batskeetsEugh, what an incredibly mixed weekend.
Well, I've already bitched about the Bad under friends-lock, so here's the Good:
BSG Finale - It was pretty darned epic, and it was *so* fun to watch it with a theater full of fellow BSG fanboys-and-girls. I loved the swells of applause at particularly awesome moments, the tension of us all collectively holding our breath. The first hour or so of the episode was *very* well played. Second half wasn't as awesome, but it was cute, in places. Also, I need to watch the Face of the Enemy webisodes sometime.
Karaoke - By some miracle, despite the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd and insanely long rotation, I actually got a song in. I guess a lot of people left before they came up in the queue. Easy ticket to finding cool people in a crowd of lamers: cheese it up while belting out a Queen song. More specifically, this one. I've been wanting to find that, because How Can Be Lounge doesn't have it, so The Circle Is Now Complete. :D
Left 4 Dead - This game is FUN. I'm pretty darned useless at first-person shooters, but this game easily passed the "Is It Still Fun If I Suck At It" test. I dig the cooperative style of playing the survivors, and playing the zombies was really entertaining, once I got the hang of it. I wonder if the PC version would play nicely with Parallels on my lappy...
Foodery - We've had some awesome eats, lately. Boy made vegetarian lasagna a few days ago, and then there was meaty-delicious lasagna at the gaming party on Saturday. And then, Roommate made snickerdoodles on Saturday, and fettuccine alfredo on Sunday. I do love my own cooking adventures, but I love going on other people's cooking adventures, too.
Lack of Drinking - Despite doing social stuff throughout the weekend, I had exactly one rum and coke on Friday night, which I probably wouldn't have even drank, if I wasn't riled up about the Bad stuff that happened prior to karaoke. (not to mention that I inadvertently wound up getting the drink for free. Muahaha.) I'm as awkward as ever, but I still feel good about skipping the booze. It's a step in the right direction. :)
Bridal Shoot - It was great fun, and the girl I was shooting with was incredibly sweet. We did some close-ups in-studio, and then shot the rest out by the Broadway Bridge, and it was pretty hilarious walking along such busy streets with a bride at my right. We got honked at by passing cars a *lot*. XD
Friends - It was really good to see you wonderful people this weekend, especially the ones I haven't seen in for-freakin'-ever! (you know who you are!) I wish Bad stuff wouldn't have transpired and I'd have made it to the Casa on Saturday, but I'm glad for the time I did get. I can do all of the above things, but they're never as good as they are when I'm playing, chatting, hugging, ranting, even just listening to you guys.
And I definitely owe shout-outs to the people I *didn't* see, but who were supportive even from far away. 10000x hugs to you.
Anyhoo, it's Monday, and my fellow web development cohort here at The Job is out sick, which means my plate is full-up... so, I'm out.
