Dinner last night at

sschmitt's, 'cause

mciac was in town. That was fun, and the food was very good (courtesy of

jdaustin). This morning woke up early to have dinner with

sschmitt and

mciac; we went to the yellow breakfast place (which actually has a real name, something like Barcheesi, but not that, I don't think) — in any case, it's on San Pablo & Dwight. Good food, and I'll drag my parents there at some time.

Following this, I went to Gaius' for a pancake brunch, not that I could eat many pancakes, obviously, following my substantial breakfast. But it was fun, for a while at least, and then I went to pick up

leech for P5 rehearsal. Parking near campus turned out to be a small piece of Hell, 'cause there was a women's basketball game happening, or something. I think. Rehearsal good: the Christmas pieces are coming along, and hopefully they should sound pretty good. Memorizing them will be tricky, though. *sigh*

Came home to discover that

wolfemancs is suddenly keen on Scrabble, which is obviously a good thing, so we played a game. All I can say is, "IQ" really needs to be an official word, despite the rules it breaks. And I'm glad to see "qanat" finally on the list of acceptable words. I had the letters for "harpoon" and "tarpaulin" (the latter being a so-called Bingo), but there sadly weren't spots to put either.

Currently wishing that I'd had a CD-burner when I copied the two-CD set of Christmas carols from Simon in my first year; I'd like to have those on CD rather than tape. Though tapes are good for the car. But still.

German oral exam tomorrow. This is not going to go well. *sigh*
