They can’t all be funny.

Ayse and Ken and Jus and Non went back home this morning, because they have to do work and school and all kinds of things on Monday. Dave and I stayed to entertain our hosts, or at least help Halloween Toddler throw more things down the stairs.

Played (card game): Buffer Time. After realizing we had been cheating before, we started playing correctly (it wasn’t a lot of difference) and eventually won a game. Losing the other games was approximately as fun, because it is a ridiculous and random game.

Watched (animated TV): Star Trek: Lower Decks 1.4-5: Still pretty great. Also, brain-sucking alien parasite!

Played (board game): Nippon Rails. A long and narrow crayon rails game. I am still very bad at these, because I cannot keep enough thoughts in my head to plan out a run more than one contract long. Also I forget to keep enough money in reserve to make all the rails I need and get stuck redrawing for four turns in a row to get a contract I can fulfill. Also also I suck.

Played (board game): Daybreak. We won on turn four, go us.

Played (board game): Codenames. It was very late, and we were not very clever.

Read (manga): VACATION.

Written (anything): VACATION.
