Wherein Harry encounters GESH
Mar. 4th, 2006 12:56 pmWow. This new "restore from saved draft" feature is cool. Even if the saved draft is something I want to get rid of, as it's something claiming I proved the n=9 case in an attempt to gain some insight into the general odd case, and failed at the second, when in fact I failed at the first.
Anyway. Some other things before the main entry:
So Frank's moving out. He's moving to Max. Hm.
Henderson *finally* took their trampoline back. Well, except, they didn't. Tom of Henderson was down in the lounge the other night, and he asks where we got that trampoline, and I just kind of say, "Oh, we stole it from Henderson." He says we can keep it till he goes back upstairs, then he's taking it back. Except, he didn't.
Alex[0] was very surprised yesterday when I pulled her ID out of my pocket. :D She had left it on the table in front of her and when she wasn't looking I swapped it with my own. Several hours later, when something brought up the subject of how Alex doesn't have any pockets, I said, "Guess what I have in my pocket." After a few guesses of unrelated things which I did, actually, happen to have in my pocket, I pulled out her ID. It was great. Well, I still haven't gotten my ID back from her, which is something of a problem, but...
Oh! So I thought to look up ODan on Facebook. I found him to be a member (well, a bit more than that) of the following group: I Was There When We Paid Dan To Mace Himself.
As for GESH! So in recent weeks I have been learning something called "using what's around you". Actually, no, I'm always bad at that, but I've been learning what's around me so I *can* use it. For instance, I've learned that Bart Mart sells all sorts of microwavable meals. So instead of going off to the Med every time I miss dinner and paying $10, I can buy 2 or 3 things of microwavable Chef Boyardee for about $4 flex. I've also learned of the existence of Hutch. Now, you might say, "You've been at Chicago for nearly 2 quarters; how did you not know this?! You pass Hutch every time you pass through the Reynolds Club!" ...I don't really have a good answer for that other than general obliviosity. Regardless. So it's Thursday - no, last Thursday, it's been a week since then - and I've missed dinner and I go to Hutch. I get myself a hamburger and I see a bunch of people playing cards, so I sit down by them and ask "What game?" Turns out I've just stumbled into GESH, the (unregistered) card club. Ah yes, I recalled now, seeing one of their flyers some time ago... so they were playing Chinese BS, and afterwards I played some Hearts with them, and yay. And I asked if they played any boardgames, and they said no, not really, but that's a neat idea. And I said about how I had wanted to start a boardgame club but that seemed way too much effort, and now it seemed kind of redundant. So yay. This week I came to GESH having, for the first time in months now, filled my backpack with games. And we actually did end up playing two games of China. I was actually pretty tired at the time, but even so, much yayness!
So, no more creating a boardgame club. I got home after that first day and I threw away the one copy of the flyer I had printed.
Problem: Overlaps with Thursday QB practices. I'll start going on Tuesdays again?

[0]OK, general note: If I say "Alex" with no qualifier, I mean "Girl Alex". If I mean my roommate Boy Alex, I will explicitly state so.
