I have my first final on Saturday, and I still haven’t started studying yet. Hm. This could be a problem. Oh well, it’s only Tuesday, so I do have a bit of time. And msot problems in organic chemistry can be solved with the use of a handy-dandy model kit. I love my model kit. :love:

On the weekend, I re-discovered a hobby I’d abandoned as soon as I entered high school: Magic: The Gathering. (I’m such a dork. :weird:) I actually still have a surprisingly good grasp of the game, although there were a couple of things my brother and I had to look up on the Internet. How the times have changed. They have a new card design and everything! I feel so… old-school. I don’t think I’ll dive too deeply into it this time, either–I simply haven’t the passion nor the money to construct decks. Besides, the only person I ever play against is my brother. For some reason I get the distinct impression that anyone who plays Magic at my age would be really enthusiastic and have decks composed of expensive and rare cards. Like my brother said, “Building your own deck on a budget is really hard.”

I just noticed that the borders of the WordPress interface have rounded corners. Cool.

Oh, by the way, I found a really cool flash game! ^^ In HK Cafe, you’re a cook at a cafe, where apparently you serve nothing but breakfasty-type items. And apparently you’re too lazy to actually cook proper noodles, so you just use the instant kind. It’s still randomly fun, though. And addictive.

Speaking of randomly fun and addictive games, if working in a restaurant’s not your thing and you’d really rather go back and read some Shakespeare before you start cramming for exams, Tara posted a link to a super-awesome (:star:) Hamlet text-adventure. This thing is lovely, and you’ll never get stuck, because if you do, there are hints! :biggrin: Granted, it might be easy to get lost (I always get lost in text adventure games) but generally, you can find the places you need to go and the things you need to pick up. Talk to people–sometimes you’ll get a funny response. (Ask Ophelia about her lisp :dorkygrin:)

About three weeks ago I played the first real game of Magic I’ve ever played. That game is remarkably entertaining. I have no cards, otherwise… I would challenge you right here and now!

You’re right about that. I, in particular, have taken a break (due to college and all). I stopped deck building since it was time consuming and money consuming.
