It's just one of those days

It's been a few days, so I have a ton of catching up to do. I'm, as I write this, also burning a crapload of stuff to CD.

First off, I forgot to mention two really cool things that happened Wednesday night. Now, for the squeemish amongst you, the following paragraph does contain a direct reference to breasts. Female breasts. In fact, there are at least two distinct references to female breasts, as well as to me being naked. There - you have been warned.

Apparently, Lilie was having issues with her bra that evening, and kept making minute adjustments to it. Well, minute to a point. At one point, she was standing in the middle of the living room; I was sitting in the big comfy chair. She started making a lot of adjustments - she was reaching around, tugging her shirt, going all-out. I have to admit, it was most... visually appealling, watching her tug her shirt over her... generous endowments. I offered to get up and leave at one point if she needed me to or something, but she declined the offer. Which makes a decent amount of sense - we have been completely naked together, and we're still very close, and stuff. Or something like that. Later, I was sitting on the floor, watching The Daily Show and she was playing WoW. A commerical break came on, so I sat up and was playing with my phone, editing the phone book and contact list. A GGW commercial came on, and I guess she looked up and saw me playing with my phone and thought I was deliberately not looking at the screen. Which was kind of humorous, 'cause she then called me on it. (I guess that was more of an indirect breast reference on the second one, then.)

So yeah, opened Thursday, and didn't get out of there 'til fairly late. Came home, only to find that the DVD I had been burning - Death to Smoochy - to take over to Lilie's and watch with her had erred. In investigating the problem, I learned that my copy was corrupt at the end. Bummer. So I left, planning to stop at Blockbuster on the way there. I hit a major traffic jam at Sessoms, 'cause they're doing construction on the Sessoms/Aquarena intersection. It took FOREVER. She called at one point while I was stuck there, asking me if I was still coming over. I explained what was going on, but noted that she sounded very tired. She confessed that yes, she had just woken up. I offered a few times to do this some other time, if she was too tired, but she persisted that she'd be fine.

Finally got over there by way of Blockbuster. They had Almost Heroes in, so I went ahead and grabbed that too. Got to Lilie's, and... she was asleep. I mean, she was asleep before I knocked on the door and she let me in. So we cuddled up on the couch - well, not quite as cuddly as we have in past occurences, but still pretty damn cuddly - and watched the movie. About halfway through, she told me she was hungry, but I didn't catch the hint 'til about 2/3 rds of the way through, when she asked me to go get her some food. I did, and came back just in time to catch the end. Great ending. We chowed down, and she was really tired and wanted to go back to sleep, so I left.

Friday, I opened again, then came home, went to sleep, and woke up... late. That's all I remember. Went and played DDR. I called Cullen to see if he wanted to go, but he was asleep. Fair enough. Oh, now I remember something else about opening. The Coke guy was there really early - 6:30 or so, and started wheeling in the delivery as I was making burrito mix.

Coke Guy: "Making breakfast?"
Me: "Um, yeah."

He offered me "the hookup" for two BLT's, which sounded fine to me. Next I know, he wheels in a case of eight (8) 2 liter bottles of coke. I don't even drink coke, but it seemed like a fair trade. I asked around, and the only person there that really liked Coke was Ashley, so she gave me her keys as I was leaving so I could put some in her car. I put 4 bottles. Gave 2 to Megan as I was leaving as well, since Tracy really likes Coke as well (she didn't tell me, though, since she's trying to stick to Diet Coke. I would later learn she drank like a liter of it in record time.)

Anyway, other that that, nothing substantial. So I went solo to Austin to play DDR. Nothing of note there - no real crowds, no one I knew. I did take the sixth spot on Police Academy 2; put "Polar Bear" there. 'xtigerlily' was still on; I think it was at #2. 'jackalope' had been knocked off. There was one small incident, which I sort of hinted at in a previous post. I was going off on fifth mix; some couple walked up to the PIU machine (which they brought back, right next to the fifth mix - what a travesty!); the girl gave it a try, while the guy watched. She didn't do that well. A little bit later, I went over to play some Crazy Taxi while I was cooling off. As it turns out, they were playing Ms. Pac-Man, which is *right* next to Crazy Taxi. She came over by me and started talking to me. She asked me how you're supposed to do it, and I explained about hitting the pad right as the arrow hits the top - and she complimented me on my 'dancing'. It was pretty cool. Her boyfriend did put his arms around her pretty tight after that, though. As if.

Left there, 'bout 1 and went over to David's. His place is pretty big, and definitely a geek's paradise. I finally saw his computer, which looks even sweeter in person. And it's HUGE. He was in the middle of an elite dungeon, but I got to try WoW eventually. I went with a female Gnomish mage - possibly recreating one of my favorite D&D characters ever, SunnyJoy. I used the random name generator and got "Schlemilly", which is what I'm going to use when I re-create her. I had a blast, blowing up sheep and stuff. Somehow bypassed the secondary town and went straight to IronForge. It was 5:30 when I looked up next. Crazy. I was definitely sold on the game after that. Got home and crashed.

Saturday, I didn't do much except look around town for a copy of WoW, which I didn't find. No one had it. Battle.Net didn't have any; Amazon.com had some... for over a hundred dollars. I put one on hold at Hastings. I also made that really depressed post; that whole thing was just about WoW. Lilie called that night, while I was counting the stuff. I'm trying, but I can't remember exactly why she called. She did ask me about the post, though, and what was wrong. I didn't want to tell her, 'cause I wanted to surprise her when I showed up online. So, I tried to play it all off, but she wasn't having any of that. She did say something like "Left to my own devices, I tend to come up with the worst case possible scenario, and think it's something that's going to make me angry, or upset, or jealous." Which is funny, 'cause I know *exactly* how she feels - I've been going through it the past couple weeks or so. Anyway.

Sunday, I had to work 2 - C. That was fun. Wait, no, she called on Sunday night, 'cause we talked about skating the next day. I think. It all kind of runs together after a while, which is why I hate waiting so long to do these recaps.

Monday, we went skating, which gets its own post. Hint: It contains a kiss.

Tuesday, I worked 11 - 5, came home and slept, then... um, can't remember. I think I went back to sleep again?

Wednesday was the first day of class, which also gets its own post.

Yesterday, I went to Gamestop after work and picked up a copy of WoW, and I've been playing that since.
