into the end we go

I think what I really enjoy the most about my Minecraft server community is that I finally, finally, finally feeling like I have the brothers I've missed. It sounds weird to say, but that's how it feels. We're companions - we fight dragons and mine stuff and build giant night clubs out of netherbrick and glowstone and have industrial music dance parties on the internet and play stupid games and call each other names and laugh. I'm probably not describing it well. But I absolutely love it, whatever it is. It's a good crowd.

(We did actually have a dance party, after a dragon killing adventure in the End. Raze plugged his music directly into our channel to broadcast and aside from a few blips caused by lag, it was amazing. We did celebratory shots, and I actually danced in the living room with the sound on the speakers. My calves are going to hate me in the morning, but I feel so damned good.)

We went to the movies but the projector was broken! The nice dude at the Drafthouse gave us some raincheck tickets. Because we were already there, we decided to have dinner at the Highball. It was a magnificent choice. Originally I ordered the curry chicken soup, but they were out and only had this cream of asparagus. The waiter didn't charge us for the soup because of the mix up with the kitchen. We ate the house chili on corn chips, fried tamale balls and onion rings, along with banana pudding and decadent chocolate mousse. Plus I had a lovely Moscow Mule that was the perfect balance of smooth and tart. It was one of the nicest, most lovely and delicious meals I've eaten in ages so I made sure to tell the waiter before we left.

I cleaned up around my computer desk and rearranged the cables to make life easier. I'm already happier.

I feel really good. I hope that lasts.

Tonight the moon was a slender upturned crescent, with Jupiter straight above and Venus just to the left. It was gorgeous.
