flutes don't suck, they blow
Today I didn't do much. I got lunch at Union Grill with
blk, who gave me the flute I bought from
awfief. At UG, we managed to see and sit next to Chris and Neal, who were there having a conversation the whole time about Counterstrike and stuff. (It would just be so much funnier if we didn't know that, to be sitting next to two guys in a restaurant discussing "...yeah, so then they got the hostages and ran down to the marketplace while the rest of us shot lots of cover fire until we ran out of ammo...") Neal had a "Planet Verilog" shirt on. It was sooooo cool. After lunch I went to campus. I saw
beegle in the cluster, and rjmccall and Drew and
whitemage and
sleepsong and all. We ran into
jcreed as well and all played Ricochet Robot in the cs lounge. Oh ya, and
combinator is back from DC! He brought back a wooden puzzle thingy that I played with a lot. I also played the new flute in the CS lounge a little, but Kaustuv was sleeping on the couch so I didn't want to wake him up. Eventually I got bored of waiting around and just walked around Wean for a bit. I found
eub in his office and we decided to go home. On a whim I bangety-bang-banged on WeH 8019, and Kevin and Benoit were there and we decided to all go to Tram's for dinner! Whee! I went back to the lounge to get my bag, and said goodbye to everyone there, and then we went to Tram's! It was good, I had spring rolls and then vermicelli with egg rolls on top. I was glad to see people since we'll be missing the normal Wednesday dinner tomorrow. We'd discussed going to squill to get bubble tea, but Eli wanted us to come home and pack. So, I packed. Now I am... mostly packed and goofing off. Sigh. Nervous about flying tomorrow, but I'm always nervous. If anything dumb happens, you guys know I love you all.

heh. that same sort of thing happens on lunch breaks at my office. only it's Grand Theft Auto, not Counterstrike. "...so then the cops showed up and I started to shoot them with the machine gun..."
