Mostly Semantics

As a follow-up to our ‘greatest game’ last week, Bobby McObvious asked in the comments who was going to make the official youtube playlist. I have taken that liberty. Here is the link. I took some liberties with it, cutting out stuff I just personally didn’t want to hear (since I actually will listen to this), but uh, 130 classic 90s tracks. Please do enjoy.

It started simply enough. A casual email thread, making plans with friends. I used the word “hooch” in passing and immediately got this back:

Becca: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBp7lqoyrok

Jess: OMG that’s exactly what i was thinking! relatedly, somehow i heard this TWICE this weekend:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5MjVyqByzU. and one of the times was on someone’s ipod.

To which I replied: do not claim to have not sung along, at least for the chorus, for we know it to be impossible. this is a good game. what is next? I’ll offer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDAXltfj8-Y

Eleven dozen tracks/links later and I think I can safely say this is the most addicting game I’ve ever played. (more…)

Well, CV and Vermonstrous and I, we grab some Nam Viet for dinner. And just as happened like eight months ago, when it’s the three of us we can’t get fucking served. We waited and waited and waited. The thing is, I think we’ve all been in the interim and had no problems - it’s just the combination of the three of us, they refuse to serve us. Awesome. Dinner took like an hour, and jesus fucking christ, we ordered a single order of spring rolls and pho, pho, pho. It’s soup, people. Spoon it out and bring it to us. Sheesh.

So, I was really good through beach week. I mean, really good. I didn’t eat meat, I didn’t eat carbs, I just ate fruits and vegetables. Ok, I had a nibble or two of gouda. But I didn’t even drink beer, mostly just liquor. Oh, and I went on a number of long walks and even did some of the working out things that the trainer showed me last week. I knew I had to be good because I was flying back to kansas city yesterday and the weekend in kc/lawrence would be full of temptation.
