You know, this week has generally been kind of awesome even if a little stressful and i've been super-tired. Yesterday I ran into Pat Riley while walking across campus; I hadn't seen him since forever ago at CMU! And the funny part is that it was on my way back from CMU lunch anyway. Also turns out that one of the CMU guys from the lunch works on my floor.
Today I had awesome Japanese food for lunch at the cafe downstairs from me -- yaki-udon and tofu and tekkamaki and stuff like that. I ate way too much but it was totally worth it. And in the evening was board game club, but first dkitchin invited me to come downstairs to a Research happy hour where I got to see cool demos of stuff and then we went to get dinner and then game club, where we played Alhambra with another David there. It really is cool how I get to catch up with my CMU friends. Last week, actually, while Jay (Pujara) was in town, we had lunch with Patrick and Greg, and then a day later I had lunch with my former Amazon officemates Guido and Hemant... the latter of whom it turns out works next to Greg. What a weird coincidence.
Basically, I guess the point is, I'm really exhausted -- especially with spending 3 hours a day on shuttle buses and whatnot -- and I've been off caffeine for about two weeks now -- but mostly things are pretty good, I'd say.
I've been trying to sleeve my 7 Wonders cards so I can bring them to work, but it turns out that the specific sleeves for them are SLIGHTLY too tight. Very annoying. Everything online suggests that the sleeves are just "snug", but I'm not sure I buy it.
