Hookah Tyme!

Oh man, is it going to be a long week! I've got overnights until next Sunday (Sept 14), at which point our plans to revisit Nubia Cafe sound good indeed. Nubia, It's what will keep me going as I drudge along. The General must feel about the same, that with waking up around 11 every morning knowing full & well he's supposed to be in class. At least there's Starbucks to cheer him up, & the rings, & Whole Foods. In fact, he will probably loose the dreary thoughts of skipping out on his responsibilities after his second Goji berry scone!

This is The General tending the hot coals on my Hookah. We had some good times that night, but the Asian Sensation, clearly upset about his departure the following morning, left us all feeling a bit empty. Lolo 2 was just not the same, & as much as I love a good hot coal tossing match, I think it was more a bitter statement that the Asian Sensation would not be a part of the Lounge for quite a while. Don't worry dude, we'll keep a half bottle of Amstel Light in your place at all times. Then again, COD4 sessions are likely to become a thing of frequency, pending bandwidth availability... ArabRabbi, the 360 is down to $199, that's probably less than you paid for your SNES!

Hey!... Maybe I should repack my Halo 3 console & get one of those instead! It's only a matter of time before someone drops a hot coal on it...


Cancel, Cancel, Cancel! I've had enough Hookah for a while. Headaches were supposed to be reserved for binge drinking, who knew smokin' the Shisha could have the same effect? What really did it was those self lighting coal pucks. NO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use them instead of natural coal. They will make you want to puke & ruin the flavor of the tobacco.

The only acceptable form of coal is natural Mesquite lump charcoal. It is heavy, burns hotter & much longer than other charcoal. Another must is the Apple or Pear head. By placing the Shisha in freshly carved fruit you get a smoother & longer burn. I havent tried this yet, but using a lattice style iron or steel screen instead of aluminum foil should eliminate the, what I've heard, toxic fumes emitted by the foil. Time will tell.

I don't know why, but the sudden urge to trash The General in Super Mario Kart just popped in my head, it's time to set up ye olde Lounge again!

Halo Wars is pretty dope, gots 2 say that. Very intuitive interface with the 360 controller! & can u believe people still play Halo 2 online, I spent a few hours yesterday & there were no time delays during the matchmaking process!

Yeah, makes sense. But I still want to get together online with you & General/Sensational for some remote lounge nights, have you checked out Sony's online setup & the Wii thing? Or would our best bet be via PC? I'm down for whatever is fun & competitive, & doesn't require a $3000 PC...

You know, I'm wondering if I'm even going to pull the gun on a 360 at all. I mean, come on: updated Halo? Perhaps Halo Wars? Maybe the occasional downloadable game that I'll be excited about for a moment and never play again, like Bionic Commando: Re-Armed? Doesn't strike me as a fair purchase at the moment, especially if I'm taking a chance on reliability.

There will always be something better, I'm beginning to think you have something against Microsoft. I love Microsoft, they're the greatest! (This message paid for by the makers of Windows Vista)

"Jasper" is supposed to be hitting the market sometime soon. But "Valhallah" is coming next year, with the GPU and the CPU ON THE SAME CHIP!!! Reliability? I don't know!
