(Tangentially: Where have my Take 6 cards gone? I can't seem to find them. I'm hoping I didn't leave them in New Jersey back during winter break... also, apparently the AATA lost and found does indeed have my gloves, so yay.)
Charlie didn't just move out of Tufts House, he transferred to another school entirely. Oakenwald, I'm told. Out in California.
We didn't steal the couch; Brad donated it. Also, the big comfy chairs in the study lounge are gone. Disappointing.
I didn't have much of a chance to see anyone outside of Tufts House, because there was always the problem of making sure I had a way to get back in. (Only phone numbers I had were Youlian and Andrew, Youlian tends to go to sleep early, and, uh, I didn't realize I had Andrew's until late Friday night. So, guess I had more opportunity than I realized...) So I happened to run into Briana outside of the Reynolds Club and she said I should come by Chechnya at some point but I never ended up doing that. I did of course play a game of Twilight Struggle against Colin - him Russia as usual. Got my ass handed to me, the game was over before the mid-war, partly due to bad luck but more due to a big failure of yomi on my part. Colin says this is the first time he's won against me. Naturally we were both very rusty! Even though he ultimately won in Europe[0], he let me get away with way too many coup attempts and realignment rolls there. However the big game of Settlers with Kate and others never materialized as she was very busy. Nathan was also, though I happened to run into him as he was running to catch a train... hopefully in the future I won't be losing days to stupid mistakes. I did try to compile what information I could get out of Colin and Kate as to people's locations into one big map, which will most likely be useless to me by the time I get the chance to visit again. (Interesting to note that Kate and Nadja both are in Hyde Park now. Meanwhile, apparently nobody is sure just where Alex is. Perhaps I should, you know, actually ask her. :P )
We do in fact have Geometry Wars. Youlian's sequence high score on his own account is not as high as his previous one, but is still in the top 50 worldwide.
Ethan Van Der Heide doesn't know who I am. I find this amusing just because usually I'm in the reverse situation.
Didn't get the chance to play Traders of Genoa, which is not surprising. I was a bit too tired most of the time to be explaining complicated games, so aside from Twilight Struggle, I don't think I ended up playing anything other than Dominion and Power Grid. (Well, Winston, Jerome (a first-year), and I were going to play Nexus Ops, but Winston decided that was too long since he had to go to the A level and get to work soon. So instead we played a game of Dominion that went much slower than ususal, and then another game of Dominion. Meanwhile someone had put Forrest Gump on in the lounge, and of course after the second game finished Winston stuck around and watched the rest of that. I think it was like 4:00 AM before Winston actually headed out to the A level.)
Ben has a projector in his room; a large part of the wall space is taken up with the screen for it. It's pretty awesome.
Apparently Nikita talks people into killing themselves. If can't help but think that if people still remembered Shuo, this would be the beginning of a strange composite...
...and yes, I did end up eating Beefaroni for dinner one day (namely Friday).

[0]By this I just mean he got a much better position in Europe than me, not that he won by control of Europe.
