11:38 am
I open my eyes, expecting to find myself still playing Hunter, but instead the title screen of Gladiator is playing on the television, my laptop is open and lying in front of me, my desktop icons are inexplicably and mysteriously missing and I can't hear anything out of my left ear except for a very slight humming sound. the clock says that it's just past four in the morning so I've apparently been asleep for quite a while. I get up and walk out to the kitchen. I notice that QP's door is open so I peek inside to find it uninhabited. I assume that he slept wherever it is he left to last night and I briefly wonder if maybe he's walking up to a similar unpleasant feeling right now. but hell, from what I've heard, waking up in an apartment not his own to find half of his auditory senses rendered incapable seems like operating procedure for him. but for me this is foreign goddamn territory to the point where I'm keeping a close eye on the treetops. I'm still feeling a bit wobbly, so I just grab my toothbrush out of my suitcase, brush my teeth, and then stumble back onto the futon to get some more sleep.
when I wake back up it feels like several days have passed, but in reality it's only been a couple hours. The Gladiator title screen continues to play on repeat and my left ear is still proving to be ineffective. both my body and mind are resentful for what I did to them last night and they are making it clear that they are unhappy with me. my brain is pounding to try to escape its skull prison and my stomach feels eager to leave my body. I lie there for a few minutes in agony, then force myself to get up and drink something, which makes me feel quite a bit better. Dave is still asleep so I grab my laptop, quickly solve the case of the missing desktop icons, and then start writing.
well, I managed to catch up a bit on what happened yesterday. Dave woke up not too long ago and we almost simultaneously realized that we had not finished off Hunter last night and then immediately acknowledged the necessity to do so, which means I'm off to do some more slaying.

we have, once again, successfully completed Hunter: The Reckoning. I don't know how many times I've beaten that game, how many zombies I've killed while playing it, or how many hours of my life it has claimed, but frankly, I don't think I want to know. actually, it would be nice to know the kill count, but I don't care to be burdened with an answer to either of the other questions.
now we're watching Smokin' Aces and awaiting the arrival of the Mexican food that we ordered from Carbon while I'm still trying to catch up a bit on previous entries. fortunately, it looks like we're not doing much today and I'll get a chance to rest a bit and enjoy a few movies.
…
well, a few hours have passed and I've made only marginal progress. I ended up focusing mostly on the movie and talking to people online while chatting with Dave a bit and commenting on the movie. right now we're watching The Kingdom, but Dave just ran out to the store with a friend of his who picked him up so I paused it.
well, I just stumbled across something that I, personally, find extraordinarily hilarious. right now I'm working on the entry for the first day. I've got most of the writing done so I'm just looking around for a few web sites I want to link to and figuring out the coding since I don't really know any html or anything. I use Firefox and I have an add-on installed called Googlepedia. what it does is whenever you do a Google search it also searches for the most relevant Wikipedia article and displays the Google results on the left and the Wikipedia article on the right. for instance, if you search for "detroit red wings" you will get these results:
search results with Googlepedia
as I was reading through what I had written on the first day, I decided that the "Auto Suck" I mentioned probably deserves some visual clarification so I Googled "auto suck 12 volt" to find an acceptable web site to link to and was quite surprised by what Wikipedia returned…
resourceful much?
now, I know MacGyver was renowned for his tactical use of common items, but his intricately improvised devices were usually conceived in order to escape an immediate life or death situation; not to get his rocks off during a boring stakeout using a car cigarette lighter and a vacuum attachment. but I suppose if I was that resourceful I wouldn't conform to conventional masturbation either.
well, back to the movie for me. catch ya later.

okay, so, I lied about getting stuff done. actually I surfed the net, talked to a few people on instant messenger and listened to the Detroit Red Wings game online. right now our boys are up 4 - 1 over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Dave's back from the store and just got done telling me a story about it. his friend, Logan, picked him up. Logan has a couple friends visiting from out of town and decided to give them an abridged tour of the city. they drove by campus and checked out a few buildings and then he drove to the south side to check out the ghetto. as Dave put it, "we went to the ghetto. we were driving pretty fast, like you would on an African safari." kind of makes me wish I had tagged along, but now is no time for regrets. we're about to finish watching The Kingdom and then some Venture Bros. I'll catch you cats on the flip side.
