6:40 - Get woken back up by Mike screaming in my ear. Pick up Mike and heave him out the window. Wonder how he manages to get in my apartment.

Mental Note: Get a TV that DOESN'T talk. And some locks. Locks would be good.

6:42 - Get dressed.

6:50 - Jump in my car and head to the Diner. Hope some Java will wake me up.

8:05 - Mend the tear.

8:33 - Wake up in Hex's lair.

8:35 - Spend an hour convincing Hexadecimal why I can't be her boyfriend.

1:17 - Make the 'bots promise not to Reboot so I won't have to worry about them getting deleted.

1:18 - Realize that Hack and Slash are two bumbling idiots and never listen to what I say.

2:04 - End up having two 'bots dressed like lemons follow me around, talking nonstop, until I win the game and get away very quickly.

2:10 - Absolutely refuse to explain to Dot what happened in the game. Far too exasperating and utterly embarrassing.
