Grape Coffee

Last night I went to Java Hutt with a childfree who I met on the internet. It was a fascinating and animated conversation about the Universe, the unlikelihood of reincarnation, and the meaning of life, among other topics such as cable TV.

There were fruit-flavored syrups on the list at the coffee shop. This surprised me so I decided to try Grape syrup in my coffee because I love novelty for its own sake. In retrospect it was clearly intended for Italian ice sodas.

I went next door to Library Bookstore and bought Supermen, Tales of the Posthuman Future, by Gardner Dozois because it contains Border Guards by my favorite author, Greg Egan, which I somehow haven't read, and Fossil Games, by Tom Purdom, which is one of my favorite stories. I pinned up Penguicon flyers on all the bulletin boards in downtown Ferndale.

I'm hosting SEMI-Abstract Gamers at my house tonight at 7 to playtest and judge the Piecepack competition. Any games-playing friends are welcome!
