 Today was a day that happened. I responded to a couple more discussion posts for class. I finally emptied out my car. I loaded up all my pictures and framed stuff yesterday and got that out of my backseat, along with all the stuff in my trunk that I put in the day before. I also watching things on TV. And that was pretty much the extent of my day.

The best part of the day was the Neebs livestream tonight. The guys were playing Minecraft and put up the name of the multiplayer server so viewers could join them. It had the map that they used for their show Mob Squad. I ended up having to to re-download Minecraft on my desktop because it wasn't working on my laptop for some reason. Nothing has changed so I'm going to need to look into that. Anyway, other than getting killed numerous times by dicks who were just there to be dicks, it was pretty cool to run around and see things. And, along with being in the background several times during the stream, I was also referenced twice.

The first time they were showing people an area from the show and I was walking down some stairs holding a blue flower and Neebs' avatar (which I think was being played by Doraleous at the time) was standing at the bottom of the stairs and just staring at me. I paused for a second and then turned around and headed back up the stairs. Not long after getting back outside I was killed by some dick. A couple minutes later I looked up at the stream and I saw Neebs/Doraleous looking at a floating blue flower on a set of stairs. It then started floating back up the stairs and Neebs/Doraleous followed it outside until it fell into the water. Apparently, someone had hit me with an invisibility potion that I was unaware of. That is why I was getting stared at, or I guess the flower I was holding was getting stared at, because it did look pretty strange.

My second cameo was when I was standing around watching Neebs float around and throw down TNT to people for the grand finale of the night. I got distracted by people building with TNT and didn't notice Neebs hovering right above me until a few minutes later on the stream when I saw my avatar standing there and Neebs said “Look at that, [my Minecraft name], he's a very dapper fellow.” That was pretty cool.

After getting killed a bunch I ended up going off on my own. I built a little fort way up in the air and then I went underground and started building something but I lost it all when the server crashed. After that I just sort of ran around and looked at stuff, trying to stay away from people. The stream ended with most of the town being destroyed with TNT while the guys sang “Uptown Funk”. It was really funny.
