Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Little rat.

I thought I would not write today but it seems I can't not. Addiction.

I saw a rat running outside one day. I'd never seen a live wild city rat before. I saw a huge dead one as road kill in Kansas but no live ones before. The funny part was that my innitial thought was "oh a little furry animal". No "cute" thoughts though. But then I was like "it was a rat, yuck". The funny thing is I rather saw a live one than a dead one. Much less gross. I think it might have been friends with the drunkards always hanging out near the mall. It scurried right near them.

I bought a coffee machine yesterday. Haven't used it yet but I invited a friend over for coffee. Maybe I can make him play Citadels with me. It's my evil plan.

Oh and yesterday when I was taking another route home from the supermarket guess what I found... Another grocery store. And this one closer to my the house I live in. I have to go check that one out one day. I do like the big supermarket. Lots of fresh pasta to choose from...:)

    Mmm, Citadels. I think i found an online version of Citadels. Could be useful some day if you beat your friend so many times that he/she refuses to play with you anymore :)

    Good one. I beat my friend twice yesterday. I'm sure next time he'll want to really beat me and destroy my university and such just to win with like 30 points more even though his victory is certain... (has been known to happen :P) I was playing nice too. Only destroyed free buildings and only robbed or killed him a couple of times. Usually I lose because I play too nicely.

    I really recommend San Juan. I don't think you can be too mean in that game. Since you can't really kill or robb (that how you spell it?) or destroy any buildings. So all nice. Even the neighbors like it cause both of them have actually won a game.
    No one wants to play Settlers with me 'cause I always win. I guess I have good luck with the dice. ;)
    Gotta get off the computer now. (move over to the tv or something...) otherwise I'll continue working.
    Oprah's on in a half an hour. Nothing like reviving old habits, although I think Oprah was better in the nineties. More human.

    Oh, yeah. I saw a rat in Brooklyn. And Jaakko said it was just a small one and I thought it was huge...

    At what point in your lives did you get involved with these games?
