Week of July 13:

Finally finish the twenty Monoblos needed for the title. Up next would be Rajang, but I skipped to Kirin - oh joy. Since I am still working on improving to Sandman Snake before tackling the dual Raj, I will work on the Kirin title. No, I won't. Sheesh, I just made armor for electric defense - and no Kirin quest to be found. Off I go to beat-up on poor Khezu until the quest shows up.

Meanwhile, I am off to Los Angeles for the USBC Open bowling tournament. I am roommates with Tommy (see it pays to convert friends and family to Monster Hunter) and we play with Kushala because Tommy needs more parts to make the armor. After Saturday's squad is finished, we watch people bowling for $100 a game, then it is off to eat at Black Angus. Not the best choice...especially after enjoying a fantastic Reuben sandwich for lunch at Harris Ranch on the way down Friday. They were out of Prime Rib. Great, what is a hungry hunter to do. I pick a steak as a substitute and only 1.5 hours later get to eat it. Then it is back to the room. It is nearly 11pm and we have to report to the bowling alley by 7am tomorrow morning.

Oh wait, it is Ghost on the phone. He wants to come over and do some quest. See, I keep telling you to convince others that you know to play. All right. Who needs sleep anyway. Ghost is already there waiting for us. We work on clearing the quest he needs for his urgent.

Bowling..well let's just say it was fun. Maybe you do need sleep to bowl well.
