beats the hell out of twister

"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."

I've been staying up too late recently, so today I hope to hit the sack a little bit earlier. Anyway, today I got up around 11:30ish, had some breakfast. Jenna & Margaret arrived almost simultaneously; Margaret is now a proud Canadian citizen. Went downtown early before Mandarin, lesson was again good... I learn a little bit each time--like eating an Asian elephant, excepy with lots of characters to memorize.

Got home, mom sent me instantly to the mall to get corn & ice cream. There's a sale on pop, no-name brand for $0.49/2L!!! I was really excited, haven't stocked up yet though. Hopefully, my teeth won't rot out of my mouth before I go. Brad came over for dinner, as did Uncle Brian & Aunt Glenda (and of course their dog). T'ai Chi was good, we did almost 60 donyuus in the warm-up, and some good sets. It's too bad that I'll miss Fred's Noetic Symposium: I hope everyone else goes, it'll be good.

Brad, Laura, David, Foo & I watched "Fight Club" at Brad's this evening. Quite the excellent movie, it is. Apparently it is also a book, which I should read one of these days; however, I've got one or two other ones to get to first. Tomorrow there's a BBQ in the evening I must go to, but other than that, I hope to hang out with people a lot. Give me a call.

As for yesterday, it was of course Laura's party. Beforehand I helped her clean her house all hardcore (using FAR too much Febreeze); I actually vaccuumed most of it (in both senses of 'actually'). The party itself was fairly fun, a typical Laura-based social gathering with the usual events. I met a lot of nice people--whom I will probably never see again--and even saw Last-to-Leave-guy. There was no defining, remarkable event about the party that I can recall (no people started going out that I noticed) but I did do the "Time Warp." When I got home, talked to Jenna for a while, as she is just back, and she managed to lock herself out of her house (funny for me). 'nough said.
