magidI went to get veggies, and found enough to share (see previous post). Stopped at home just long enough to drop off my veggies, then to the Diesel, to distribute some of them. Lots of people there, more than I usually expect. Unfortunately, I wasn't there long enough to chat with people.
Off to dinner at Yoshi's. I hadn't been there before, and it was very nice. The decor was interesting, the pottery quirky and individual, and the sushi good. I was surprised at how room-temperature it was, however. Oh, and there was a cuke salad of some sort to start that was cool and refreshing.
I went to a game night at [I know he has an LJ name, but darned if I remember what it is]'s house. I hadn't been to one of his game nights before, and I was surprised at how few people I recognized. Nice to know that all social groups *don't* overlap... I learned two new games, Blink and Theophrastus. The former is a game of speed and matching; I was not surprised to lose. The latter is more interesting, putting together elements of a alchemical spell, trying to match what the master has in his version of it. I also enjoyed the conversation around it, that included references to Alice in Wonderland; a comparison of books by Ellen Raskin; discussion of Edward Eager's books and how not dated they are, also how literate. Lead puppies. Trading vitriol for sheep (Settlers being played in the next room).
I wished I didn't feel I should leave early, still nursing the incipient cold. Still, a nice evening.
