I haven’t been posting much lately since I’ve been busy at a new temporary month-long job down here in sunny California.
Been meeting a ton of people and making new friends, as well as visiting my mom (my dad is in China right now), brother, sister, and high school friends.
Eating some good food:
- Pizz’a Chicago — mmm good deep-dish!
- that place on El Camino that used to be Senor Taco — sopas con carnitas!
- Dynasty for dim sum — pretty good…
- In-N-Out — double-double animal style
- some new Szichuan place for really red broth beef noodle soup, scallops, etc.
- quite good catered breakfasts and lunches at the job, too!
Playing some games:
- Ra — Aaron doesn’t like this game. That’s okay because it was just me and Chris and new friend Jessica. 🙂
- Carcassonne — Jessica kicked Chris and my asses.
- Fury of Dracula — the 1987 version. Dracula was totally pwned.
- Hearts — fun, old school game
- D&D 4th Ed. — really brief intro to combat pretty much through a one-shot adventure run by Chris. Not entirely sure how I feel about it now, as each class doesn’t seem as distinct as in 3.5, but there’s definitely more balance I think.
- dodgeball at Jump Sky High — hella tiring! I’ve gone before so I was prepared but damn.
Gonna try to meet up with Chris, Grey, and SG again this weekend to play Chris’s new game Pillars of the Earth and maybe War of the Ring or something.
