The first thing I read.

Okay, I've been bouncing between wanting to do a video blog, and just screwing that over and writing an entry, and that's my excuse for lack of this. But today is just...well, was uniquely off enough that I have to write about it.

Ever get one of those feelings that the forces of the universe are against you? That was the kinda day it was. I mean, just in genreal for me waking up at 8 in the morning without an alarm clock going off is a bad omen. And that's without even mentioning *edit*.

Since about hte middle of the week, we had actually had plans for today. It made sence: Kill a lot of birds with one stone. Get people to hang out (with anders who has been even more reclusive lately cause of...well, signs say school, but who knows. I mean, he hasn't been around to tell us why he hasn't been around (*edit*). Plus, I'd pick up Madden '06 on the way to meeting my Burnout 3-- uh, my friends, and we'd play for a while, then watch a buncha Gundam offa netflicks. Plus, the Burnout 3 and Madden '06 would be on my memory card and help me get a true 100% on Burnout: Revenge.

That's a lot, right? Wouldn't be to bad if some things went wrong, right? Well, ALL OF IT WENT WRONG.

First, I couldn't get out of the house. All the extra morning time led me crazy, and so I reorginized the shelves above my T.V., and then that just ate a lot of time so I forgot that I needed to do laundry too. Got it done, even if I was late leaving.

Then, you know, the battery in my car was dead. Ain't that a kick in the nuts.

Well, not that bad actually, because the whole day just led me to not wanting to go anywhere. But, well, pops was around and he knows how to fix things, so I eventually got on my way to Anders'.

Town was packed, so I skiped the rental part and just went to Anders'. Have I mentioned I hate town?

Finally at Anders' (an hour late..at least), turns out only Nicky showed up, and that Shaun kid never did cause...well, statistics say it's because he sucks. Tim actually would have been a replacement better then the origionally planned person, but no one actually realized how available he was until about 10 minutes before everyone left, so...that was fail too.

Me an Nicky went back out (Anders stayed behind to make sure his house didn't burn down) and found a spot luckily, and then went in the clocktower. And of course, they didn't have Madden '06. Neither did Joe's video. It's possible that it doesn't exist! I have to go look around some more to make sure I'm right about things... But still, this means I can't start my B:R quest again yet, and apparently Arjay has my Burnout 3, so I need to get that back too... But I digress. Nicky and I came back with Ikaruga instead, and we learned something. That game is freaking hard. I like it, but it's freaking hard. We gave up on that pretty fast, and switched over to the promised Gundam.

Well, tried to. The disc was broken when it came out of the envelope. Sucks soooo much ass. So, we switched over to Madden '05 (GRRR...so close...) and, actually, it went well for everyone but Anders, which is new.

1st half: Nick - 18 anders - 0
2nd half: Nicky - 32 Anders - 7.

It's funny. I'm not good at that game, but Nicky was the one who let a goal get through. Well, the game ended and Nicky and I left. Figured it was best to cut our losses, and I still had an essay to write (I got it done before I started this post...I guess I'm responsible or something...).

Okay...well maybe it was more loss-cutting for them then for me. Since like...friday, Krystle was asking if I could help her scan something, and I said maybe today if there was time when I got home. "Thanks" to the lack of success of the rest of the day, there was some time. So she came over, I scaned her thing, she helped me prove I fixed my wacom tablet (that's not a euphamisim. She doodled something in photoshop while it was open for the scan, and doing so unknowingly proved that I know what I"m doing when it comes to computer troubleshooting.), and then I walked her home.

There was a nice sunset.

Really, anyhting that sucked about the morning didn't matter once we saw that together. And really, everyting since then has been easier to deal with. Granted, nothing bad has actually happened. Mom came home and I helped with dinner. Worse thing was writing the essay, but I actually figured out what to write while I was walking back home. Soo...no trouble actually. Plus, I actually got the proof that the snowflakes outside my window in their glowyness looks totally sweet awesome in my room when it's dark. I'll prove it to you. Damnit.

Still, that sunset with Krystle is stuck in my mind. It's good to have stuck in there.

Oh yeah...Comic is almost done. One more page to draw, then the Photoshoppoing, then just print some out. I gotta do the comic math...

I go bed now.
