Nathan and I went out to the course to play a game since the weather wasn't great for hiking. They have recently renumbered the course and added a couple of new holes to make up for the ones that were taken out from the flooding.
We had a good round, with me somehow almost acing the last hole. It's a considerable distance from the tee and I rarely get anywhere near this basket on my first shot.
I met Jamie at Kawa later for dinner. Her sushi was entertaining. I had the vegetable curry which I requested extra hot. It wasn't. It's never spicy at all actually. Those little peppers on the menu lie.
I picked up Shannon and we went to her friend's house in Brigantine where we played water pong for a while as we drank some beer. We lost a lot of games.
There was another gamed called Nemo that was suggested so we learned the rules and started playing. At that point a bunch more people had showed up so we were crowded around the table trying to bounce a ping pong ball into a cup before getting skipped. Either way I was enjoying my Troegs Rugged Trail.
At one point the game stopped completely so everyone could dance to Sandstorm. I was in the same position as the guy at the end of the table.
They called a cab to take us to Atlantic City so everyone had their last drinks or shots and got ready to head out.
We went to Ri Ra Irish Pub in the Tropicana where I had some lower quality beer and we danced to the cover band Sugarbuzz. They were pretty good but I always think that cover bands rely on everyone drinking and singing along to the songs.. which we were doing so it was fine.
We stayed there for most of their three sets. They played a lot of good songs and the girls got on stage with them at one point to dance and help sing. There were a few strange people in the crowd including an older guy that was dancing behind me for a while. He seemed pretty out of it.
We called the cab to take us back to the house and had the driver stop at Wawa for some much-needed food and water. After hanging out at the house for a while I dropped off Shannon and came home. Aside from some minor drama the night was a good time.
We spent most of class talking about the current art market and the extravagant prices that contemporary art is being sold for at auction. We also got our first draft papers back. If I knew Hottle was going to go through it so thoroughly I would have done more proofreading. It's just a first draft so it doesn't count against me but I also didn't think he would be concerned with such detail on this draft.
I got a parfait for lunch with Brian and then had a meeting with Keith where we decided which photos to enter into a gallery competition in Philly. I edited my images and uploaded them to the site for consideration. We did our class evaluations for Web Design (yep, it's that time already again) and then went into the thing I complained most about on the form: a long, long critique that took up the whole class.
I got a new headlight and brake light for my car since they were both out at the same time. The brake was easy to fix, but the headlight was conveniently blocked by the battery. I had to drive home with one light out and get Chopper to help me out with it. I think they make it that way so you have to take it and pay someone to do it. Lucky I know someone.
I met Katie at Larry's to work on designs and exchange some ideas. We had green tea smoothies which are really just sugar and ice but they're pretty good. We got some things done and departed.
Chuck and I convened at Applebee's to talk over the pilot script of Don & Chuck. We got chips and dips while we discussed. We didn't actually rewrite anything at this point but we came up with some overall changes and some minor tweaks to the story.
I came home and read for a while, watched some things until a late hour and then went to bed.
