Chess Club

Forced myself to go to Chess Club, even though I had a ton of emails to respond to and a gazillion things to attend to. Why in god’s name do I follow through with chess, but decide it’s too much trouble to, I don’t know… exercise? What’s up with that?

Did better tonight. Played two games and won both. Although, I lucked out on that second win and pulled it out of my ass. I had several moves that I really thought were strong, good moves… but those all happened late into the games. Again, I still feel like I’m floundering around at the beginning, moving stuff randomly until I get serious and stop to consider consequences.

Afterwards, I stopped in to Reckless and chatted with Leslie for a bit. She helped me find the latest Sufjan Stevens album, which I’ve been meaning to buy for a while now.
