Boardgames, Anime, and High School Friends

The subject line about sums up my weekend. Very personal retro. Friday night was spent playing boardgames with friends from high school who I haven't seen in a while (Puerto Rico, which turned out to be quite a bit of fun even though I lost both games), while Saturday was spent hanging out with some different high school friends and watching anime for the first time in over a year (Memories and FLCL, the latter of which is one of the weirdest anime shows I've ever seen--entertaining, but weird).

Now I'm sitting in front of the television with my new laptop, planning my first summer 101 tutorial and watching a show on Canadian women who were recruited by the British government to work in propaganda and communications in New York during World War II. They're interviewing a bunch of the women and they come across as absolutely amazing: smart and adventurous and high-spirited.

(MacGuy was just reading a report on computer purchases that states that men tend to lay claim to larger screens than women.)

There are twelve wireless networks running through my apartment right now in addition to my own. That's frighteningly high (and even more frightening is the fact that a third of them aren't secure). I wonder if that's healthy? Ten years from now they're probably going to discover that WLAN frequences cause cancer or infertility or spontaneous mutation into weird demon forms. Maybe I shouldn't be pushing for wireless at my department...
