After calling it quits yet again, I had time to reflect on what I wanted to do in the next couple of weeks.
1. Catch up with Lost
When Danyale moved in months upon months ago, I found I suddenly didn’t have time to keep up to date with this TV show. I’m stuck somewhere around episode 12 in Season 3, and since Season 4 just came out, now is a good time to play catch up. It should entertain me for roughly 15 hours or so.
2. Visit the Cosmosphere
I actually wanted to go here last time my dad came to see me. It’s about 4 hours away, so it wasn’t something we could quite work out, but solo I can drive there and back in the same day. If worse comes to worse, I can always rent a cheap solo room. This museum looks pretty kick ass, I mean, it even has its own SR-71. From what I’ve read, it also focuses on the Soviet space program also, which I’m really not too familiar with. This could easily be a day or two of entertainment.
3. Get completely lost.
Back in Indiana, I used to just hop in a car and drive. I really haven’t had the time or the inclination to do that in Kansas. I know almost no roads here, and I’m sure there’s plenty of neat things to see. Part of the fun of just taking off for a day trip is eating at mom-and-pop restaurants and just experiening local things. All I need to do is load up the car with gas and music, grab a four-sided dice, and start rolling. Fate and chance will take me where I need to go, and then I have the fun of figuring out a way back. Easily a 8 hour or so diversion based on my gas tank.
4. Go to a concert
I haven’t been to a concert in ages, and although going alone isn’t quite as fun, it would be fun to check out Sprint Center sometime. There’s a Matchbox 20 concert going on in a few months, and although all their music doesn’t entirely click with me, I really like their new album. I’d be able to add a few more ticket stubs to my collection,and chill out to (moderately) kick ass band.
5. No-limit Texas Hold’Em At Prairie Band
I haven’t had the chance to play poker in quite awhile, espically since Pokerstar’s isn’t serving American customers anymore, and Bodog’s has had some legal problems of its own. While it can’t compete to playing poker at home, I think it’d be fun to head up to Prairie Band with $200 or so, and make a night of it. I’d probably end up losing most of it, but I’d have a blast doing it. Easily a night out, and I might even get a room out of it.
