Tuesday, August 16, 2005 Adventcha!

I hadn’t written about my vacation yet, I feel I should allot some time and effort to it, because it was just that good.  It started last Sunday. Palm Springs was all I could ask for from a vacation: fun, swimming, food, and lots of booze, lots of friends, video games, Trivial Pursuit, Sardines, Murder, closeness and laughter.  Though the air was arid and hot, a storm blew in to saturate us in its humidity midweek.  An entire week all about fun and goodtimes.  Getting home was depressing and most of us felt the hard reality of real life strike.  Life would be hardly worth living, if it weren’t for moments such as these. As the work week progresses, sometimes I return there… Friday, was my first Halo 2 Party---I know what you’re thinking---and it was a whirlwind of enjoyable moments.  There was enough liquor to stock a bar, enough people for a large party, and enough Xboxes to host a large multiplayer Halo 2 game (and some DDR plus a couple of other party favorites.)  The host impressed me with projector, allowing people to play with an enormous screen.  I had my friends, I had video games, and I had lots of booze, who could ask for more? Saturday, out of curiosity, we ran into a few old buddies at Cathedral, at the Monkey.  It was a very chill evening of frolic and good company. There it is in as tiny a nutshell as ever.  The entire week was one sweet, sweet adventure.
