lunch agenda… something had to break the monotony

Don’t rock the boat, especially when you’re in it, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

With any luck, tonight Laura and I will pick up tickets for tomorrow’s opening of the 2003 International Film Festival. I’m quite excited about it.

Today at lunch I played my first couple of games of Go in about 10 years. I won my first game, and tied the second. I actually learned the game in Hard Times Cafe, playing against an elderly guy who came to the cafe just to play the game. I was in high school, and just there to hang out with friends, but I saw him two or three times, and he always tromped me, despite giving me a considerable handicap to start out with.

We also played another game called Tic-Tac-Chess, which was really fun. You have a pawn, rook, knight and bishop, who can all move just like in Chess, and you play on a 4X4 grid, placing pieces on the board until someone connects four. If your piece gets taken, you can put it back right away again the next move. It’s very simple, and was super fun. Of course, I probably only thought it was that fun because I won over and over again.

For lunch, I had a microwave Tofu Pad Thai. Out of a box even! It was actually quite good, and certainly not the worst pad thai I’ve ever had.

  1. Actually just dropping a note to say hello. Jason mentioned you on lj today. This is his friend Joe, and we’ve met at various conventions over the years.

    Tic-Tac-Chess is fun, although I haven’t played in a long time!

  2. Hi Joe!

    Last night I played Go on games.yahoo.com for an hour or so… I tried to find an online version of tic-tac-chess, but couldn’t. Oh well.
