I shot the sherriff
Hmmmm.. today was okay, I guess. After some confusion about what I was actually going to do tonight, I called Brian G on my way home from work to see if he still wanted to get dinner. He did, and since he knows a lot more restaurants than I do, he called up and made a reservation at a place called Eva, down in that little nook of yuppie restaurants east of the south end of Greenlake. The place is apparently a wine bar / restaurant, and they are part of the "25 for $25" thing going on, so we both decided to try the prix fixe; he had prawn-and-lentil salad (which is exactly what it sounds like; a pile of prawns and lentils) and roast chicken, and lemon tart. I had a fairly standard endive-and-goat-cheese salad, and seared tuna, and pumpkin cheesecake. The tuna was absolutely perfect; the rest was pretty good as well. Brian decided to make me try some wine; he got a white wine, Reisling or something like that, and it was okay, I guess, but I just don't really like the taste of wine. This one wasn't awful, but I had one glass and that was it.
After dinner we went over to this guy Mike's place where people were playing games; we showed up and there were four people playing Bang! so we joined them for a six player game. I usually hate Bang, but this was a group who was just learning to play so it wasn't so bad. Infact, I was the renegade and it came down to me and the sherriff, and I got him down to one bullet before he took me out. I don't think I've ever seen the renegade come so close to winning.
Came home after that since it was pushing 11:30, and here I am. Hanging out with Brian is fun since I don't have that many friends out here who I've known since pretty much my first week at CMU in the fall of '94, and we always have a lot of fun catching up on stuff, plus he actually seems to be going through the same sort of "why is my life not going anywhere?" phase I am. Stupid lake.

But then he blew you to bits.
Also, what did the lake do to you? I suppose an intelligent lake might be a scary thing.

The sherriff shoots you! He misses.
You shot the sherriff! It did 26 points damage.
Congrats, you killed the sherriff! Welcome to level BANG.
The lake gets in the way of me making more friends on the east side or seeing the friends I do know over there more often.
