We had a lot of problems getting everyone into the Macaroni Grill, which was our first plan for dinner. Splitting the reservation into two didn't seem to solve problems either (even though from my perspective it did, but not everyone could agree on it I guess), so 8 of us agreed to go with my idea of going to the Mandarin House. There was a wedding there, which kinda ruined things, service seemed a bit biased towards the party there, as with the environment too. But the food was good, as usual, and we had an awesome time. We got the Dinner for 8, which came with great dishes of all sorts, like Pork, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Chicken, Duck, Potstickers, Vegetables, Mandarin Beef... wow. I think I managed to get most everyone going on chopsticks, and we all stuffed ourselves. All the way til 9:30.
We got to the high school just in time for the anouncement that Heidi won Homecoming Queen! That's just awesome. Other than the king and queen's spotlight dance, there weren't any slow dances for all the time we were there, though. Interesting. But Beth and I requested Afro Man's Cause I Got High song, and they played it! That was awesome!
Afterwards, we decided to go see if Kevin was still at Dierbergs and ask him to join us on our festivities of the night. Ricky decided he wanted to do a drag race. Ok, I can deal with that. The first generation Camry had a 115 bhp 2.0L I4 with a 4-speed automatic, even. Maybe not all the horses are still in it, cause he definitely saw the back of my car. We missed Kevin though, so we all decided to go to Andrea's house after that. And so ends the year's homecoming adventure.

It's Hannah's birthday today, and I got her the cutest stuffed Vegetable, yes, Larry the Cucumber. And it talks when you bounce it! "Helloooo!" "I am NOT a pickle" And I also got a Jay-jay The Jet-Plane book for her. They were such fun gifts!
We had a stroll for the 50th class reunion of Wash U at the Algonquin Country Club, and a lot more people showed up than they told us, so the 8 people that came to play totally did not cover the room enough. Owell. Afterwards, we went to Hannah's house and watched VeggieTales and ate cake, ice cream, and apple crisp. After that, we watched Hook. Great movie.

I had a lot of fun with the program that we had to write in Java for CS101 today. Our assignment was to write a reaction-time simulator, to simulate driving reaction times. The assignment only called for rectangles to represent cars, and a brick wall, but I did the extra credit, which was to create a moving car in front, and to have pictures represent the cars. Yeah, that's what it's all about.
