yesterday was one of the most manic days i can remember. i was woken up early in the morning by my ceiling leaking, but put the earplugs in which saved me from having to wake up when the jackhammering started.
after escaping from near-disastrous backup attempts i went to return the oakenfold cd i got the other day because it don't play right. they didn't have another copy there so i just got my money back, which was quite surprising. since i still had it on my iPod (and was listening to it at the time) i went over to the virgin to see if they had a copy.
as i get to the electronic section, someone taps me on the shoulder and it was my friend from high school. who also went to chautauqua with me. and also went to cmu. and also dropped out. and also moved to boston.
i got the new bt single. i had heard a low-quality qt of it and wasn't v. excited about it, but after listening to it about 1000 times it's pretty ok. the best part is i now have the wingman song out of my head.
last night, inspired by the E3 trailer from 2000, phik and i decided to fire up the xbox for some one-on-one halo. and my god, what haling it turned out to be. phik won the first game (snipers, on rat race), 15-13. i won the second (phikwar on hang 'em high) 15-13 despite a solid comeback by phik. at one point in the third game (phikwar, hang 'em high) it was 9-1 phik. soon later, it was 12-12 and nobody was "it". i out phikked the phikster to win that on 15-12 to claim my title as champion.
i also destroyed phik and chris earlier in phikwar on derelict. we won't talk about rocket koth on rat race, or phikwar on battle creek.
