Saturday 3-12-11, So Awesome

For tonight this will be my first blog entry. There's definitely a possibility of more than one entry tonight (as I already have one that's about a quarter of the way done) but at the moment will start with start here and move on from there. I would go on about today but not a whole lot happen with the exception of feeling painfully ill in the morning, finishing 1984 along with finishing reading 1984 and completely a good list of task on my 'to do list' for the week. Won't go into too much detail so on to Saturday.

Saturday:

Upon waking up Saturday I had a fairly clear idea that I would be spending a large amount of time over at Mina's place... little did I realize that it would turn into a 12+ hour stay, not that I'm complaining if anything I'm quite pleased at the overall stay and not driving anyone insane in the process of being there so long lol. In either case let me continue on with my story.

I found myself waking up at around 8:40ish and chatting on line for a bit before heading out on my adventure for the day. I did however neglect to clean up a bit before heading out (though Id id take care of a good bit of it today) but none the less it could wait till later, there was much fun to be had.

First stop was to the bank to cash my federal which took all of 5-10 minutes. I recall of days long past that there use to be lines at the early hours of the bank and reflected on this bit of nostalgia while waiting. Once the check was cashed I made my way down to Midlothian for the breakfast/lunch combination known as sbos. There was already a few people there once I arrived and spent the most part of the morning just watching random stuff on netflixs. This bit was a bit boring as I'm not a huge fan of watching stuff (minus esports stuff which seems to have caught my interest a bit more as of late) though the social aspects certainly can't be ignored.

Before and during the sbos there was much conversation chatting and chilling. I choose to skip the meal as I usually do. Its kind of a bad habit of mine as I really should have breakfast as it is one of those 'important meals of the day' sorta of thing. My mind seems to work just fine without i though. I might switch back to eating breakfast but probably won't be till Aprilish. After the meal was complete bits and pieces of gaming began.

Nothing drawn out was played mostly quick brief games as many people had to head off to work anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours to work. First game played was Zombie Dice after which a quick round of Monopoly Deal and Fluxx were played. Once these games were played everyone has pretty much departed in which myself and Mina chilled which lead to shopping at Kroger. One of the items gathered from there was pound cake which was all sorts of awesome. A great deal of girl scout jokes ensued as well as it seemed to be a general agreement amongst the group that girl scoots were giving there best efforts via gps, iphone/droid apps, flares and other means of communication to keep the greatest distance away from Mina as possible.

Once all the food was gathered Ultimate Alliance 2 was played in order to kill time between letting butter melt. So much to the extent that we forgot why we were playing it in the first place. As time past more people began to make there way back for more entertainment that evening. The rest of the night was spent playing Rock Band (finding myself getting a lot better at it), Dominion and Choronaughts. One of the parts I enjoyed most was introducing new games to people which is always a great feeling and look forward to that continue. Though there's always those games I wish I could convience people in playing that don't get played often but not much I can do there :p.

I left during some late hour of the morning full content of the time which was had. Of course there was great detail for each part such as who won each game, watching of Emperors new groove, and reassembling the Star Ship Interprise but they seemed unimportant to the overall story. On to Sunday!

Sunday:

It was one of those typically Sunday's after an awesome Saturday. When your brain enters lazy mode and you honestly don't feel like doing anything. To be honest the most I did was watch HoNcast. The rest of the day was pretty much watching SC2 streams with rave/trance/eurodancing playing in the background. While I must admit the results of the HoNcast match was a bit disappointing it was overall entertaining. Though I didn't find myself going to bed till about 2 in the morning which I regreted today...really need to stop staying up for silly reasons...that was Sunday for the most part. I did read up on some of the Dominion expansion rules but I'll still need to take sometime to evaluate which dominion set would be best for our group. Would pose questions but don't think anyone is that deeply interested in it.

Think that's all I want to write about now so gonna chill for a bit and probably head to bed in teh near future.


Oh random note found this out a while back the command line command 'shutdown' is fantastic. Figured I'd share :).
