chess | The last batch of randomness

But not the last post in this series, ooh no!

Wednesday:

After having entirely ruined my 'muddy' clothes, Neil took the dog for a walk while I did a much-needed bit of spodding and LJ-catching-up. Before we thought of this, we called at Nick's house, but it appeared to be empty (this house is not responding- wait 20 seconds or terminate?). While Neil was walking the dog, Nick turned up at the door, so he went away again until Neil was back. Then they played Starcraft for over two hours, trying to beat 4 comps on the weird island map.

At that point, it was 2:30pm or so and lunch was in order, so I stole the muffin and scrambled eggs (on the grounds that I didn't like any of the cheese on offer and the ham had all gone).

We coded some Python for a bit, then Nick came round again, mostly to annoy the dog as far as we could tell. (he'd waited for us to come back to b.net chat but we spent ages on the score screen, then he'd gone to play DiscMUD for a bit and when he'd come back there were a flood of messages and we'd gone again, so he'd eaten some food then wandered round to try and work out why we'd outscored him. He then decided he was going to attempt to make the dog bite him, but only succeeded in being viciously licked. We talked about Warhammer for a while, looked at the High Elf army book, then finally settled on playing M:TG for a bit (which we lost twice and won once). We lost twice because once the gargant didn't get out anything but one forest the whole game, and once the gargant managed a single cheap wormy thing and no truly big critters. The time in the middle we managed to do 23 points of damage at once to win, tho, which was quite impressive.

Then we ate tea (stir-fry chicken, beef noodles and rice, yay!), and then I'd developed a headache so we went and did some maths instead of staring at a computer screen. (moments of inertia, deriving of)
