Is my month out of school really over? Seriously?!

So, I got to sleep in today. That’ll be the last time I get to do that for a while. Because school starts tomorrow. Sigh. On a brighter note, only 16 weeks until I graduate. Booyah.

So, yesterday. Yeah. What a dick jamming that was. The plan was to go to the Asian markets and WalMart* after 10am. I thought that that meant we would all be going around 11am. I was wrong. After finally wrangling half of the group together by about 1pm, we headed to one of the Asian markets. The other half headed to a different market, all the while thinking they were heading to the same one. And then there was the confusion about how many markets we were going to. Only one apparently. And we had forgotten to calculate lunch into the equation. Sigh.

There was a lot of me sighing yesterday. Herding cats, is the phrase that comes to mind. And then there was some talk of hooking up the Wii at my house after all of the shopping was done. Keep in mind this had to happen after the shopping dick jamming and before Pathfinder. A narrow window at best. Sigh.

And then the unthinkable happened. Jackie the Mick sent me a message telling me that Furious Jessy and Lucky were both sick and not going to be able to play. Add the stormy weather which was fucking with the electricity and innernet connection and it wasn’t a very far leap for the Rev. Dark Wombat to cancel the game for the night. 2 players down and fighting the elements to keep 3 others in the game. That didn’t sound like a fun night of gaming to him. And he is our Game Master, so game off.

That freed up my schedule for the metric fuck ton of people to come to my house and play games. Again. What Pear of Truth had brought her roommate out for the shopping shenanigans and they both came over for game night. New person for the freezing? But of course.

Mami.

And this is where the fun really began. The idea was to hook the Wii up, right? Wrong. The HD cable that the Rev. DW had wouldn’t connect to the Monolith (my nickname for his television). And the regular cable only made the picture show up in black and white. The Hell?! So, I volunteered to run to WalMArt* to grab a new HD cable. No biggie. I was the only sober person with a driver’s license that wasn’t Back Alley Trey. Plus, I wanted some time not surrounded by a hundred people so that I could catch my breath.

WalMart* does not carry the cables for Wii. Best Buy? It was 9:30 and they closed at 9pm. Bastards. Radio Shack was closed, too. Target? Nope. Mission: Failed. So, I returned home defeated and put the Princess Bride on instead. As predicted, the Asian kids all thought it was a serious movie. They were really confused as to why we kept laughing. Mami got it, though.

After the movie, I kicked everyone out and hit the sack. That brings us to now. And now is the time in which we dance.

I’m kidding. Now it is time for me to go hang out with Teacher Sis. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. More soon. ~SC
