Going back home for a bit. I'm going to go round my friend's house and watch Doctor Who. We're probably then going to drink away our sorrows at how awful the latest episode was and then have some pizza.

Got back from my friend's house - I didn't get to see Doctor Who because I was pretty late getting there, as I had late lunch with some friends at Tibits in central London. It was a vegetarian buffet, where you pay for the amount you eat (by weight). The food was pretty fucking good, but my friend estimated that it would only cost £9 or so for a meal and offered to buy his friend some dinner. The other guy managed to wolf down £19 of beetroot houmous, pie, salad, et cetera. I paid £11 for mine, it was satisfying but it could have done with some - (that's enough)

I should really start living like a student again, term's starting soon.

At the house we played Magic the Gathering. I don't have my own set of cards so I borrowed someone else's - we played a variant where you could only attack the people sitting next to you which made the dynamics of (temporary) cooperation and betrayal a bit more interesting. Out of five people, I was second place (is that possible in MtG?). I'm not sure if that was due to beginner's luck, my skill at charming the other players into attacking each other first or the great selection of cards that I was given to play with. We will never know.
