Today is going to be a boring day of packing. Bad bad packing *dislike dislike*.
Last night was good. Went to a party and met various PoohSoc people, which was nice - they seem like a bunch of people who almost rival the CTS in nuttiness, which is impressive. Was introduced to a new game called Mao, which I played drunk but apparently is equally confusing sober. It consists of a lot of secret rules and large amounts of silliness, and as such has my full approval. But playing with mathmos makes it a lot more complicated, since they seem to have a disturbing fondness for strange mathematical rules which no-one else understands.
Also played Mafia and managed to get myself lynched first round by 'looking suspicious'. Which is odd, considering I normally go out of my way to look suspicious and still don't get challenged or questioned. Still, it meant I got to watch the mafia kill everyone else, which was extremely funny.
