Got an interesting piece of wisdom from my cousin over IM a couple days ago...

a new understanding of finals:
Fuck, I Never Actually Learned Shit.

Ended up going to Springfield yesterday. Before that, I tried to get to the transfer center at MC but gave up after trying to find a parking space for 20 minutes. -_- Going to go again in a minute, maybe now I can find parking. Also went to Suncoast to see if I had to work on Wednesday - yep. My LotR plans are officially canned. -_-

Finally made it to SF around 5pm thanks to traffic. DDR MAX2 was back up, so I played a little of that, and a lot of SC2 ^^; Alanna was there almost the whole time. She's a pretty fun person to talk to =P Eric and Harold were there - apparently, Eric is staying with Harold for a week. I'm told he doesn't work for Namco arcade anymore o.O Together they actually passed MAX 300 and MaxX Unlimited double by each taking a side ^^; Patty, Stacy, and Pat all left an hour or so later, while Josh stayed with me. We ended up going to Chris's house afterwards.

Copied over the DDR MAX J save, and started playing doubles on controller, kinda the same way Eric and Harold were at the arcade o.O Bounma also brought back a live Christmas tree - note, live trees are a pain to stand up properly when the trunk is at an angle ^^; Borrowed Wangan Midnight Racing, and went home... I played Wangan a bit when I got home (got another secret car, above the one we got a couple months back), then went to sleep.

I'm planning on staying home until at least around dinnertime today - I do want to finish that ADV project ^^; Hopefully there isn't too much trouble with the contracting since it's so late now...
