... and it's absolutely terrible. I picked up a cold over the weekend (Danielle did too, I think she had it first because I've got it the worst). I'm pretty much bedridden today, but I manged to make it to work yesterday. It sucks so much ass... I'm going stir crazy, but the WORST thing is that I don't have the DRIVE TO PICK UP AND PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES. OH GOD. HORRIBLE!!! It's okay, I watched some deadwood and drifted in and out sleep. Now, Danielle and I are sitting in the living room watching some TV (Danielle is also doing homework). I feel pretty crappy, but this tea I'm drinking is going down smooth... aaaaaah.
On Friday night, I went to Chuck and Alice's new place in Bedford for a kick ass potluck. Danielle, Omar, Chris, Jess, Gordon, Sam, Samantha, Sean, and Rob (I've never met him before at length) were all there as well. I made a GIANT pot of Chili (it was still boiling hot even after being off of the burner for 2 hours), which turned out great... I've kind of got the recipe down to a science. A delicious, spicy, tomato-y science. Omar made a delicious salad with peaches (?) in it, Chuck fixed up some chicken/rice/veggie combo, Chris and Jess brought an antipasto platter and some mussels, Gorgon and Sam brought broccoli salad, Danielle brought a cake, and I think everyone else brought along dessert. After we ate, we sat around, talked, and listened to music for the night. It was a great night. I really like the set up that Chuck and Alice have there. The living room is great for everyone to sit around and talk in. Oh yeah, photos...
we're kind of blurry (I was feeling blurry for sure)!

Totally super cool awesome
Woo hoo. We've got to have another one of those sometime soon. It's great to have everyone around eating/talking/everything else.
Yeah! So on Saturday night, Danielle and I were going to go see Batman again in theaters (we had free passes) but things kind of run aground in terms of time... we went out to dinner, but we somehow expected that Bayers Lake would not be busy at all and that we'd be able to get ourselves some supper at a sitdown place in less than an hour and a half. Anyway, after we realized that our plans had hit the fan, we decided to say "fuck it" and just take it easy. We headed over to Future Shop after supper to pick up Buzz! for the PS3.
It's a quiz game the covers a TONNE of topics. It's great though, because you can play it with 4-8 people locally, online with people, AND if you ever get bored trying to tear through the 5000+ questions, there are user generated quizzes (I already made a Simpsons one) and expansion packs that can be downloaded. Sean and Omar ended up coming over that night, and we played a few rounds. I would have settled for one, but some other people got addicted. HA.
I worked on Sunday, but I could really feel being sick coming on (on top of worrying about the "hurricane", which was not much around here) so we decided to call it a night and take in some TV. I worked again last night, but I felt DEAD at the end of the night so Danielle and I came home, watched heroes and hit the sack.
Anyway, I'm going to sit tight here tonight and watch a movie or something, but I'm SUPER excited for next week on Tuesday. Sean and Omar are coming over in the daytime and we're going to start playing through MGS4. OOOOOOOOOOOOH MAMA!! I've been waiting a few weeks to start this, and it'll be fun to play a fuckton of the game through with the guys.
I'm done for the day though. I can't believe that I got this far today.
BOO-URNS TO COLDS! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

PS-> I want to wish Chuck good luck for his trip to Montreal tomorrow. Have fun, and kick some ASSES.
PPS-> I was going to write about the financial crisis in the states today, but I lack the energy. That'll be another post I guess.
