jackMushroom and doom
I went to geek pizza and had a gigantic mushroom of doom starter! It was biiiiig and full of textured tasty yummy breadcrumby things, on pasty and a bed of leaves in dressing, and it was just great. Oh, and there were some people and a vanilla pizza too.
As in, margherita. You know, not actually vanilla flavoured. That would have been worth a paragraph, and this wasn't.
Cute bridge-playing assassins of doom
I went to play bridge with assassin-types and lo, it was fun. Thank you!
I definitely prefer a brief post-mortem after hands, it makes the play much more easy to see if you did right. And I like scoring, (rubber or duplicate, but might as well rubber for traditions sake), it helps you notice if anything went on. But our widely varied conventions fit ok, and we bit several passable games and made them. Yay.
What normal people do, but written down and said to be non-planar of doom
We had post-pizza. Possibly I'm being sexist here, but I wonder if a normal pizza is finely balanced between talking about computers and gossip, and a couple of men tip the balance to computers and tonight a couple fewer tipped it the other way?
At any rate, we edified each other by drawing out on the graph of "who we knew who used to date who". Gossip. As I said later, "What else do normal people do, we can do, except writing down and then saying it's non-planar?"
Normal people and geeks aren't very different, just express it differently :)
It was exciting -- some old gossip was unknown but sweet, current gossip I was mostly up to date on, and we had much fun discussing hubs, islands, chains, triangles, K3,3s and K5s.
Also, there was much cuddling, but that was a theme which kind of ran all through the evening.
