stormdogOoh, ooh; time for Sunday! Let me see, what did I do?
Andrea slept in while I worked on the game computer again. Turns out there's some kind of bug in the joypad recognition part of the latest version of SNES9X that's all over their forums. Well! I grabbed the next oldest version and things seemed to be running much more smoothly.

serintha suggested earlier in the week that I come by on Sunday to watch the video version of Fresh Aire VIII, and perhaps touch up her toenails, so somewhere around two o' clock I finally got up, moving, and showered, and headed north.
The movie was very cool; the most memorable part for me was the last vignette with a theme centering around the Egyptian concept of the judging of the soul by Osiris(?). The music made me wonder though. Where does the what we think of as Egyptian music come from? Did any music from ancient Egypt actually survive to the present day? Are we basing our concept of such on modern Egyptian folk music? Or is it just entirely made up? Maybeevilviolist knows. *tilts his head inquisitively*
While the movie played, I cleaned the remaining polish from Serin's nails, put a new base coat on, painted them, and put on a top coat. With appropriate drying times in the middle, that got us just about through to the end of the movie! The color of the day was a rich burgundy with sparkly bits. I think the lavender really suited her too, but there are far too many colors out there to not try them. I'm thinking maybe a baby blue next time. What do you think Serin? *giggles* I am looking forward to next time.
After that, I broke out Puppy, having brought it over to play some old-school fighting games with Todd. Unfortunately, the somewhat questionable hard drive that I'd put the emulation stuff on chose the trip over during which to fail entirely. Not even showing up as a drive in the Windows disk manager combined with a very disturbing repeating clunking noise that hard drives are not supposed to make equal 'big uh-oh'. Oh well, Todd has an eighty gig drive he's going to sell me that will give me enough room to put a bunch of movies and things on it too, so I'll get it going sooner or later.
Anyway, instead of Street Fighter II or Killer Instinct, we sat down to Bloody Roar II and Tekken, which is not such a bad thing. I had a great time getting my tail repetitively handed to me and look forward to more once I'm able to kick some tail of my own with Chun Li in SFII or Orchid in KI.
Dinner for the lot of us was take out Chinese that I immensely enjoyed trying to eat with my hashi yet again, even though I managed to drip sweet and sour sauce on my shirt when the morsel of breaded chicken I was about to consume did a quick half-twist off the ends of my sticks. At least I was able to wash it once I got home.
And I guess that about covers things through Monday morning. More to come later.
