Billy Idol=Not Simple Minds
I had quite the amazing weekend. Rachael came over around 5 after work on Saturday. I led her on a quick tour of all the webcomics I regularly check out. Then I slightly reluctantly showed her World of Warcraft. Showed her how it works, what you do, all the various doodads and whatzhits. Then it was off to Werner's b-day party.
The nerds all seemed to approve of Rachael, which while unnecessary, still a good thing. I ate a few handfuls of carrots from the veggie tray and had a soda but that was it. No chili or dessert for me cause my stomach started acting up again. Still, lots of fun was had. Malone brought over Guitar Hero and we all rocked out on the Werner's projector screen. I think it's basically Malone, me, Shaun and Freeman when it comes to GH-Rock God Status. Malone is like Hendrix on that shit.
Cute thing that happened while the boys were rocking:
Werner's little boy Rand walks over to Rachael. Rachael was sitting in a chair watching us all be silly nerd boys. Rand just hops onto Rachael's lap and proceeds to chill out for the next hour or so. Totally out of the blue. He's about a year and a half old and just started walking. He's a button. No one could explain Rand's love for Rachael but it was palpable. He even fetched her little toy balls and then go right back to sacking out on her lap. Adorable. Reminds me that I need a digital camera.
Example of Me being Me:
I don't know how it came up but someone tried to say that Billy Idol sang Don't you forget about me on The Breakfast Club soundtrack. So not true. And I knew it. I said so but duder (think it was Will) refused to believe me. Said he knew that was Billy Idol. So I whip out my crappy cell phone, pull up the web, google "Don't you forget about me" and find a wiki article about the song. It says that Simple Minds NOT Billy Idol played the song on the soundtrack. Billy Idol covered the song but I knew that cause sadly I own the Billy Idol's Greatest Hits CD. I win. AGAIN!
Anyway the nerds all started playing poker and I didn't have money and neither did Sugarpants so we hit the road. The night concluded with Rachael's first time seeing Rear Window. She hearts. Which duh of course she does. It's amazing. As was my weekend. Sunday was sleeping and super bowl and that's about it. But when Saturday was that good, it pretty much doesn't matter what happened Sunday.

Hi :)
Rand is adorable. He did the same thing, while you were out on your beer run. If Werner needs a babysitter, I think I could do it.
Good morning.
Really? Wow, that's some crazy shit. You're his favorite person ever. I think Werner even said he's never done anything like that before.
