Moving from MV to...well, MV
After two great years with DanFran in our Mountain View Avalon apartment, a place filled with great memories of hearts, Game Cube, Stanford sports, fondue parties, and countless movies, I am once again on the move, but not very far. I am joining Andrew, Gerald, and Hubert at their place in Mountain View, just a mile down the road. DanFran found a great 3-bedroom house to buy, also just a mile or so from our current place, so he'll still be very much in the neighborhood.
It's going to be a blast living with these guys for the next year, filled with hearts, Game Cube, Stanford sports...well, you get the idea. We got a taste of it tonight, watching Game 7 of the Spurs/Pistons series, then playing three rounds of Hearts, each with a different set of rules. The first round was traditional rules (as used in SHHNHB), and I eeked out the win over Gerald, of all people, but then things got very interesting.
The second round was something we had never done before. We shuffled together two decks, but we only dealt out the top 52 cards. It was a BRUTAL game. After managing just four points through the first four hands, I got four queens of spades in just the next two hands, scoring 61 points on those hands. On one of those hands, I took the two queens of spades on the same trick! Hubert ended up winning handily over Andrew.
The third game had us counting each queen as 13 points, except for the queen of hearts. Gerald took 47 points on one hand, a record at the time, but Hubert got jealous and took 48 a couple of hands later. I ended up winning pretty easily as the other three just destroyed each other.
A fun night, and indicative of things to come, so visit often! I'm also willing to let anyone help me move. That's right, no limits whatsoever, so you are all eligible! Just show up at my current place around 4pm this Sunday, and we'll start hauling stuff over. You don't want to miss out!
