Day 3: At Sea

Sunday, November 16th, 2008 | Fun, Life

2:30 - Today is a good day so far. Did a bit of sunbathing; I have a feeling I’m going to stick out when I get back to RIT. =D

Again, the Flowrider is totally sweet! I managed to show off a bit for the guy taking pictures (and the crowd ;) )…right before screwing up a barrel roll. Almost had it though…

Heading to a dodgeball tourney at 3.

4:00 - Lost the dodgeball tourney, but had a blast! Won 2 games, lost 2. The second game, it was down to me vs. 4 big guys, and I ended up taking all but one down until he got me in the gladiator match. So much fun. But now I’m all sweaty and tired…shower time.

Ooh, and it seems I’m sufficiently red… =)

1:08 (AM) - In short, today was great; tonight sucked. Dinner was phenomenal, the Oxtail Broth was very good (I don’t usually eat soup, but this was yummy). The Filet of Beef was nice and tender, and the Cherries Jubilee was a great dessert. I love cherries, can you tell?

The after-dinner show was called Somewhere in Time. I didn’t quite pick up the plot much, other than this guy was travelling through time to find this woman… It was good; no Phantom of the Opera or Spamalot, but good nonetheless.

Even the Battle of the Sexes game show thing was fun, even though clearly rigged in favor of the women. Go figure… =P

But after that, things started getting sucky. I had some time to kill so I checked out Boleros, the Latin dance club/bar, because after all, I am a ballroom/Latin dancer; I enjoy it. Unfortunately, as a solo flyer, it’s really awkward when everyone is already coupled. I did end up dancing with a crew member; I definitely needed that, but it was somehow less than satisfying…

So I went to check out the single’s mixer at the Catacombs. Complete bust. There didn’t appear to be anything at all going on; just the typical nightclub scene. Smoke, booze, and “dancing” are not particularly of my idiom.
So basically I walked around for a bit, but due to “high winds,” I couldn’t even go to the front of the ship to wrestle it out with God (Yes, I know I can do it anywhere, but there’s just something about that space that makes me feel closer.)

So yeah. Tonight sucked. Tomorrow is Haiti so hopefully that will be better.

Drink of the Day: Sunday Sensation - not sure, but whatever it is, it pretty efficiently screws you up…

Shot of the Day:
1/3 Creme de Cacao
1/3 Amaretto
1/3 Irish Creme
