long weekend
* Civic holiday off from work yesterday. Much happened. Short version.
* Folk Festival in Cambridge: d discovered for us a very tasty South American restaurant, we hung out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
persephoneplace and bodhranman, and watched Morris Dancers in their finery. I have photos, but haven't gotten them uploaded yet.
* Birthday Party:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
elbie_at_trig is a Triangle Square. I mis-heard someone's comment but the result was an excellent idea; and of course it's already on the internet: caffeinated bacon.
* insomniac night followed by fairly long bike-ride == oddly restorative. Though I had headaches off and on all weekend. Weird dreams, too. John Denver, get out of my subconscious! You too, scary border-guard guy!
* Studying for my PACS class final, which is Saturday at 4pm. I'm looking forward to it being over- the class was interesting, but not nearly engaging enough for me right now. Ah well.
* an afternoon off atthe_infamous_j's cottage: Gloom is a wonderful game. It is macabre, uses a gimmick of translucent playing-cards to neat effect, and has story-telling elements built in, as you try to lower the Self-Worth score for your family while making everyone else's families happier. You win by dying with as much tragedy as possible. Also a fun round of Unspeakable Words, which is great to introduce to new people who are good at scrabble because it hurts their sensibilities.

...and a second expansion, Unwelcome Guests. J has both the expansions, and I'm looking forward to playing them eventually!
