Tolkien Varsity quiz

CTS met our opposite numbers, had lunch, and repaired to Newnham for the quiz. It went pretty well -- I was just watching but the questions seem not beyond the possibility of knowing, and there were several innovative rounds (articulate, map, and unfortunately not pin the tail on the balrog), and I got to say 'hi' to some old friends. However, I had to rush off to...

Poohsoc

The Annual General Meeting. As always, very silly, and very funny. We elected Mysterious Californian Girl to president, and just about filled out a complete committee, admittedly resorting to electing people in London and China, being before I forget. Pres: MCG. Sec: Alex Beetle. Undersec: Andy-in-China. Foreign Sec: Lisa. Home sec: me. Treasurer: James-outgoing-president. CR (casting vote): Owen. James (finding innuendo and abstaining): Ben.

There are lots of good candidates for James (innendo is our business), but unfortunately they're all more urgently needed in another role. M, if you're reading, I proposed you, but Ben won out by being there.

Ghoti's party

Ghoti's naked party was fun. I was worried it was going to be awkward, but it was entirely nice people I'm relaxed around, and we had fun playing geeky strip games, and no-one was offended by my not being Zeus, and we ate pizza. Thank you for organising it.

You've made me aware of an entirely new desire: I really want to play geeky strip games with people who do not resemble Greek gods now!

ROFL. I just have this wonderful poignant image of a brought house full of laughter, and Apollo turning away sadly from the door, bottle drooping in his hand, as he slouches rejected away into the rain...

I would like to play with you, I'll let you know if I ever host one myself :) Do you play Bridge or Mao, that is where the true geekery is :)
