<\/a>rsbdeadman<\/b><\/a><\/div>\nand the motorola crowd. We played scepter of Zavandor. I came in 3rd of 4, and had a great time doing it. I blame it on being stuck with the druid (and not really knowing how to play him). I think the knowledge of dust income is the first knowledge everyone should get. Maybe. Artifacts is another key knowledge.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, I had immediately-after-work dinner with medium bigwigs at my agency who were visiting town. Then went to a very disappointing green drinks on alternative energy. They had a PV salesman, a lawyer of some sort, and the guy getting a renewable portfolio standard through the illinois legislature. I care about the technical side of these issues. The politics and marketing make me faintly nauseous. I left early.<\/p>\n
Thursday, I went down to hyde park to a discussion group on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. I represented the office lesbian’s viewpoint on the matter. I want to get to know the office lesbian better, she sounds really cool. Not counting the moderator, I was by far the youngest there until Richard and his friend Justin arrived near the end. It was an enjoyable experience. Everyone there was very, very liberal on that topic. Still, it’s always nice to chit chat with ones fellow choir members. <\/p>\n
I chilled out a bit friday evening, then the weekend happened. I did end up soloing pride on sunday. I enjoy walking against the course of the parade. It’s like fast forwarding through a porn or something. Very, very commercial. Lots of politicians and various alcohol floats. It was funny to me that one of the most ridiculous jiggling manflesh floats I saw was by RedEye, the throw away tripe rag put out for commuters by the chicago tribune. <\/p>\n
Then board games, not excessively attended, perhaps ideally attended. I taught St Petersburg and Tichu. Both were well received. Excellent. I learned a thing or two about St Petersburg. Tichu was also most interesting. My partner (<\/p>\n
<\/a>dekkoparsnip<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n) and I were seriously down. Then I channeled <\/p>\n
<\/a>rupes<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n. I grand tichued sight unseen, pulled off a grand tichu 1-2. Then the voice of caution kicked in. I looked<\/i> at the cards before grand tichuing. We again 1-2ed. We went from trailing with 315 v 785 or so to winning the game in two hands. It was fun. <\/p>\n
And now it’s monday. My night to chill, pay the bills, do some laundry etc. More suburban board gaming tomorrow. (Arkham horror!) Wednesday, I’m checking out the twin spirit tribe’s “tribal fusion dance” (wow, that sounds really lame…), thursday, well, we’ll just say I have plans, and leave it at that. Then friday, it’s back to Ohio, for dad’s welcome back from Iraq party. Fun, fun, fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So, last week I did a few things. Tuesday, I went out to Mundelein for board games with rsbdeadman and the motorola crowd. We played scepter of Zavandor. I came in 3rd of 4, and had a great time doing it. I blame it on being stuck with the druid (and not really knowing … Continue reading “One week down, another ahead”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
