I woke up late today, got my act together, and headed to the Lemon Demon show in lovely Kingston. It was at Niel’s house, which is by the library and in a pretty nice section of town (though really, what in Kingston isn’t nice?). The grass was squishy from the downpours that had occurred earlier, and which I was lucky enough to avoid. Chris, Josh, Matt, and Corinne were there, along with Dr. Kate Noyes.
It started to rain just about the time they were starting “The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny”. We stayed for about half the song and then headed out. Chris and Josh and I headed back to Josh’s house, and then headed off to Kingston to go bowling at Alley Kat. Corinne met us there. The place is pretty crazy; the scoring is all electronic. Regardless, it didn’t help our game; I won the second game, but overall, all our scores just plain sucked. At least they had candlepin. 
After a few games of bowling, Corinne took off and us guys headed to Josh’s house to get his car. We got stuck in traffic on the highway and were singing Say Anything’s “Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too” really loud with the windows down. A lot of old people were next to us as we were belting out the tunes.
When we got to Josh’s house, we played a fleeting round of Guitar Hero while Chris took care of some business and then we were off to Hanover, where we spent $82 at Outback Steakhouse. We got a big plate of cheese fries, a bloomin’ onion, and three big meals. Josh also ordered his first alcoholic beverage at a restaurant! After some questionable (and embarrassing) encounters with the waitress involving the phrases “she’s got to have tits, too” and “when you can exploit girls instead”, we were thorougly stuffed.
Later, at Chris’ house, we played Monopoly. After a grueling multi-hour game, I won with $17,781 in assets. But as Chris smartly remarked, victory at Monopoly is totally unrewarding. It’s, like, “Wow, I just spent four hours winning Monopoly. Whoop-de-fucking-do.”
I also had some weird dreams about dehydration, parking cars in treehouses, computer hackers, and puncturing said hacker’s thoat with a pen refill. Hmm…
