• Friday Fun

  

  Friday's is a great day for me. Not only is it the precursor to the weekend, but it also allows me to do massive slacking at work. I did nothing the entire day. Other's might say, "Hey, if you slack, you won't be picked up for those job promotions." Uh huh... sure buddy. Work yourself to the bone and you'll end up like Milton Waddams searching for that one constant in your life - a red Swingline stapler.

  

  After work I dropped by the GSU Games room. The pool tables were all taken but Teresa and Jimmy were at a table. I joined in and later so did Zon and Shaun. Shaun did some major butt kicking in pool. When I'm down 4 after the break, I know my butt would be in a world of pain. Nearby, the chairs were filled by people taking part in a Super Smash Brother's tourney. Pretty cool. I like the game although I haven't played it yet. I'll be awaiting its arrival in March for the Wii. Woohoo

  We all went up to the Academy Room where the VSA was having a Post Tet celebration. We ate and played cards for a good hour and a half before heading out to Case for free ice skating. Zon, Minh, Mary, and I packed into the car as we drove up to Case. Mary likes to tease me about how I almost ran a red light the first time she was in my car. When she got in today she said I'm a scary driver with a penchant for crashing. Way to exaggerate, Mary.

  Later on I did get into a car accident. Way to make Mary's exaggeration right, Vinh! We were next to BU's Agganis Arena when I got distracted by Mary. I had lifted my foot off the brake and we bumped the car in front of us. Although the bump was slight, the bottom of the license plate was imprinted on the car ahead of us. The guy put on his emergency lights and I did as well. We were in the middle of the road so I wondered why he wouldn't get to the side so we could both survey the damage without blocking traffic. I went to his car and we checked it out. Yup, nice old imprint. We went into our cars and I grabbed my license and registration. Went back out and gave it to the guy. Before he looked at it, he asked me if I had any money on me. Haha right. I'm not going to fall for that little scam. I told him I had no money and I wasn't interested in paying that way.  He looked down at my registration. A slow 15 seconds passed by. I asked him for his information as well but he ignored me. I asked him again and he said ignored me again. The thought dawned on me that this guy didn't have any insurance on his car at all. He was a hispanic looking guy about 50ish. I know my hispanic's being from Lawrence. His english was really good though. He finally looked up and told me to just go and I jumped back into my car without another word. Ha, like I'd even bother to confirm what I thought. Back out and drove on. Later on I would find a tiny piece of his bumper wrapped around one of the bolts on my car.

  Talk about luck.

  We made it to ice skating. Despite being college students, we played tag where I fell right on my ass after doing 3 full flailing turns on the ice. Nice job chasing after the girl who played hockey Vinh.

  Afterwards we all headed down to Good Times for some go-karting fun.

  All in all a very eventful night.
