I played a truly terrible game of chess last night.

I took an existing calendar and altered it to fit my whims. I don't feel like working much today. I have class until 8:30.

crazy stuff

We watched Inside Job last night. It was all right, I think it was a very clear explanation of the financial crisis with minimal grandstanding and propagandizing (more than the Enron documentary, far less than a Michael Moore documentary).

finally, the stats I was looking for

I finally found the stats I was interested in for skat. I wanted to know how often good tournament players end up passing in the hand, how often they play hand games, and all that sort of stuff. I found a site that tell me this: http://www.skatfuchs.eu/statistik.htm

And I found a site with lots of discussion, which might be helpful: http://www.32karten.de Google translate is a bit off at points, of course (stimuli! irritation! I don't speak German!).

impossible games. and: Merry Festivus!

Card games descended from Karnoffel seem impossible. Like this one: http://www.pagat.com/karnoeff/kaiserja.html Many board games seem like that to me, as well, and are unpleasant to play.
