A lot of this in my future

Yancke hosted a LAN session yesterday at his place, which was stupidly cramped. We played a lot of Warcraft 3 custom scenarios in the form of DotA, some pirates one, and also a tower-defense one. The directory we got off Waynne when he shipped DotA out to all of us is chock-full of other random maps which we would like to try out at some point. There was also some UT2004 action going on, but that proved to be a bit too stressful while we were playing Onslaught. Eventually we moved on to Invasion, which is always great, and we did pretty damn well on some of the levels. Dave's machine still crashes and burns on Tokara Forest for some reason, which could be a faulty gfx card or some driver issue. I was totally not in the mood for RTS, so we avoided Dawn of War and C&C:Generals (Zero Hour). It was 3am before the last die-hards packed up, but I managed to force-of-will myself out of bed this morning at the appointed time.

Hockey on Saturday (which btw was the reason we lanned on Sunday rather than the less ludicrous Saturday) was a disaster. We went 1-0 up, and then we just lost it. To the tune of 1-6 by the end. Terrible. Hopefully summer-league and indoor (when it eventually starts) will be less of a fuckup. I'm intending on playing indoor seriously, like going for trials and practises and everything, so I should probably start working on my fitness now. Indoor is hardcore. If you're not prepared, you die. So, less junk food and more exercise for me, I think. I wonder if this is enough motivation to coax me into the gym.

Saturday evening I went with Yancke to a friend of his birthday thingy at some place in Obs (under Stones, just by the left hand entrance opposite Armchair). Chilled evening of chatting and drinking, beat the hell out of staying at home and fucking around. Although, Zen Chuzzle is mighty persuasive...

My aunt and uncle (and their two kids) were down from Jozi last week, so I had dinner with the family on Friday. Was very pleasant, and their little girl Christine is totally adorable, and very polite. I was supposed to meet Al, Julie and Colleen at Oblivion afterwards, but by the time I was done they had moved on to Stones. As I was arriving, Julie was a little the worse for wear so Colleen took her home, and Al and I hung around and chatted for a bit, then went through to Gotham to see what was up. Alas, they were closed, and we ended up going to The One Ring to hang around until they closed up. Then we made our slightly-wobbly way home. Al was at the LAN on Sunday, so he obviously made it back okay =)

And after that, I now sit here trying to fix the mistakes my coworker in the states has made. And it is quite terrible, believe me. I might just have to refactor the whole page, but I hope not. Here's hoping...
