One Last Halloween Party

Night of November 6th, 2009
Palm Harbor, FL
Non-Lucid

I was going up to visit George in Orlando and when I arrived at his new apartment complex I overheard two friends in an adjacent apartment. The conversation started out friendly but started to get violent. I started trying to figure out which apartment was George's and ended up opening doors to many empty rooms after I hid my stuff. George then showed up dressed up as Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4, with the exception of several Gears of War 2 icons on his jumpsuit. He told me he had been invited to a Halloween party back in Tampa. Turns out it's one being held by my USF friends. I go back to John's room to get my Run Lola Run costume on. Brynn is there and before I head back out to the party I show her my recent DVD acquisitions. I just got The 5th Element and Angel-A on Blu-ray in preparation for Luc Besson Fest '09

I head to the main room and it has turned into a huge theatrical auditorium with a lavish set and Mozart music is playing. I hear that it's a musical interpretation of Amadeus and the opening number is 20 minutes. I say that is great because a masterpiece like Amadeus can have numbers as long as they want.
Take note USF friends, we need to have a badass party like this.

Axis, Allies, Jelly Beans and Trolls

Night of Monday October 26, 2009
Palm Harbor, FL
Non-Lucid

I was looking through some cards that looked like they were a cross between Pokemon and Magic the Gathering cards when Tony busted in and said he wanted to show me a real game. So Corey and Tony began playing a twisted version of Axis and Allies... in my sister's room... with jelly beans. Corey's Nazi baby blue beans started marching toward Russia and took a crucial bridge. He left the room and while he was gone Tony played a big card resulting in his red jelly beans taking over half the territory Corey just took. Tony ate all the jelly beans from Corey's vanquished troops. Corey was upset when he came back and fought to reclaim the bridge. Odd thing in doing so, history be damned, a few turns later Russia was being run by the Nazis and Europe was covered by the Russians. Corey still had the bridge though and as hard as Tony tried he couldn't get more than a third of the way across. By now all the beans had been eaten and they were playing with green and red tiles.
Someone should make a "Someone has eaten all of Hitler's jellybeans" Youtube video.

After this came to a standstill they turned there eyes toward northern Africa, which was being run by an invisible third player who was using those odd Halloween orange circus peanut marshmallow things nobody ever eats. Corey quickly took high command here leaving Tony with just a small camp of troops left in Morocco. I asked my sister "Why doesn't Tony use the troll units he has in Paris?" My sister responded by saying the trolls suck. Apparently either the troll is the worst unit in the game or the Nazi's have troll rockets or something. I prefer to think of the latter as the truth.
