So it's 1:30AM, stu's in bed hopefully asleep and not jerkin' it since he's got semester tests tomorrow, and everyone else seems to be gone as well, and I'm reading the westing game, and I get a fantabulous theory about chess and America the Beautiful, so I go and set up my chessboard, except my idea seems dumb now, but I don't want to waste a set up chess board, so I ask kishi who has drawn a lovely image of stu and myself although it wasn't what I wanted (:() if he'll play.

Once he realizes I mean using real boards he pointedly declines citing the late hour >:(

So I ask Jason. "LOL IF I WEREN"T TAGGING STUFF I"D BE IN BED LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE"

wtp jason doesn't sleep, why does he LIE?

I ask samuraid.

"LOL FINAL EXAMS 2MRRW BUT LOL I WANNA DO IT LATER"

>:((((

Nik0's online and I vaguely remember him being somewhat chessy.
"Mmmmmmmmmmm donuts!"

So now it's 2AM and I still have a chess board sitting on my lap.

Heck, everyone else sucks so I'll play by myself:(

And it was very stimulating. My short term memory terrible to the point of after I would turn the board around to get the view from the other player's perspective, I no longer remembered what White or Black had intended to do next at times. it was. . .surreal to say the least.

Anyways, white ended up winning. I honestly thought black was going to, then I realized she was using only her queen to chase around my king and that was dumb. White had a couple of other pieces helping.

The field of battle.


The combatants.

The slain in battle.

The agonized losre.

The victorious winnar.

Parley on the field of battle.

I lied. They aren't really dead.
Bringing out the POWs!


When I was little, I used to play with our chessboard, except I didn't know how to play. I remember knowing the names of the pieces and asking my brother if he wanted to use them to play 'Friends' with me.

Isn't that adorable?

I used to set the pieces up in rows and pretend it was something like a king and queen walking through their gardens with their courtiers.

And in reality it's a desperate battle scene. Those kids. Always tearing up the ground out in the garden right after you tend to the flowers.

Also, I sorta want to do a podcast type thing. Is anyone else even remotely interested?
