All righty, new post.

The tournament at Smith went well, despite horrendously bad management on the part of the Smith girls. They literally ran about 3 hours late the first day--rounds didn't get out until 1:00 in the morning. (We lost that round by an enormous margin... sleeptalking isn't pretty.) But me and my new temporary partner were the top-ranking novices in the tournament! Yay! We beat an opposition team arguing that in the song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", the fiddler Johnny shouldn't bet his soul against a golden fiddle in a fiddling contest with the devil. Yay eternal damnation!

The guild game on Sunday was disappointing, mainly because game mechanics caused me to spend an hour "unblocking tunnel caveins" by myself in random hallways, then spending another hacking into a computer system which, after all of my effort, didn't actually tell me what it did. I actually caused the asteroid base to be destroyed by using the computer to switch off an ancient defense system inadvertently. Oops. Most boring game ever, though, so I barely feel bad...

And now I have a cold, so I'm going to stop writing and go back to sleeping.
