Blogger 365 Day 340 - Papa John's roofied my pizza

     Islamabad, hello!!!!  Sorry but I had to channel my inner Larry King for a moment because I was looking on my website tracker the other day and I got my first ever (at least since this blog relocated to Blogger) visit from Pakistan.  So again I say, Islamabad, hello!!!  All the right wingers in the crowd will now complain that I typed a word with the letters Islam in it, to which I say go have a seat with Michelle Bachmann on the crazy bus while the rest of us adults actually chat.

     So I am sitting at home last night, minding my own business and fuming as only I can (see yesterday's entry for more on that particular incident) when I decided to play on the iPad a little bit.  As I am sure I have mentioned, I am spending probably way too much personal time playing a little app on there called Marvel Puzzle Quest.  Last night one of the in game events was winding down time wise I I decided I was going to make a late push to get one of the top awards in it.  The reward I was shooting for was a Loki card and the way to get it was to register over 100,000 points in the event.  When I started yesterday I was a little over 70,000 so I played for a bit, used up my health packs, played some more and waited for health packs to return.  I repeated this process a couple of times and during one of my hiati (the scientific plural of hiatus, ask long time readers, they know) I decided I would place an order for dinner with Papa John's.

     The motivation behind this was an email I received saying that on Monday all large pizzas were half off with the promo code in the email.  Now I am am not a huge fan of Papa John's but I still find them to be the best chain pizza out there and with a deal like that, hell, why not.  So I go to the website and I start thinking that once I start adding toppings to this pizza it will probably get a little more pricey, but in the offers section was another special, only good for Mondays and it was any large pizza (up to 5 toppings) or any specialty pizza for 8.99.  That sounded pretty good, so I ordered one (John's favorite I think) and an order of breadsticks and waited for my food to arrive.

     The delivery arrived, I started snacking on the breadsticks and continued my puzzle questing and all of a sudden I started getting sleepy.  The event still had a few hours left so I thought maybe my eyes were just tired from focusing on the iPad screen for so long, so I hopped onto the laptop and looked at a few things online before listening to Fox Sports Radio on iheart.com and laying down for a minute.  The minute turned into about an hour and when I woke up there was less than two hours to finish the event, so I hopped back n the iPad but I just couldn't get my eyes to focus, I would play, my head would nod off, then snap back up, so after just a couple of games I thought I would lay back down and try again later, I needed less that 5000 points by now, I could knock that off with just a few more rounds so I put my head back down and when I woke up again there was 15 minutes left.

     Now I am rushing and I clear off two more rounds, getting me within a round or two of being done and getting the card I wanted when the timer on the event ran out, right in the middle of another round.  I swear that the pizza had to be drug laced, because I was fine until I started eating it, or maybe it was the breadsticks but whatever the case I just couldn't stay awake.  Someone could have came in and molested me and I don't know if I could have fought them off.  So naturally I am eating leftover pizza tonight because sometimes I just live life on the edge like that.
