...party aftermath; QUILLCADE is coming...

Heather’s surprise party went off very well. She figured it out on the way to Joe’s, but at least the party was good. I had more than a few rum-and-cokes, all with an excess of rum in them. I was not feeling very good the next day, which caused me to have to pass on the Scarlet Whore show. I think in the future I am going to stick to good old beer…

However, my special way of making rum-and-coke is now going to be a recipe. “Quill-and-coke” is the name, folks. 60% rum (a mind-numbing amount of rum at that), 20% ice, the rest coke. The brand of coke matters not. For the rum, I recommend Bacardi. Nothing compared to the “Annihilator” mind you, but still a very potent alcoholic treat (or curse the next day, whichever).

@Vince: Again, I’m sorry your Council isn’t all you hoped it would be.
@Scott: Sorry you had a bad trip this time around. Things will get better.
@Andrea: I’m sorry about missing the show.
@Beaver: Read your journal…sounds like you had a fun weekend of drinking. “I have to work on my paper.” Yeah, right. Ah, well…it’s your loss. You would have enjoyed the party, had you come.
@Joe: You’re the total man.

About that last comment: Joe worked on the graphic for the marquis of QUILLCADE last night. I was there to help out with what I wanted for the vision. All in all, the marquis alone is impressive as shit. I’m sure Joe will post it on Gimbie so you all can see it when it’s done. I’m also going to ask him for a print of it that I can hang up in anticipation of the building. We also looked at some options for buttons, toggles, and controllers. When this thing is done, it will be the one arcade machine to rule all others. I’m not making an overstatement there. It seriously will be the highest level of pimp-shit.

Things are going well with the Bug Juice Web Log. I’m glad. Things are well with the Juice Wars blog, too; I just want to move on to the next fight in the tournament. I’m holding out for some more votes on it, hopefully that happens today.

Joke of the Blog:
Two employees for the gas company were at a house call. The younger man said to the older one, "Geez, you're old!"
"Yeah, that may be so, but I can still outrun you," replied the older employee.
"How about a foot race to see if you’re right," said the younger employee.
With that they start running at full speed around that block. The older man kept up with the younger man around the first corner, the second corner, and the third corner. As they come up on the last corner, the younger man sees an elderly woman running as fast as her legs could carry her. Puzzled by this, they both stop ask her why she was running behind them. The old woman caught her breath and said, "Well, you were at my home checking my gas meter, and when I saw you running away, I figured I'd better run too!"
