Pete's Log: happy birthday to me

Entry #1071, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 23 years old.)

Woo. I have survived twenty three revolutions around the sun. I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this crazy trip. I had rather a fun day. I woke up late and headed to campus where I hacked on pilsner a bit. Something odd was afoot on campus, there was some "twirling" competition at the JACC, which I'm sure is to blame for the strange goings-on.

Early afternoon I ditched Fitzpatrick and headed to Bad Andy's place. Andy, Nicole Lopresto, and I watched Magnolia, which, though rather long, I really enjoyed. It was depressing, funny, and delightfully bizarre. I shall have to watch it again sometime.

After the movie we tried to find a sushi place that was open but failed. So we went to Meijer and picked up frozen burritos, ice cream, and beer. We ate a feast fit for the gods and caught some of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Then Andy and I headed out. We went to Corby's. I'd never been there before, but it seems like a fun place. It was fairly uncrowded though. We drooled at the hot bartender and then hung out a while, watching people. There was this punk guy wearing a Clash shirt who had a skateboard and was visiting all the tables, bumming beer off people. He was amusing. After some time, a bunch of Andy's friends showed up. They were cool people to hang out with. We grabbed a table, and just hung and chatted a while. Some token crazy old guy joined us and talked politics with us. At some point we left Corby's and headed to the Ultimate House. Crazy Old Guy followed us there on a bike.

Sometime after 4 Andy and I made it back to his place. We had some more beer and smoked stogies while seated on the Turtle Creek turtles. We then watched Princess Mononoke again, but with subtitles turned off, in pure, unadulterated Japanese. I crashed on his couch well before the movie ended. About 9:30 I woke up, sober, but with an urgent need to get my contacts off. So I headed home. Now I think I shall go sleep some more.
