The update for last weekend got eaten when the server went down. Here is a reconstruction:

I had a very eventful weekend. On (last) Friday I ran down to Indy to pick Matt up from the airport. After we made it back up he, Morgan, Terry, Sara (with no 'h'), and myself had dinner at Scotty's. After dinner I joined Terry and Morgan in line at the Neon Cactus. We hung out in the piano bar (not my favorite activity) for a while. Brad and Castor joined us after their trip to the airport. Later Wanke and the Jensens joined us. At some point I snuck out of the piano bar and Cretia and I ended up on the dance floor.

We danced for quite a while, metabolizing alcohol to fuel our rhythmic movements. Soon Wanke and Castor appeared on the dance floor as well. Scott came and went several times, and I began to like the male to female ratio less and less. Just then I caught sight of a lovely young lady named Shallamar. I didn't know her name was Shallamar at the time of course (actually with the loud music that became quite an issue: "what's your name?" "Shallamar" "Shelly?" "No Shallamar" "Sally?" "No Shallamar"). However I mustered my courage and went over to dance with her. She was friendly if a bit distant and her friends were very nice. I met Bob, Nikki (95% chance I spelled that wrong), and Joe. They were perhaps a little too nice, because Joe kindly provided us with generous shots of liquid cocaine. This proved to be a bit much for Shallamar's system and as we danced she became more distant and began to look a little green around the edges. Just after last call we left the dance floor and called her friends over. Bob invited me to join them at Denny's and I accepted hoping that we could get some food and juice into her and I could learn more about the fair lady Shallamar. However, when we got there she was not feeling at all well so we called it off. I returned home with her phone number.

(Last) Saturday was the all hallows eve party. Essentially everyone came. It was good fun. Even John and Terry were civil to each other which is a small miracle in and of itself. The costumes were amusing and pictures will follow soon. I think that a good time was had by all even though I was a particularly bad host this year due to financial concerns.

On (last) Sunday I recuperated and cleaned the house.

This weekend was much less eventful. On Friday I ran around quite a bit. I went to class, ran several minor errands, met with Professor Xie, met with Brian (my CS541 partner), and generally got stuff done. That evening I had dinner with the lovely Shallamar and her friends at Scotty's. Unfortunately I could not stay with that group for too long. I had promised Castor earlier in the week that I would play in his Wraith game if he came up from Muncie. And, true to my word I returned to the house for the game.

Saturday was a complete waste. We (Castor and Lehmann crashed in the empty bedrooms) were all exhausted from long weeks, and no one wanted to get up until well into the afternoon. Even after we awoke we just couldn't seem to motivate ourselves to do anything. We watched some television and generally wasted a lot of time. Late in the evening Castor went a little stir-crazy and we ended up going on a long walk around campus.

Today has been much more productive. I cleaned up around the house and prepared for next week. We even managed to squeeze in a late dinner with Lita before Castor skipped town.
