Regressing even further
May. 13th, 2002 03:42 amI started off the day by making my mom a homemade online Mother's Day card. Rather than use blue mountain or whatever the heck, I photoshopped a picture of me to look like this, stole a background picture of nice flowers, and wrote her a note like I would have in a normal card, and made a page out of it all and sent her the URL like "woo! you have a mother's day card at ...". It's sort of funny but she really liked it, so I am glad. She sent me mail back saying she printed it out to put with other cards and stuff.
Today I hung out with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lqiu and people. I brought the Starfarers 6-player expansion to the lounge and played with Li, Carl, Drew, Pete, and Kevin. It was fun, it has a lot of stickers and stuff, and the new alien race is kinda wacky. Except for a TON of 8's being rolled in a row which threw off game balance a little, things went pretty well. Drew won, but it was close ish. After that we went to Taste of India for dinner, the real restaurant, because heck, Li's in town and hadn't been there in ages. It was me, Nick, Li, Carl, and Kevin. They gave us complimentary appetizers as usual and we ordered four dishes for five people and somehow still had a ton of extra food. I'm not sure how that happened.
After dinner we went to the lounge and I played bridge until 3am. I'm not kidding. It was with Li and Drew, and with Kevin/Carl until around 11:30 and then with Charlie until 3am. Drew and I played as partners for like 4 hours, using a 2-over-1 game force system with a variant on Bergen raises and stuff, and we actually did pretty well together, I was sort of surprised but pleased by it. Especially since I got to smack Charlie down a few times. ("Don't look at me in that tone of voice!") We listened to K-pop for a while and then Drew put in Simon and Garfunkel and that was cool to sing along to. Then Charlie walked (well, unicycled) me home, and now I am here. Yay.
Charlie said something tonight about "You guys make me feel like I'm an undergraduate again," and I just thought that was funny because that's totally how I feel when I hang out on campus. But... blah. So sad.
