punched in the brain by a pixie
he rolled into town about half an hour after I got off work friday night... we hit saigon for dinner, stopped by the strip for booze, and then checked into motel 6.
we hooked up my ps2 and played obscene amts of tekken bowl, and a bit of soul cal 3.
he nodded off right around midnight (I think)...
and omg - we stopped at a gas station for I dunno what... the lady behind the counter! she's ~so~ weird, ya'll. she totally went off about how he grandfather died and left her the store, how she's wanting to move as soon as she's able to sell everything, how the only thing left for her in lubbock is her father - how she hates him 'cause he tried to kill her - how in a fit of dementia he got her in a headlock - how she "worked him" and eventually broke free - how the guy she's dating is teacher her self defense - and then some! I promise her story is longer than mine.
/me shaking head
anyhow...
saturday morning I was up a few hours before the wake up call...
went home to shower and what not...
we checked out and had a few hours to kill before we could check into the comfort inn, so we decided to stop by the buddy holly museum.
brkfst first - chicken nuggets are super yummy!
after mcdonalds we went to the museum. omfg. it was lame, ya'll. I mean... maybe if I was a bigger fan I'd have enjoyed it, but as it was I thought the whole thing was super creepy. they had a contact of his! and a box of used crayons!
/me shaking head
I did pick up some super cute pink sunglasses w/ little rhinestones in the frames...
that took us a whopping half hour, and we still had 3 hours to kill before check in time... so we drove around town... stopped by a game store and picked up munchkin (the ever popular anti-rpg!), and then eventually headed over to the hotel...
we called adrian to see if he'd play with us - he said no, so we played by ourselves.
a few hours later we called lus to invite him to dinner... turns out he & demetrius had just sat down at this indian place here in town, so mike & I headed over there.
I ordered something that was supposedly mild, but it about killed me.
we stopped by radio shack for an rf converter & a surge protector (omfg don't ask. I'll just tell you - the problem was that rca cable was not properly plugged into my ps2. talk about an overblown situation - ugh! and ~so~ embarrassing!)
after that mike & I went back to the hotel and played more video games... and had a bit to drink. I would like to take this time to say that grape smirnoffs taste just like grape soda, sour apple & watermelons smirnoffs taste like their respective jolly ranchers. and that spider tequila... tarantula - tastes like honey & lemon. oh and captain morgan's tatoo, when mixed with coke, tastes like cherry coke. and that's all the incriminating I will do, thank you very much.
this time I fell asleep before he did - last thing I remember is purchasing battle theater in soul cal 3 and him running water for the hot tub.
there was no wake up call, since we didn't hafta check out... think I woke up ~ 1300... think he was still asleep.
again I went home to shower... when I got back we played a bit of soul cal then went to china star for awesome chinese buffet!
then we went bowling irl (I was in the 60s both games... mike broke 100 both times... the couple in the lane next to us were really nice, but they played loads better than us - lol)
after that we stopped by chips to play shuffle board... I had planned on ordering a jack & coke but I chickened out - ended up with crown & coke (big surprise, I know)
we spent a while adding audio commentary to the shuffleboard game that was in progress when we walked in, then a few beers later we asked to play them... and we were doing quite well. of course, a few beers after that our game deteriorated significantly, but they'd been there longer ,', they were more drunk, so they played worse. I took a pic w/ one of the guys we beat... then went back to the hotel.
we called javi-er, whose mom answered and said mean stuff to me for calling so late (2200 - I thought it was early! 'course I also thought that was a cell number... but oh well) and then made fun of me when I apologized. guess that's why's javi-er's mom is cooler than mine, eh?
he didn't come over, but demetrius did, and we had a decent round of munchkin (fucking mike won ~again~) and also squeezed in more soul cal 3.
we beat it w/ I think 6 or 7 characters - the hardest being ivy... after 500 thousand tries I finally got her to ring out abyss.
after demetrius went home mike ran another bath while I lounged on the-best-chair-in-the-world.
we both ended up going to sleep about the same time... right around 07 this morning.
I didn't wanna sleep, though. I wanted to stay up and keep jacking around.
I beat the wake up call this morning, 'cause we all know I don't sleep much when I'm trashed... we packed up all the crap (the extra tv I brought over, the 2 rf converters, the 2 surge protectors... and a load of left over alcohol we weren't able to consume) and then tried to have lunch.
that didn't work out, so we drove around... and then he drove away.
/me pouts
I had an awesome mini-vacation w/out ever leaving town.
and I can't wait to go to austin to return the favor!
