Ah, the resonably priced slum

February 3rd, 2004

Had a fairly eventful weekend. Started off somewhat late on Friday night, heading over to [info]doornail’s to start watching The 10th Kingdom, which has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Funny though, just need to find the time to see the rest of it now.

Saturday I had a late lunch with Delia then picked up Tim, Dan, and Amanda to head back to my apartment for the afternoon. Upon arriving at home, I found my kitchen sink full to the brim with a somewhat murky water and the remains of what appeared to be rice. This was rather odd, since I hadn’t even used that sink in the past week or so. Called up maintainance, the first guy attempted to plunge the thing, but it did nothing, so he called in reinforcements. The second guy brought some heavier ammunition, and ended up vacuuming the liquid out of the sink and pouring some sort of acid in to break the clog. I guess the people in the apartment above mine dumped out something stupid, and it clogged the drain, causing it to flow back into my sink.

Eventually, after the kitchen was finally usable again, Amanda made us linguine with a vodka sauce, which I thought was quite tasty, despite her repeated claims otherwise. At some point in the evening I picked up Delia, and she joined us in playing Jenga and Scategories for a while. A good time was had by all.

For Sunday, we had planned to do a Godzilla marathon as a sort of anti-superbowl party, but I ended up sleeping through most of one Godzilla movie (I hadn’t gotten to sleep until about 7am the previous morning, and even then didn’t sleep very soundly) and woke up to the sounds of Dan and Tim playing Soul Calibur 2. Around this point Delia showed up, and we proceeded to play a game of Star Wars Monopoly. I didn’t do so well, and Delia eventually won, after Tim eventually surrendered.

Today was a fairly standard day at work, got some stuff done, nothing terribly exciting. This evening has been spent doing some minor cleanup around the apartment. It’s kindof odd being here alone after having people around all weekend. And to think I used to like being alone.

Oh yeah, Friday I also made up a little graph of the interconnections between my friends. Remember when LiveJournal used to have a link to do that? I’ve been thinking of having it display a different color for friends depending on how many interests you have in common with them. Just a fun little diversion.

Also, I’ve completed the first month of my diet, and have decided to share my data with the world.

    nice graph. I’m on it twice!! I shall now link to everyone else and become a major center piece of the whole of the internet…. maybe I should just buy google stock instead… or is that getting ahead of myself. anyway, sounds like you’re having fun. I’m truely glad you’ve found plenty of folks to hang out with… just don’t be replacing any “old” friends… or I’ll have to make a very long drive to “persuad” you other wise. (insert evil mob-boss laugh here). :p
