Oh! I feel it! I feel the cosmos!
So I told Matt at work I'd try to update tonight, since he was pointing out to me today that it had been almost a whole five days since my last post, but I have about 20 minutes and there's just been so much going on I feel kind of overwhelmed. Everybody made it just fine for the New Year's shindig, even though Walky had to drive to Cincinatti to pick up Maggie and then Maggie went to the hospital. If I had realized that people would be arriving as early as the 29th I would have taken more time off work, but you live and you learn. Next year I might just have to take the full four days off, if we even have it in Columbus again. We spent an inordinate amount of time at Walky and Steve's playing Katamari Damacy, which Steve got Graham for Christmas. If you don't know what it is already, well, the folks at Penny Arcade will do a better job of explaining than I. I also did some real-life lurking and got through Feel the Magic on my beloved DS. I picked up Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles at the game shop we went to on 5th Avenue, but that turned into McFly and Chip and myself sitting there getting heckled by five other people, so we didn't play a lot of that. DDR never quite worked out, either, and as best as any of us could tell, including Maggie, who reads Japanese, you needed multiple carts for Pokemon Dash's multiplayer. But three of us did sit around Steak and Shake sending crude drawings of genitalia to each other with PictoChat, so we got to do some DS multiplayer. And Katamari Damacy was good enough to overcome everything else. We didn't take any of the consoles (other than the omnipresent handhelds) to Ron's for NYE Proper, but I took my tape with a couple episodes of Challenge of the GoBots on it and we had Steve's Headmasters dub set. I had forgotten just how bad the spot of, erm, unfortunate animation in one of my episodes of GoBots was. Three of the Renegades are clearly gang-raping Leader-1. I have been told a clip of this is readily available on the internet, which I suppose isn't surprising. But it's really even funnier when you're drunk. And on Sunday we played Paper Telephone, which is always a comedy goldmine. Especially when, like me, you use it as a chance to make fun of Pat Lee.
Okay, I should really get to bed. I start classes tomorrow, and I still have to throw all my stuff in an appropriately large backpack. Wish me luck, I'll let everybody know how it goes!
Damn, I hope I haven't forgotten how to learn...
