ASDFASDFLASDFKJAHF I had such a bad first day.  Won only two games out of eight, and the rest were simply hopeless.  I was drawing incredibly terrible tiles - I’d keep something decent like OUT and draw IOOU.  Haaack.  Bloody depressing, until I got to play Michael Tang and it seemed like all the day’s luck had concentrated in one game.  Briskly trotted out beautiful bingos PALsIED, RANCORED, and VENTAILS one after another, ending the game with 492 points.  Scored a nice SEQUOIa for 112 points against Dewin too.

Still, the bad luck continued the next day - terrible luck like not drawing a single E against Ricky until the very last rack - until I drew Michael three games in a row because we were the bottom two.  Lady Luck seemed to have given Michael the cold shoulder because I suddenly started drawing lovely tiles.  Got a nice nine-letter bingo, DUELLISTS with EL on the board, and a simply gorgeous SHIVAReE.  My previous games had been so awfully tipped in my opponents’ favors that drawing decently balanced racks seemed like a real miracle for once.  Blah.

Me: Wah lao Marlon!  You took both blanks, four S’s, and JQXZ!!
Him: But at least you got the K!
Me: ……

Following in my own time-honored tradition I lost my last game, and ended with five wins out of 16 :( and dropped five rating points.  Sniffle.

Still, I think playing SHIVAReE just chirked me up so much.  Teehee.
