An event! (sorta)
I decided that a visit to see Bev, dooferlad and dugarrey was long overdue yesterday. (It seems like a month since I last saw my erstwhile housemates) Accordingly I caught the 274 to Camden, made myself at home on their sofa and kept dugarrey up until well past midnight: as is customary.
Bev had a bad day at work, was suffering from intermittent tonsilitis and, thanks to the house-mouse, a lack of sleep: considering all this, she was in excellent spirits.
dooferlad is leaving for another weekend with dua (I don't begrudge the fact but it would be nice to see you both, more often ;) ) and had packing to attend to. Nonetheless we had time to chat, eat and watch anime together; which is a complete evening in my books ;)
dugarrey, a veteran of the 4 later years, kept me entertained for most of the evening with the Half-Life 2, full-length, E3 demo and head-to-head japanese puzzle-game action...*erm?*...tron! I beat his pants (hmm, must be penny-arcade's influence) at Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, eventually triumphed at "uber-girly-home-economics-soldier-WAI!" (dugarrey: please supply name) and lost "breathtakingly-fast-balloon-bursting-tarot-tournament" again, and again, and again. I think I managed to win the fifteenth bout...
My opponent was amused at this hitherto unseen streak of masochism, which is doubtless why we had a stupid discussion at 01.00, punctuated with derisive comments about the latest music-video on the box.
