rah!

I had a really great time tonight. I got to hang out with people in person! it was not the people I'd *planned* on hanging out with, however, and i apologize to them -_-

Claire, a girl in my program, thought it would be a good idea to get people together to pick up the drafting supplies we will need for one of our classes from a local hobby shop (well really it is a big chain shop, but whatever) - we could all go together, so that everyone would have rides and also all be able to find and get what we need. So, I went and did that. And then we were silly for a bit in said shop, and then some of us went out and had dinner at a big fake Irish pub the name of which I forget. They had a menu where everything seemed to revolve around Guiness, however. I had the Guiness bacon cheeseburger or somesuch. It was huge, and delicious! I am sure I am spelling Guiness wrong, but anyway.

After that, it was just me, Claire, and Leanne, and we brought Leanne's dvd player over here and hooked it up to watch Velvet Goldmine. VG is one of those films that I'm not sure how I had avoided seeing it previously, but of course enjoyed! I think those two are Good People. I could tell about Claire after I noticed she was wearing the One Ring on a chain around her neck. Now if she'd been wearing in on her *finger* I may have worried ;)

We are planning to go see Snakes on a Plane, and possible see PotC2 (again), since Claire hasn't seen it. Both of these options please me.

In other other news, obviously my home internet is restore, and working better than ever. I have also managed to set up my laptop to use the school's wireless network, so score!

I am considering seeing if I can get in to check out the local LARP game on Friday as well - we will see what else is happening. However, I definitely want to see those people some more, as they were also quite fun. There may be room for overlap as well :o

Happy Birthday to my dad, who I was not able to call as planned because of the above impromptu socializaion, and more properly to my sister, who I hope receives her present soon :o

You're not far wrong - it is Guinness.

A restaurant revolving around a beer? le sigh...Now, if it was centered around a Scotch!!! That would be the AWESOME!

p.s. glad to hear that you are getting adjusted so easily. or, at least it appears that way!
p.p.s. hope you can make it to the LARP...there are some really good folks there!
