Random things...
I don't know what it is, but every time I'm in a game that Monte's GMing, I leave with inordinate food cravings related to some random foodstuff that was mentioned during play. Tonight it was diner food - bacon and eggs, all that.
No diner food for me tonight, but now I'm home and enjoying cheese, crackers and ale. Which is actually even better.
I also formally took posession of my new place tonight at 12:01AM, and came by with Hans and Robert to check it out. (And drop off the first few boxes - the contents of my Stanford office) It's a great place; roomy, lots of light, and with stained glass windows, a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a washer and dryer. And remarkably cheap. (Ah, what a wonderful thing a renter's market is. Of course, it's been pointed out to me that "remarkably cheap" by Bay Area standards isn't quite the same as by any other standards on this planet, but that's as may be.) Right now I need to decide where to put things, and get minor things set up: DSL, getting the power and the phone in my name, and setting up some curtains for the back door. And perhaps for the front porch as well; I'll need to hunt around and find a good material.
For those of you in the area, a housewarming party will probably occur at some point, although perhaps not in the immediate future.
