Bang the side of it

Disappointing and exciting at the same time, I lost a 19x19 game of go tonight. Disappointing, because I lost. But exciting because I didn't lose by much. Had I played the endgame a little differently, I would've won by a respectable margin, which is something I never envisoned myself doing.

The other guy definitely felt stronger, but I developed a little better so I had a huge swath of territory at the bottom. He had the top, left side, and lower right corner, while I controled most of the rest. The important thing is that I actually played a game to completion and didn't feel completely lost the whole time.

I'm glad I don't pay attention to the weather forecast. It means that sometimes I can look out the window at night to see everything suddenly covered in snow, probably one of the best simple things I enjoy. Right now, hordes of tiny, flimsey snowflakes are making it look like nature is getting bad reception. With any luck, they won't have the problem sorted out until tomorrow afternoon. Maybe then we can have some actual accumulation.

The only reason I ever listen to Megadeth is because it is such a departure from all the other music I have. I listen to my favorite things so much, that it feels good to listen to something that isn't incredible at all. That way, when I go back to what I like, I like it even more. Megadeth is inoffensive, normal, rock music. It's like a sandwich. Just some bread, some deli meat, some condiments. It's always okay, sometimes approaching delicious. But never something you'd want to subsist on.
