Picked up my copy of San Juan (recieved in exchange for a massive collection of rpg sourcebooks I no longer wanted, composed 40-50% of books I had recently received from , thanks, Nathan). Played 2 games of San Juan, a game of tigris & euphrates, a few hands of gang of four, 2 more games of San Juan, and another couple hands of gang of four. The evening got progressively more fun. I was also amused to hear Cole say “I have never heard so many references to sex in the course of a single game.” Mostly in reference to simon’s continuous, casual cursing, which I emulate and which we usually dispense at a rate roughly proportional to the speed of play. <\/p>\n

The last game of San Juan was blazingly fast. In it, I won with a ridiculous “strategy”. I started off with a smithy (small reduction in cost for production buildings, good to build early) and a guild hall (extra points for production buildings, important to have built by the end of the game). I kept the guild hall in hand throughout most of the game. I had 8 production buildings, most of which were useless decorations, one smithy, one quarry and the guild hall at the end. Half my points came from the guild hall. And I won by 1 point. <\/p>\n

I still suck at the game, because I don’t build up a good income stream at the start. Sort of a metaphor for my life I suppose. =) Anyway, sleep now.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, an abbreviated conversation with . It’s unfortunate that I try to treat gaming as an opportunity to talk with him [you], because it’s really not a great place for conversation. Though I think gaming with him [you] is generally where I have the most fun in our interaction, when we actually play a game together. Biking together enhances the experience and is a great thing, but is largely a fun thing to do regardless of company. Hmmm, anyway…<\/p>\n

I also applied for the summer research assistantship. And baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Overall, a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
