And the grad weekend stuff continues. Granger's out having fun working at the grad church service thing and Mermac's sleeping on the couch so I've once again gained control of Granger's laptop for blog posting purposes.
Did all sorts of things since last I posted. First I got my gown and crap. Then Runner and I went up to visit Yume and Cynon (they've got a pretty nice place and it's Mudcreek adjacent! :P). Then we had a potluck type thing at Granger's place. Some good food was had by all and as is usual with potlucks there was waaaaay more food than we actually needed so Granger and Patrick (I don't know if he has a internet name so he'll have to be called 'Patrick') aren't going to need to actually cook meals for many days to come.
Following the potluckness was some drinking and hanging out. We ended up spending a sizeable portion of the evening playing a trivial pursuit themed drinking game. You took one of the stacks of cards and asked the person to your left a question (they chose the category). If they got it wrong they had to take a drink and try another question (till they got one right or till 3 cards where done. Personally I'd have prefered just till they got one right but whatever). Surprisingly fun (if geeky) thing to do.
Regretably pretty much everyone was done by 12:30. Mermac and I, however, not being ones to end our evenings when it's barely dark out yet decided to venture over to the Axe for some further drinking and to see who was there and such (the Axe was open until 2 last night). Unfortunately, however, upon arriving we discovered that there was a $5 cover (to get access to the Axe and the Mackean room and there was some band playing called 'Barnacle'). Seeing as it was 12:45 at this point, neither of us thought it would be worth paying $5 to get in. If we'd gone at 10 or 11, maybe we'd have been willing to pay that kind of money but certainly not worth it for only a little more than an hour of being at the bar.
So instead of the Axe, we ventured down to Billy Bob's and got some pizza. It was kind of fitting in a way that Murray and I, the only two people in our little group (at Acadia) who were part of the original 'going places late at night for food' group waaay back in my first year. It'd have been even more fitting if Fergi and Wilson could have been there as well but it was still kinda a neat happenstance.
I've gotta two the whole stand around outside for a bloody long time before the convacation thing actually starts thing in a little over two hours and I still need to shower/eat/etc so I should probably get going (or get not moving in a different way at least).

Another easy one for most of you out there, I'll wager.
