Worked out pretty nice.

Went down to Evelyn Bay around 6-ish to hear Mikey O'Brien's "Conspiracy" which was a band playing old Irish tunes, jigs, etc.  Was good stuff.  By chance, my cousin Shannon was there because her husband Joe was playing in the band.  And as I was waiting in line to get something to drink, my Aunt and Uncle and my other cousin Jess showed up as well.  So I got to see all of them, and saw Joe and Shannon's 3 month old daughter Avery as well.  Took a picture of two and relaxed for a bit.

Then went to Zach's house to pick up him and Megan, and drove into lansing to meet Tony, Ben, Amanda, and Elyse and we all went to play laser-tag at Zap Zone.  That was fun of course, the first game we kicked those 12 year olds asses!  There were four or so "lifetime members" there as well, so getting my rank of 6/25 wasn't bad.  I think Tony and Ben both beat me that game.  Second game we had a bunch of guys that'd never played with us, and ended up in second place, but still cool, I was third on our team, but 10th out of 31 overall that time.  Ben somehow ended up way down at 19/31.  :D  But it was fun.

Afterward, we went over to Applebee's and got appetizer-type foods, and some drinks, and just hung out for a while.  Got back here around midnight which wasn't bad.  Played WoW for a bit, been playing on Alliance on Coilfang and Darkspear lately.  For Christmas, I got the Battlechest and finally got my own account after 2+ years of playing.  Sad? 

Anyway, going to go play now, thanks Bill and Ari for the comments on that last post.

To anyone that cares, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything real in a long long time.  Then again, there's probably not more than 1-2 or two of you that do.  Once again, I'll try to remember to post more often.

So I saw Cloverfield tonight, and thought it was horrible.  Horribly horrible and awful.  And sickness inducing to the point that the theater felt the need to warn people ahead of time, presumably because people got sick last night watching it.

I will of course lj-cut all this spoiler-laden description of it's awfulness and why I thought it was so awful.

( It hurts so bad... )

I've been working at my current job for 7 months already, damn.

Looking at an apartment, but I can't really swing it myself.  Between rent, electricity, loans, phone, food, cat food/litter, etc I'd barely have anything left at the end of the month, not counting car or gas, but of course, I woulnd't have a car and I'd live 20 feet rom work.  But if I wanted to go anywhere else or do anything but go to work and home...

Fun weekend.  Friday went to see Dan in Real Lie with Zach, Megan, and Angela.  Hung out and had breakfast at Denny's afterwards until 2AM or so.  Saturday, went to Karl's wedding.  Wedding was nice, Reception was a little out of whack, but was cool to hang out with everyone there.  Sunday went to Omi for sushi with Wes, his brother, and two Japanese students from MSU, Keisuke and Komiko.  Not definite on the spelling there.  Wes is taking Japanese classes, while they're taking English classes, so they got paired up to help each other.  They both seemed cool.

And today is Halloween... and I bought a bunch of candy a week or two ago so I'm all set.  Much easier than mugging a bunch of kids.  :P

And that is that, for now at least.
