Seriously, between the opening fight sequence and "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!" the price of admission was worth it right there.

Well, today was fun. My cousin's husband recently got his masters degree (in computer science with a concentration in cybersecurity), so we had a party to celebrate. The funny thing is that his parents decide to have the party at a sort of funplex type place. It's not quite an amusement park, but it has a few rides, an arcade, a minigolf course and a go-kart track. They actually rented the party room, which is hilarious because these types of places are generally rented out for parties for kids (i.e. no older than maybe middle school age), but I was the youngest person there. I'm 28. Even better, it was Star Wars themed, with a bunch of Star Wars themed snacks ("Wookie Cookies, Hair buns that are basically rolls, lightsabers made out of pretzels dipped in frosting, etc.) Basically the party was something that you'd normally throw for a 12-year-old. It was a lot of fun though, since along with the food we each got three ride tickets, a bag of arcade tokens, and free mini golf.
Naturally I ate too much, went on the go-karts, and after that came as close as I've ever come to making myself throw up by riding a Tilt-A-Whirl and the weird Octopus ride in quick succession. I also managed to win enough arcade tickets to get some some decent prizes too. It was a good time all around. Very nostalgic.

I gotta admit...I'm totally jel. I remember places like that as a kid. We had two; Jungle Jim's and Dreamworld. The latter closed down due to a rat infestation, but Jim's still going! According to my cousin it's still got the early 90s era vending machines and everything!

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I haven't gone to a place like that in years.

My new furniture should be arriving any day now! I guess I should take pictures of the finished room, since I've talked about it enough. Then it'll be pony, millennium falcon, GW stuff...can't wait!

Nice. Which reminds me, I need to finish unpacking a bunch of my other stuff and put it out.

Ha! My old employers rang me up asking for me to come back. No way.

Did they at least offer you a raise or something?
Also, I spent the last half hour boiling eggs.

Were you boiling lots of eggs? That sounds like a long time for boiling eggs. And no, no raise offered. And they wanted me on worse hours. So yeah, stuff that.

Of course. ;p
Anyway, yeah, I'm making deviled eggs for a cookout this Sunday. The reason it took so long is because my pot isn't very big and I only put like 6 eggs in it at a time. I'm only boiling a dozen, but I couldn't fit them all in. The other thing is that to make them easier to peel, right after boiling them I dumped them in ice water. And the actual boiling takes over 10 minutes each.

I didn't know putting them in ice water helped peel them. I might try that. Make a change to scrambled. And I hope the cookout goes well! I'm building my furniture this weekend. By Sunday I'll be flying. Sorry, did I said flying? I meant sitting comfortably watching pony.

You do have quite a bit to catch up on. I'll be busy having a cookout tomorrow.

A season and a half I believe! And damn I'm exhausted. Don't build furniture in the heat.

Yeah, I'm pretty tired, too. The cookout was a resounding success, though. Pretty much the epitome of a Memorial Day barbeque. Hamburgers, hot dogs, a ton of side dishes, throwing a football around, such. Good times.
