And then sometimes after drinking, you get up really early. I think, and last night drunken Jenna agreed, that the cook-off/housewarming/potluck was a complete success.

Jenna won a tight race in the Drink category with her trademark Mojitos, and destroyed the competition in the Main Course category with something I can't spell. Of course, we couldn't just keep the prizes for ourselves, so runner-up Carly took home two gifts.

(In my defense, a 9-inch pie crust does not fit atop a 9.5 inch pie plate.)

Notable: There was head-standing to settle the battle of the sexes, and several people very foolishly tried to throw a basketball in a crowded room. Notorious featherweight Jenna drank more alcohol than I have ever seen her consume; this is someone who can barely finish a beer and I think she drank me under the table last night. There was talk of a drinking game much earlier in the night from a housemate, who shall remain anonymous. I think we can all clearly recognize that as fooltalk now.

In retrospect, we bought way too much booze. There are wounded soldiers everywhere, and everyone seemed to be drinking, but a dozen or so people cannot finish two cases of beer and two boxes of wine. We now have what I think is known as a "reserve."

Our Bold Hero wasn't really involved in anything interesting, though I remember listening in on some very strange conversations. I remember defending The Darkness from a technical standpoint, and trying to remind an astonishingly forgetful Graham that, no, we told him about this party many, many times. Once again, J.Go (or whatever he's going by now; I edited something today with a person named JDiddy in it... I guess we could vote) and I ended up talking about comic books for an extended period. There's just too many out there to find all the good stuff without recommendations.

Knowing but not realizing, if you can dig, that it was 2:30 a.m., I attempted to watch a B-movie called Leviathan last night and got about halfway through (no monster yet!). Seems as good of plan as any. Also, shower.
