So last weekend was pretty mellow and relaxing. Saturday I went down to Santa Cruz with basilbadger and krominof, mainly hitting the boardwalk, arcade, and a few shops in the downtown. The thing that I like about the Boardwalk is that it never changes. Visited the place was fun because just about everything a nice retro 80s feel to it. The art, the music (though there was some modern day music), even a lot of the games in the arcade were retro, was awesome. Not to mention it is simply cool to have a carnival like amusement boardwalk right next to the beach, and Santa Cruz just has a nice spirited feeling to it. Anyways, on to the pictures behind the cut...

Well gotta say this weekend turned out to be great! Sage and Tenebris were out on vacation hitting the east coast so me and Hunter had the place to ourselves. This week was a party week, so I took it up to host the party. I was a little skeptical if anyone was going to show up since Sage wasn't hosting aside from the small handful of party regulars, but the turn out was bigger than expected and great. Hunter helped in setting up the place, I got the music ready and set it to a nice alternative rock station that was playing a nice variety of music. Got the lights set up, entertainment station ready, all systems go.

Furs came in and brought in some food to help out which was great, as I didn't have enough cash on hand to order more food that I wanted for the party doing it on the fly. They also complimented how they liked that they weren't shouting over the music like previous parties, and how the music was this weird zany mixes that Sage has. Maybe for future parties I'll take over the music department :p Aside from that, I got to embarrass basilbadger for his birthday by announcing it to everyone. There after we got the good stuff going and set up Smash Bros Brawl. Had lots of fun with it naturally, so great to be Pokemon Trainer and play as Charizard ;] The party held up to like 4 AM and a little after.

Woke up early as there was a Smash Bros Brawl tournament being held in the city sponsored by Best Buy. Few of us went to compete and it was a ton of waiting but worth it for the fun. The three of us got knocked out on the 2nd round but we all put up one hell of a fight. Fun stuff. Of course we got tiny prizes just for competing. After that I joined up with some of the guys over at Guppy's place for his birthday, then crashed with Basil for the night. Was pretty drained after all that craziness, but all fun indeed.

Gotta say I would like to put more money to these parties, as in getting actually bedding for our guests, good party music, lights, etc. Maybe that will come when I settle in to a more permanent place ;]

Went off to Fresno for the weekend to celebrate WolfBlade's birthday. I enjoyed the long drive, around three hours or so, with nothing but the stretch of road and tunes playing in the car. This shot right here is just a small portion of what I could get of the golden hills that simply make California an interesting place to be in. Imagine being able to travel and run through that.

Anyways funs times were had, the usual crew was there. Watched various things, played a few games, had cake (it was chocolate and peanut buttercup!) Caught up with some of my Fresno friends, and just nice to see some faces that I don't get to too often. Wish these guys lived in the bay so we could hang out more often, but either way we make our time together great.

Hoooo boy. Yeah I'm pretty damn behind on everything, reading, posting and updating, and so on. I'll get around to all you crazy people and your crazy lives, but for now, a bit of Thanksgiving tales.

As as you know had Thanksgiving with my parents and celebrated little Syrus' second birthday. Thereafter I met up with Basil and his friends over in Fresno. The drive served delightful despite the one or two traffic clogs, but all was well. Once we got there we went to go see Disney's Enchanted which I was pleased to have watched. Great movie. After that the rest of the weekend was spent chilling with the furs. Got to meet furs such as bladerokuno, Wolfie de Wolfe, littleevilbear, and a few others who's names escape me. All good people to meet and get to know.

The next weekend was our Thanksgiving get together. More furs came around, lilglenndoggie, grimal, sdawgy, blackberrydragn, Stich, and a few others. It was also great to see tkwolf again and meet redix as well. Had a good time, played Rock Band on the 360. Crazy thing, I sang to Ballroom Blitz that had the gay frilly voice, the orginal one :p It was a fun song to sing. Then I became a super star as I sang on the mike -and- played Bass. Hard as hell but I did it! Played other games, watched movies, talked and had a good time with everyone. Really glad I was able to visit and meet everyone, and thankful for the good times we had!

That pretty much sums up what's been going on around for the past weekends or so. Now that December is here that is lots to prepare for!
