hit the batcave last night for the first time in a while, and i actually had a lot more fun than i’ve had at a club in ages. gundam came over beforehand and we got started on the evening’s drankin’ while playing some tony hawk 2; a uniquely satisfying combination to say the least. then we ordered chinese and watched the matrix for the millionth time. spencer and i used to have it on all the time when he lived here, even if we weren’t paying attention to it. it got so we could recite most of it, which [i know] can not in any way be perceived as anything other than dorky. but so gundam and i headed manhattan-ward around eleven and reached der kave at around midnight, in time to catch the tail end of the cruxshadows show. i’m not a huge ’shadows fan, myself, but it was entertaining nonetheless. tons of people were out who aren’t normally, and there was surprisingly little drama despite the presence of so many people’s exes. i stayed till about three forty five, and snarf, who i know through jim, was sweet enough to give me a ride home. we ended up getting hopelessly lost in the bowels of brooklyn, but we finally asked a car service guy how to find ocean parkway and it was all good. i got home around five thirty this morning and slept most of the day.

i guess my parents are going to be in town this week; the plans are sort of nebulous but i’m under the impression they’ll be hitting the city sometime around tuesday or wednesday. i’ve been living here for a year, but neither of them has ever actually seen my apartment so i suppose i was about due for the inevitable visit. looks like i’ll be doing some cleaning tomorrow.
