Haven't been able to write much, so I'll just write a quick summary:

COMICS
I read Wizard's Ten Greatest Spider-Man Stories Ever. It has the famous Juggernaut vs. Spiderman (two issues) which is superb, it has the Cobra and Hyde (two issues) which was fun, it has the death of Jean DeWolf (which is amazing, truly wonderful), it has Venom strikes back, which is strong but nowhere near the Juggernaut or Dewolf stories and it has "The Boy who Collects Spider-Man" which is one of my favorite issues. The book was a very good read. Spider-Man rules.

I also read Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages which was very funny. A great read, Calvin and Hobbes is a wonderful comic strip.

MATH OLYMPIAD
I invented a cool problem and worked on the problems suggested for the state math olympiad, it was fun.

DANCING
I danced on Thursday (another great Thursday) and I found out that I have improved considerably in the dancing lessons I give, by noticing better what mistake the girl is making (I was already good at spotting errors in guys, but I couldn't spot errors in girls, I could feel them but not spot them). The dancing was sensational and it went on for a while after 11pm. Some new people have started coming that are very happy when they dance making it fun.

TEACHING
I gave two math lectures this week to the Math 6 class at Dartmouth. I taught them some probability. Part of the teaching seminar is to give two lectures in real classes (acting as a substitute teacher to the real teacher). In the first lecture, Tom (professor) was there to evaluate me and he gave me very good feedback letting me know what things I did very well and what things I should not do. I think I learned a lot and I think my lecture was actually very strong. My lecture on Thursday was I think much better and I was very happy with it. Of course, I also happen to love probability, which made it easy to teach it.

TRAVEL
I went with Yuliia to Boston for a quickstop before going to the IMAX theater in Hooksett. The trip involved walking around Cambridge for a bit. We also went to Hooksett and watched an awesome movie.

MOVIES
I watched The Dark Knight in the IMAX theater. The movie is awesome. The performance by Heath Ledger is incredible, the Joker is so crazy. What a villain!, what a performance! The movie was great, although I wasn't so fond of the Batman costume at the beginning (but I liked the new costume he got). The movie makes everything feel so real. Great story, great directing, great performances and it was awesome to see it on the IMAX (even though we had to sit in the front row). This movie is a must-see.

DND
Played DND with Geoff, Avram, Ralf and Naomi. We continued the story from before, so it started with a difficult battle (level 6) and it was really fun. We had a very tough battle again (without a day to rest, which made it very dangerous) and that was fun too. It's interesting how fast time elapses while DNDing.

FILM SOCIETY
I am an official member of the Film society directorate, which means I get to go to all Dartmouth movies for free. Awesome.

CHARITY
I finally put all the donated books in boxes and sent them to Better World Books. I didn't have that many books to donate, but I guess 4 boxes is a non-trivial amount. I was happy to learn how to pack books and ship them and to do something that hopefully will be of some help for the poor in South America.

I finished reading Proposition Player by Bill Willingham (author of the magnificent "FABLES"). The comic was great. The first two chapters were a little slow (specially the second one), but by the third one it picks up and it becomes very funny. The story is about a guy that in a bet, gets 32 souls and then God and the Devil want to bargain to get those souls. It turns out that having souls is what gives them power. I won't say more because it would spoil the fun, but let's say that Egyptian gods, Greek gods and many more are thrown into this humorous tale.

Today, for the first time in my life, I played Dungeons and Dragons. I figured that I am in full fledge mode with comic book reading so I might as well take the next step in geekdom. Actually the real reason is that it sounded like a cool thing to do with other grads. I went to Geoff's house and the players were Geoff (gamemaster), Naomi (paladin dragon thingy), Ralf (halfling rogue), Avram (dwarf), Jared (half-elf cleric) and me (human wizard). At first I was bored out of my mind with the game, but after two hours of playing I got into it. In the last battle of the day (we cut it short after that battle and left the story for another day) I was very excited with it. Doing stealth moves and then managing to defeat the enemies before they could call for backup. I noticed that rolling well makes it much more fun and viceversa. It could become very boring if you never roll something good. I was also introduced to different sorts of die. I had not seen a D20 (icosahedron) or a D10 or a D12 (dodecahedron) or a D4 (tetrahedron) or a D8 (octahedron) but I had seen a D6 (cube or dice). We played from 4pm to 10:20pm. And it stopped because I asked for it, I think it could have gone far longer. It was fun though, I will definitely be ready to continue the adventure.

The other thing I did for the day was eat at Lou's. Lou's is a delicious restaurant in Hanover. They only open in the mornings (close at 3pm) and it is always megafull on weekends, but there's not a long wait for a seat at the counter (there's a long wait for seats at tables or booths), so whenever I go I seat at the counter and today was no exception. I had the Big Green dish, which is 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, home fried (this are super delicious) and 2 pancakes. I love their pancakes. Eating a meal is bliss, so maybe I'll make it a weekly thing again (for a brief period earlier in the year I was going there weekly, maybe it is something that will return).
