Saturday
The day started off with coffee with Perry, Christopher, and . We went to Bad Ass Coffee. Christopher and Nox took off in search of Star Wars gaming things; Nyx, Perry and I hung out for a bit.

Nyx and I headed to the nearby Deseret Industries location so that she could find a shirt for ‘s spring party. She found one. And I found something that I wanted, but didn’t get: an organ. For $35 USD. Thirty-five bones. Too bad I didn’t have a truck handy. Or maybe that was a “good” thing. Who knows? From there, it was on to CompUSAirways. I’m looking for some new components… and I have NO idea why I went there other than the fact that it was close to where we were. Even though LS Micro has closed, there are other local stores where I could purchase parts. *shrug* I left there empty-handed, except for a Mac Mini brochure. I took Nyx home and then headed home myself.

After getting from work, we came home and then headed to and ‘s house for the party. The best way to describe it:

• Alcohol.
• Inebriated people.
• A blow-up doll.
• Cameras.

It was, as usual, a fun gathering. And, despite the fact that I have more than “a few” blackmail pictures, I rather doubt that many of them will make it to my site.

, and I left the party around 1:00 AM and headed to Cheers. I knew that I could use some light food – and water – in my system to counter the tasty alcoholic beverages that I had at the party. I didn’t drink a lot, but I didn’t want to take any chances. Things at the restaurant were fairly quiet; even The Singles weren’t too bad. And there were plenty of fashion risks/fashion don’ts to be seen, too.

• I am tired.
  I am also glad that I started writing this post before we went to the party.
