Naked Turtle

To drop my shell for but a brief moment of the day

30.6.03

Next morning, DAY 5, we got up. Bob gave me directions to her shower usage. That’s when I realize everyone’s water labels are wrong!! Bob didn’t think hers were but I checked and it was like sonya’s. I think Rosa’s are correct... anyway we had oatmeal and microwavable churros =-o for breakfast. I didnt kno those existed! Oh it had just been bob, jasmine, and I cuz everyone else had left. We played Rugrats on N64. That was fun! I won! Hee hee. Bob and jasmine are so cute cuz they were just bickering and fighting. At one point it got a lil rough and yesenia knocks jazz into a stack of video games. So violent bob! Oh and you poke a lot bob, just an observation. :P oh well at least it wasn’t as bad as the tickle fests in the Thunder Mountain and Haunted Mansion (?) Lines. Then we played pool. I won! Again! And again! And again!! Haha. Bob just loved shooting that 8 ball into the pockets. I always addressed yesenia as bob and at one point jasmine says “you could call her yesenia or nataly too you know..” aww elle est tres mignonne... it just comes out that way. Bob and I had some uh “creativity” expressed on the marker board. I think last I recall it said...hmm lets see if I put this right.... Yesenia is a LOSER!! Hee hee. I kid. After that jasmine and I make use of my video camera and take a tour of the house. Then jaz introduces me to this wonderful game...Cruisn’ USA. I rented it once before but never really tried to complete it. Well they never beat it so I thought yea I’ll have a go.... I won’t do the WHOLE thing tho... as the game paused for lunch bob was listening to the music of the game and she starts laughing. Later on I heard what she was referring too. “Oohh ahhh, oohhh ahh....” in a lady’s voice to the beat of the music. Haha! Well apparently everytime I won a race, which is what u have to do to advance to the next one, that song was playing. So I said it motivated me. Lol wrong choice of words... katrina was on the phone numerous times and bob and I were trying to explain the song... I think all she heard was us yelling at each other and laughing haha. Jaz was the lil cheerleader jumping up and down. Then we’d all “sing” it together. I told bob she sang it a lil *too* well and she stopped. Haha. THREE HOURS LATER, I actually finished the whole game! I didn’t think it was really that long but it calculated to that much. Jaz had recorded a couple races and I as I watch it... what possessed me to sit in front of that screen for 3 hours?? It was fun tho, too bad they don’t have a controller pak to save it!

Time was getting closer to the italian dinner that was taking place that night. Bob was preparing lasagna and I was a lil drained from that game. I was really disappointed that we couldn’t see that video which the camera was concealing. I was determined to get it out so I ask for the flathead again. Unscrewing the tiny screws was not possible. This time yesenia gave me two flatheads. As I was ceasing to care about the well-being of the camera I pry it real hard and suddenly, it ejects! I let out a big GASP and for jaz and bob that meant I either broke it or opened it. Fortunately it was the latter. Hooray! But now there was another problem... the film was still wound around various parts of the camera! It was so funny, bob was all excited/worried “okay we have to remain CALM!!”. I couldn’t stop laughing but we were very serious in getting it out without breaking the camera or the film. And we were not about to give up. Somewhere amidst our mission yesenia exclaims “MY LASAGNA!!” it had been in the oven. “Um maybe we can cut off the sides....” I pictured these black crusted ends but it was actually just toughened. Finally it was down to the film being between this tiny metal stick and an itty bitty majigger. Very cautiously with the help of a paperclip and heckuvalot of teamwork the film, the video was FREE!!! yay!! We were so excited. The video on playback was just fine. Katrina and her mom came to pick us up, and with my belongings, the lasagna, and the video in hand, we were off for le diner italien.
