still vacation sort of...

let's see...tuesday got my car inspected...uh...wednesday? i think that was the night Mary Beth and i went and ate out at Las Tortugas and it was amazing...worth the hype and all that...thursday we went on a road trip to Lambert's in Sikeston, MO...we stopped off in Blytheville, AR on the way at That Bookstore in Blytheville...i read something about it being famous or something and it was the only thing to do on the way so we went...though its cause for fame is simply that it's where John Grisham does his signings and they don't even sell used books...i had trepidation but what else were we gonna do...it was lame but that's okay...there was a comic store like a block away that had a "used books" sign...we checked it out, it was better though i didn't end up getting anything...Lambert's food was not good at all, though i liked their "throwed rolls" in spite of the cheapness and i didn't see much throwed action...oh well...friday we hung out with Jacques and Amber and had dinner at Edo and it was spectacular...we had a Wayne's World marathon and betwixt the two films all the doughnut eating made us all want doughnuts so we went out and got some and that was good...oh yeah, and probably around this time that my cold dissipated so that was good too...not the doughnuts i just mean the day...and then yesterday was Jacques's birthday and there was a join celebration for Sherri's birthday as well at India Palace...the okra dish i had was like the best thing ever...oh and now i'll state that what i spent the majority of my vacation week doing was making one of Jacques's presents...a four cd compilation of NES music taken from the roms and an audio emulator...spent most of the week editing the music from a slew of games...i'm also in the process of designing the box to put 'em in...i ran out of time throwing something together and then my printer was too low on color ink anyway...well, i gave him the cds but he'll get the finished packaging later...i even made us a bit late for the party...oh well...afterwards some of us went to the cove but it ended up being crowded with a post-rollerderby group and like most everyone associated with the rollerderby league or whatever...service got bad and we left for karaoke at Yosemite Sam's...the fucking dj was even worse than usual...the same four fucking people or so kept singing over and over and over...it was still a good time in spite of it...i at least got to sing once...i sang "Dream On" and it may have been one of my best performances so i hear...we left when the same asshole who sang 50 fucking times went twice in a row and Jacques hadn't even gotten called up yet...well i worked today, but it's isolated as i have three more days off (one more vacation day along with my "weekend") so it's time to party or something...uh, excellent...
