Every Day an Adventure

Actually, I just don't really feel like writing anything long. I've been feeling really tired, headachy, and just plain bleh for most of this weekend.

Saturday, I went out to Redmond to play Twilight Imperium with bpr, his coworkers Dave and Tom, and Mike from my Puzzle Hunt team and Mike's wife Erin. Dave and Brian and I were the ones who had played before, so the game went a lot slower than expected... by 10pm (we expected to be done by 7) we decided to just call the game. Dave had 9 points and Erin had 8, so they were the defacto winners. I guess the interesting part of the game was that everyone was doing weird things with their alien races -- the Merchants of Hacan (Tom) were major warmongers, I was the Mentak Coalition, the pirates, and I just went super-technology to build War Suns, etc.

Tonight I went to Oren's and watched two more episodes of Gokusen, which is really a pretty good show. It had been bugging me how familiar some of the people in the show looked (I mean, I know I've seen Nakama Yukie in a bunch of stuff, and the girl who plays Fujimaya-sensei was Tsujimoto in Taiho), so I went and looked them up, and heh, the school nurse is Yuko Nakazawa (from Morning Musume) and Sawada is Jun Matsumoto (from Arashi). It's just weird.

Hmm, the rest of the weekend was spent playing Pop'n'Music or reading books or working on baseball projects, I think. I'm finally 95% of the way through unlocking PNM8, as I got Linus this afternoon. (I'd thought about going to volleyball today, but I had a huge headache and stomachache and figured it'd be a bad idea.)
