Highlights of the past week (+):
> Hanging with some of the better folk at my law school, and surviving a birthday meal @ caf gratitude in the mission.
> Meeting her family, and getting a little culture in during the process.
> Hanging out with one of my best friends from college who I haven't seen in a couple of years.
> Figuring out that you can actually order shandies in this country, and while they don't have actual "lemonade" or Tennent's Lager, it is actually pretty good.
> Drinking several of said shandies w/ a fine you lass an discussing Guatemala travel plans.
> Seeing my stepdad and catching up with him. He is essentially a god (okay, more of like a demigod)...seriously, mikemac581 can totally confirm how cool this guy is. Think, brace yourselves, somebody like Tom Bombadil, or perhaps a Gandalf/Aragorn blend...basically, he is not of this earth....or time.
> Being greeted with hugs in a crowded elevator by one of the hottest girls in my school, and watching all of the other guys in the elevator being like, wtf? (I know, this is totally bragging, but it felt soooo good).
> [Finally] securing a date with this one girl I am totally into...and aforementioned girl from elevator in w/in 24hrs of each other.
> Seeing my sister[finally] join facebook. (I am that much closer to being able to quit myspace now).
> baking four (4) pies at 22.30 on a Thursday night.
> hanging out with college friend again!!!
> Getting the goldfrapp tickets for next weekend. Thanks again mikemac581 for making that happen!!!
> finally getting motivated to study, and somehow averaging about 75pgs of reading a day through all of this.
...and lastly: THE FREAKIN' BAY AREA WEATHER HAS BEEN AMAZING!!!
hope you're all doing good too.
Also, I found this to be a delightfully clever read. Maybe you will too.

Oh, in answer to your question: GURPS, BESM, D&D 3.whatever, and the occasional indie game system that friends convince me to try.
