Advance planning
Today's Bridge: Dan H. and I partnered up, so we were bidding some razor-thin contracts, and they paid off. We started with a 3NT that hinged on my A-K-Q-x-x-x of diamonds coming in. They did. I was left in 2NT with S x-x H A-x-x D A-K-Q C Q-10-x-x-x facing S A-K-x-x H Q-x-x D x-x-x-x-x C J. The hearts were to my left, so there was a good play at ( Read more... ) -
I feel loopy. I don't know whether that's a thing, which is why I say I'm feeling loopy.
I had to review a lot of updates today, mostly in one giant update. I'm rather glad, because I'm not sure I was up to doing much more. I had a hard time waking up this morning, and barely managed to cook breakfast by skipping meat and toasting Pop Tarts instead. I tried making scallops for dinner, and I think they turned out okay. I just melted ( Read more... ) -
Getting to work early is easy when you can't sleep past 3:45.
Today's Bridge: It took a lot of searching, but we found enough people to play, and the first hand was a real doozy. ( I know nobody reads these... ) -
The little things that probably sound so inconsequential to most people
I spent the day cleaning up LP audio (and discovering some really bad desynch in one of the tracks that I may have to do something about), playing Dominion (including a rather interesting kingdom with six Treasure cards and Pooka), and finding the stuff I've missed in Super Mario Odyssey. I continued adding carbs and sugar to my diet this week, ( Read more... ) -
Weekends are when I play games.
I played a whole lot of Dominion, and that was pretty much my day. I recorded a couple of the games for the LP, and organized the Goblins 3 recording into the videos that just need audio cleanup. I even devoted a few hours to Mario Odyssey, and accomplished a fair bit. -
Not really writing much tonight either. Straight to bed, probably
I've been really tired the past few days, and managed to record more Goblins 3 last night, so I didn't take the time to write entries. Not a great deal to say anyway. I finally got the Dominion thread off the ground, and a few people have joined the Discord server I set up for it. I'm hoping it will expand as I go and I can spread the joy of ( Read more... ) -
Still good at technology and not always the best with words
Today's Bridge: Ken and Jerry took on Anna and me, and the first rubber was over almost before it started. I think we had a shot at setting Jerry's 4S - I high-lowed Anna in hearts as Jerry ruffed the second one, and he tried to cross to dummy with a club, but Anna ruffed that. Then she led... her king of trump. Another heart would have established ( Read more... ) -
The manga version of Magical Girl Raising Project goes way too fast. Even more so than the novels.
I recorded the first video for the Dominion LP this morning, and put it up for critique until tomorrow, when I plan to publish it unless there's more to do. Getting that ready to post took most of the day, honestly, although part of that was streamlining the script template so I can handle future videos with a minimum of additional work, including ( Read more... ) -
Wis
It was a fairly quiet day. I did the grocery shopping and unpacked a few things, but I spent a good portion of the day playing the Risky Boots mode in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, and another portion playing Dominion with Mom. She beat me a few times, including one where I was two Silvers away from taking a 20-point lead. I ended the day with dinner ( Read more... ) -
Trying to catch up on everything I missed - I missed a whole lot
