Last night, I decided to go w/Jay to the party for the Tablet. The couple that hosted it (one of them is the music editor) have a pretty amazing assortment of arcade games in their basement...Super Pac-Man, Mario-Brothers and some other stuff I can't remember...They have about 10-15 games, which takes up alot of space, but alot of people drank beer and played video games. I tryed my hand at some driving game, which I sucked at, and also at some alternate version of Asteroids...Galanga, or something like that...which I also sucked at. I haven't attempted to play video games in an Arcade style setting in a LONG time. I stayed away from the pinball machine. It's funny and neurotic but I think I have a slight pinball phobia...I can't really explain it...playing pinball freaks me out. Don't ask, I know it's stupid!! I found myself sitting alone alot of the time cuz I didn't know anybody and Jay was trying to be a social butterfly, but I didn't feel self-conscious..just tired after awhile. I sat by the table with food and kept eating all the chips and potstickers they had laid out. I listened to people talk about things (such as 8 Mile, which I'd just watched before I came to party, and Scotland, PA, which I saw a couple weeks ago) and other such conversations that I had not part of and was too shy to interject opinions into. I Just smiled alot:) I ended up talking to this pretty Filipina-American girl named Kathy. She reminded me of a stripper in a way..she was dressed pretty provocatively. She kinda looked like Carmen Electra. We kind of bonded cuz she was there w/her boyfriend (who also worked for the Tablet) and she didn't know anybody. At some point, Jay and I and Kathy were looking at some strange "Research" book...it was on Piercings and Strange Mutiliation....Kathy suddenly said "OH, can I play with your hair?" and I didn't mind, but I thought to myself "My GOD..is this girl..HITTING On me?" It made slightly uncomfortable cuz I didn't expect it. Jay said he thought she was hitting on me, and later in the car he said he was jealous. She was 23 and very ditzy but very sweet. I was glad when we finally left the party.
8 Mile was a guilty pleasure. I actually enjoyed it, though I'm not an Eminem fan. He does have the ability to come up w/some really clever rhymes...mostly he's just a fool, though.
This afternoon we watched "The RUles of Attraction" which had good moments, but overall left me feeling flat. It was all style and no substance. Had a fairly good soundtrack, though.
Well, I'm gonna try to eat a falafel and wash this dye outta my hair. Oh, I dreamed last night that I was continually breaking eggs (that were on the verge of being spoiled) in my hand..just crushing them. I wonder what this symbolizes?
