Schlep schlep fish game schlep
There was a proposal yesterday to try build-your-own-sushi for alums. So we went out to Fish Pier to get, well, fish. (This worked out well: a pound of fish pretty much exactly made maki for four fishatarians.) But the best way to get there was to take the Red Line to South Station, then the Silver Line to the World Trade Center station.
Silver Line: It's a Bus.
Silver Line: Putting the "High-Speed" back in "Mattapan High-Speed Trolley."
Silver Line: Going nowhere slower than ever before.
Silver Line: A bargain at $200 million a station.
Silver Line: Hey, buddy, got a spare $1 billion?
Silver Line: 60 feet of bus all to yourself.
Silver Line: Broken promises since 2002.
...so at any rate, from there we came back to our place, picked up huge swaths of games, and went out to Arlington to play said huge swaths of games. Except that, in the usual spirit of things, only one game out of the two bags (British Rails) actually got played. Won both San Juan (just like in Puerto Rico, it's all about having multiple big buildings) and Ticket to Ride (failed to get screwed out of LA, then drew some very valuable tickets that I was holding the cards to build). (Apparently TtR is pretty brutal with three, since all of the double connections turn into singles.) Was failing to draw appropriate tiles in four hands of Mah-Jongg. Was sleepy. Came home. Went to bed. Woke up to early. Posted to LiveJournal. Yeah.
