What the KISMET?
I've had a bunch of stuff I've been wanting to mention, but nothing substantial enought to warrant an entire entry. So In brief:
I sick of getting my ass handed to be whenever I play poker. True, I'm the least experianced and all that, but I don't like to lose, and i'm not used to it. Other than that though, I have a great time when I'm playing, set up aound Bryan's pool table with the Travis-es, and whoever's there. Last night: I lost a fucking linguistic bet to Dominic (who I've been around more than I would have expected), then I get reamed at poker, and most of it is my own error, not bad luck, and then I get killed in HALO. A lot. I must say though, I'm improving. I get into double digits on the scoreboard occasionaly. But that's only against Dom, Bryan, Aaron, and Travis. Against the general populace, I'm would say I'm proficient. Right? ...right?
Then, a while back, was privvy to the worst abuses of narrative talent ever. With someone I didn't know had it in him (and another I woulden't have thought had it in her) but anyway, dramatic recitation and interpretation of graphic, and rediculously detailed erotic fiction with mixed and close company is fucking weird. As fucked up as you think it was, yeah you're right. Never breaking character, and milking the text for every auditory nuance that could be gleaned from "oh god.. I'm ungghhhhh coming". Horny teenagers reading above their grade level, oh no! Christ....
Tonight saw Showstoppers people! Went to lil' Max's house, which is always a fun time, that kid is great and crazy talented. Seriousy, we made up a game where we sit around... and make up words and do free association and had a scoring system based on how much we liked what people came up with. The awesome/pathetic part depending on how you want to look at it, is that in the right company, and mood it was a lot of fun to just sit and do nothing but make fun of each other and invent words. Zach, Cara, Hanson, the Jr. Steihmeyer, Max, Mr. Morse sat around having a gay time playing MAFIA set in different time periods (Stegoropoli vs. Tyrannosaurusses) (Goth Jew vs. Virgin Mary) (Ben Franklin vs. George Washington) I also breifly got to see Stephie and Avian which is always nice.
And work... man it's not very hard, but it's damn depressing. The talk about everyone saying how it's gone downhill post-strike, the workers not having what they need, and therefore not being able to help the customers like they should, sucks. So It's either screw the customer, or do 2 people's jobs for the same (crappy) pay. 2 people quit today from MY department. Just walked out. And the rest of the day just got worse with the noteable exception of 2 very attractive Brazilian girls walking in to order sandwiches in bikini tops. Portugeuse accent... ah.
So that's it. Nikole is in CA from TX, but didn't bother to make a pit stop in SB. So I basicly gave her the guidelines of what to do and what not to do while she's touring the coast of CA. Specificly, why Magic Mountain's a shithole.
I miss piano.
I think I'm done...
