one for three, completed the set, blew off 250, sixteen candles, molson canadian

so we go to loew's lincoln sq. at 68. this was inherently a risky move, but neither amc 25 at times sq. or loews 34 had both lost in translation and school of rock. unfortunately, we rolled the dice and lost. lost in translation was in the downstairs theater, so we could not get into the school of rock afterwards.

instead we went to barnes and noble, where i bought books 1 and 2 of the warlord chronicles, " a fantastic revision of the standard Arthurian legend." i borrowed them from steiner a few years ago. i'd bought book 3 off the sidewalk for $4 on my way to royal kebab and curry 2 weeks ago, and wanted to reread the series. they were damn expensive though... $14 and $15. jeez.

came back here, read for a while, didn't feel like going to the concert, and then went over to mara's. hamilton deli closes the grill 10 minutes before 9 pm, the fuckers. so we ordered tomo, which was really good, and way more food than i needed. watched sixteen candles with mara because she'd never seen it. it was kind of weird, because i remember watching it with mary at the beginning of junior year. that was when we hadn't talked to each other at all over the summer, and then i found out she did still want to be my friend. halfway through the movie she turned to me and hugged me, not even watching the rest of the movie. that has to be one of the only times she ever showed caring.

anyways, the movie was hilarious, as always. mara was all right. kidding! she's always a good time. heh, that sounds dirty. i came back here around 11:30 because some people wanted to hang out, and where else can we hang out but party central?

tao, sai, austin, dave, jess, and ben came. we played some up and down the river, and some speed quarters, and then we added some rules to quarters. which worked out really well. i like it. i left 2 messages on corey's voicemail but didn't get him, sadly.

i was again impressed by austin's ability to bring the party singlehandedly when he wants to. maybe that's why he doesn't do it so often... i think this is the first time since the summer that he got drunk. he booted pretty good, maybe more than once. but really, it was basically me, austin, ben and tao playing quarters, drinking heavily, and screaming along to songs and pissing off my suitemates. so great.
