Fuck you Microsoft...

ARGH. Had a complete entry for the entire weekend in here, but IE6 just ate it. -_-

I don't have much time to recreate the entry I was writing over the past half hour, but I'll try.

Saturday morning: I finished the project, as the last entry said, but ended up taking it to campus to print out at the computer labs there, since the layout was screwing up with the printer here. At campus, it screwed up even WORSE - not only did the layout problems continue, now the Japanese text was coming out as gibberish. I had to devise a quick solution since I was running short on time... ended up launching Photoshop 5.0 LE, screenshotting all the text (since it DISPLAYED properly), and pasting it all back into the document, replacing the text. Some distortion resulted in this, but I didn't have time to worry about minor things like that. Quickly assembled it, and ran to the classroom, where I give it to Cristina to deliver to Yamashita-sensei. I'll apologize for not going to class on Saturday.

Saturday afternoon: Went to pick up Patty as planned, and we call Kevyn as we head towards his house. When we get there, he is in the middle of showering, and we shortly head out, first to a very crowded McDonalds (there was a line for the 5-car parking lot - what idiot makes a McDonalds with a parking lot smaller than my driveway?) then to Chris's house. Travel time is average since people can't drive when the road is even slightly slippery. In any case, we arrive, but Tiff is not there. Kevin (confusing, eh?) decides to set up his PS2 when we arrive, and finds that he had brought DDRMAX, but not his memory card. Luckily, I still had mine on me, so we use that. He takes the half hour to complete the Hardcore 21 oni, so we have all unlocks. Kevyn leaves after that. Shortly after that, Patty takes my car, and half the people, to SF to pick up Freestyle and Purple Flames. Shortly after that, Pakman arrives with Hanna and Clara, and we start putting up party decorations. It takes around an hour for Patty and the others to return, due to traffic. Party continues on, even though Tiff doesn't arrive until 10pm, and only stays for an hour. Pakman, Hanna, and Clara leave since they can't stay the night, and I go to sleep while Patty and others stay awake and apparently talk and do other stuff until 4am. (Sorry for lack of detail, I'm in a hurry and don't feel like re-writing what I already wrote...)

Sunday morning: Pakman and Clara return, with breakfast-type stuff. I end up eating 3 pieces of hash browns, 3 pieces of bacon that were somehow stuck together, and a biscuit. We watch the entire Fruits Basket DVD. I feel somewhat nauseous towards the end, and after it's over, I head upstairs, where the food decides it was better suited to reside in the trash can than my stomach. -_- (Note: Pepsi on the way up is the most foul taste on the face of the earth.) Since I feel sick from this, I end up calling in sick from work, even though no one is available to cover my shift. I need to go there to personally apologize for this, since it means James (the manager) was stuck there for the entire day with no help whatsoever. Basically, I slept it off, and we ended up playing some Bomberman, then Chris went to play more Resident Evil 0, while more DDRMAX (US and J), ParaParaParadise, and some Taboo! were played by the others. I finally get a AA in Sobakasu - full combo with 18 greats, and all OKs. I also burn a copy of the DWI/StepMania files I don't have. We pack up to leave at 6, long past the time Patty was supposed to return home. I take the pads back with me (we had been using my Ignition 2.0 and regular RedOctane the entire weekend) but leave PPP behind since my PS2 still isn't finished being modded. When I get home, I watch KareKano DVD2 again, and go to sleep after finishing it.

Feeling better today, at least, but still going to avoid greasy foods, since I think that was what caused it. Good weekend, except for that vomitting thing -_- Now, going to head to Suncoast to apologize for yesterday, then I'll probably head to CP, then to Dave's.
