You're feeling strange...

I do realize that it's morning of the 22nd which means I didn't actually post anything on the 21st, but I have decided that this post will do for yesterday's post and then I'll post something again tonight. In theory. Most likely.

Anyway, yesterday was nice because it was the kind of productivity that was definitely useful but it wasn't really productive in a school way. I did go to school early yesterday so I could do some studying in the library before my one class yesterday, but when I came home I worked out, vacuumed, did tons of dishes, cleaned other areas, etc. Which, honestly, all needed to be done so it was productive in that way, but it didn't really make any dent in the mountain of homework that needs to be completed this weekend/the coming week. I still need to finish reading Inkheart, locate and read about five other books (although most of those five are picture books), read a good chunk of Gravity's Rainbow and write a blog on it, study for Japanese because we have a quiz/test thing on Monday, in addition to the studying and researching I've been attempting to do all quarter for all of my classes. And that's just for this weekend. Needless to say I will not be attempting to get through an entire season of Buffy like I did last weekend no matter how much I'd rather watch Buffy and crochet a new hat.

And I haven't even touched Dragon Age in over two weeks. Which is annoying because I wanted to finish this play through so I can have the exact ending I want in order to import it into Dragon Age 2. All very important stuff you know.

But last night wasn't for homework. Last night I went to a friend's apartment (same friends as last Saturday) to meet up with this D&D group that we're starting. Which, by the way, is SUPER exciting for me because it was my nerd-related goal for last quarter to learn how to play. We didn't actually play yesterday. Mostly we made characters and then we played this zombie apocalypse game where I totally OWNED the first game while playing the high school quarterback because I killed tons of zombies as I was becoming a zombie myself. The game is supposed to be hard for humans (one person plays the zombie while everyone else plays as humans) but somehow the humans managed to win both games we played. It got pretty close though.

And now I need to go do other homework and figure out how I'm getting to a book store. Which, in theory, should be all that hard except that the bus schedule sucks on the weekends and it's kind of hard to get anywhere.

I Honestly Can't Come Up With a Title so I'm Just Going to Title it This

To anyone who actually read yesterday's post, I applaud you. It was really just a long and concluded way to say I liked but was disappointed in a movie (and the media in general). To anyone who didn't read it, you can just read the previous sentence to get the gist of it.

And to anyone who thinks that this post doesn't count because I missed a day because it's after midnight, I've decided it counts because I haven't gone to bed yet. It might be 3:30 in the morning, but this is why weekends are awesome. You can stay up until 3:30 in the morning and it really doesn't matter. This is especially true for 3-day weekends when it doesn't matter so much when you mess up your sleep schedules because you have an extra day to catch up. Although it probably will mess with my ability to do homework tomorrow, which is unfortunate because I really really need to do homework tomorrow. Mostly because I haven't done any yet this weekend. I did do my laundry though, so I think that should count for something.

As for other things I did today I made breakfast for a friend and myself (pancakes! Gluten free too), watched a decent amount of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'm somewhere in the middle of Season 5, a season that is ripping my heart out), crocheted a little (because I'm still working on Christmas presents), and spent about 6-8(?) hours playing this CRAZY board game called Arkham Horror with a few friends (well, technically a friend and his roommate, but friend's roommate can be upped to friend status. I mean, we're friends on facebook, so that must mean we're friends). It was pretty amazing, but it had about a million rules that we definitely did not follow. We followed *most* of them, yes, but we definitely kept discovering rules we'd been breaking the entire game. Some of the rules we kept breaking weren't the biggest deal, but at the very end of the game we discovered a few pretty big rules that were potential game changers that we didn't follow.

Oops.

Still, it was fun. If you like crazy board games where the players work as a team to get to a goal, you should try it!

WTWA: Pretty much for the things I did today. It was a really nice day that I spent with some friends doing fun things.

Side Note: I apologize for the typos that are sure to be in this. It's 3:30 in the morning, and I need to sleep.
