me just a lit­tle past my lim­its. ;)

Peo­ple started migrat­ing to and from the like four other par­ties in town, and mine fiz­zled out after a while. That’s cool, though… I just passed out.
