Spent most of the day tooling. Also started reading Wizards at War.

For the American Independent Film Co-curricular today, we saw John Cassavetes's Faces, which had great acting, but I still found it very tedious.

I was thinking about going to the Ravnica prerelease this weekend, but the tournament isn't at as convenient a location this time, so ( Read more... )

This weekend was interesting...

On Saturday, there was Earth Defense Force (with humans, robots, aliens, and gratuitous simulated violence (yay dart guns)), which was fun, but a bit disappointing (I really like the more roleplay intensive games better).

In the evening, I watched Shaun of the Dead, which is best described by its tagline: "A ( Read more... )

For the last few days, tomatoes have been gone from our cafeteria. Apparently, a bad harvest has skyrocketed the price to $76 a crate, so our cafeteria is not buying more until the price goes down. After having tomatoes at practically every meal in Israel, I'm really missing them now.

On an unrelated note, I finally built a good T2 magic deck ( Read more... )

Lots of work today ( Read more... )

Well, I missed the game at MIT today, but I still had a great day. In the afternoon, I went to the M:tG Unhinged release tournament, and I convinced Melissa to come as well, and we both had a great time.

In four rounds, Melissa (fantwurm) didn't win any matches (which is understandable as it was her first time playing limited), while I won one (and had ( Read more... )

This afternoon, I was going to go to Boston with my advising family and then go to the Champions of Kamigawa Prerelease Tournament, but the advising family outing was canceled due to the rain. So I walked to the commuter rail in the rain. About two miles, or a little more, and it was pouring and cold. I got totally soaked, despite having an ( Read more... )

Lazy days, the last few days of vacation.

Nothing much is going on. I finished the "Ukiah Oregon" Series and started on the Da Vinci code. I'm addicted to FF IX now (that game is so good ( Read more... )

Yay Final Fantasy IX. I borrowed the game from Rene a while ago, but I couldn't play at first because I needed a PS1 memory card to save my game. But I got one, and the game is a lot of fun.

Also, I've been working on Magic stuff: I updated WitSec Deck and made a new deck, Big Red.

I saw "I, Robot" again today. Melissa wanted to see it, so I went with her. It was good, even though I was seeing it for the second time.

Made another Magic deck, today: Mono-Red Control

Another lazy day...

Tomorrow, my family will be heading to Centauri Summer Arts Camp in Wellandport, Ontario (near Toronto) to pick up my little sister and brother and watch their final performances. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

Found something hilarious:
