Went to the Ren Fair last weekend. It was a blast, though we got separated from just about everyone throughout the day. Hooray for no sunburns!! Afterwords was another of the multi-annual BYOMBBQ (bring your own meat bbq). This one will stay in my memory as the absolute messiest party ever. At least at the Lilith-in-the-Box party the kitchen just wreaked of alcohol but it wasn't a complete mess. (For those of you who are new, the Lilith-in-a-Box party is practically legendary now, pictures to come soon even though I've had them almost a year now.) I'm amazed I got the daquiri out of the carpet (thank you Kirstin for slapping it out of Seth's hand! And thank you Seth for handing a daquiri to a drunk person right over my head! FYI: that stuff, when gotten in the eyes, completely blinds you momentarily.) I bought a digital camcorder the day before, finally used the $500 gift certificate I won. This camera is so fucking cool, it does night vision! I can record in complete darkness. I want to go camping and run around in the woods and then watch what I filmed.
So if you don't work at IT and/or haven't already heard all the rumors, we have between 2-3 hrs of footage from the party and many people are already wanting to see it (and many people on tape are wanting it to be erased). So I figure I got to get it onto the computer, edited, and onto a dvd soon. The problem: the stupid Best Buy lady didn't tell me I needed a firewire card in my computer! Arg! Also, the tapes are 15gb each and I don't have enough hard drive space to allow that. So don't bother asking about the tape on DVD until I buy a firewire card, a new hard drive, and a dvd burner. Currently that will run me about $230, so unless you want to pitch in, don't bother asking. At some point when I don't have class and have some free time I will make a webpage that has still images from parties and a spot where for a minor donation to cover the cost of duplicating the videos, people can "order" them. Whadaya think about them apples? Put some holes in the Swiss!!
Spring Break starts in 5 minutes for me because that is when I get off of work! Plans for Spring Break: 1) Go to the Library and take all my animal handling certification tests so that I can be an RA in the Operant Behavior Lab at ASU during the summer, 2) Write up my Methods section to my research proposal for class (yes I am actually going to run an entire experiment with my rats and write a research paper on it for my final paper in my class: Analysis of Behavior!! I'm so excited! Grad school just try to keep me out now!), 3) Finish Peak 1 in SSX 3 and get a good chunk of Peak 2 done.
And somebody still needs to teach me Beer Pong! Maybe at Mike D's party tomorrow night?? Eh? Any takers? Come on, it'll get me drunk! We all know you want that to happen. We will be getting there at 9pm.
