the pit

ouch. this weekend really hurt me bad. i think every weekend has for the past month. i don't understand why i keep doing this to myself. our friend hani came up from beaumont to visit us. he, his sister- ramona, her friend- john, our friends- eric, akash, mike, and jeremy and i hung out Friday night. we played several card games like "spoons" and "kent." there were really fun...more fun than any other card games i've played before because they involved more physical action.

Saturday, we went with hani to go buy the lord of the rings collector's edition and some stuff from fry's electronics. then we went all over town trying to find him the game risk- lord of the rings version. we finally found it at a toys-r-us store. while we were there, jerms and i finally found the game we've been looking for for ages. it's called the pit, it's another card game that i played once during the christmas holidays at a friend's house. i've been trying to find it ever since. i was so excited. hani, eric, john (ramona's friend), jerms, and i played the game till almost 5 in the morning. it was insane.

Sunday morning we woke up around 11 and went out to eat at the place called "juan in a million." it's this locally owned mexican restaurant. the owner personally shakes your hand as you walk into his restaurant. it's pretty cool. the best things about this place is that you can get a huge meal for only 3 bucks and it's pretty damn good.



they all really wanted to play another game of the pit afterwards because ramonna didn't get to play it the night before. we ended up play for four hours straight without notice of the time. the game is so damn addictive. this was really good for john who is muslim and practicing the ramadan right now. he was starving but couldn't eat till 5:30. as soon as the clock hit, he was raiding our pantry. heh. i couldn't take that religion for sure.

anyhow, they left after that and jeremy and i went out to eat by ourselves. i then tried to do some reading for my paper. i thought about trying to write but i'm just too drained. such is my life. i always screw myself. so now i'm taking a LOOOONG break from my paper research. this semester has to end soon.
