(Less of an actual Tournament post, actually, but I'm tagging it that because it's actually somewhat related.)
Thomas and Stephen are being hosted by me for the 32nd SEA Forensics tournament this year, and yesterday after the events were done, went over with their merry HKIS bunch to KLCC. They came back home (home being Casa del Ruslan) at night, brandishing... A jigsaw puzzle.
It's a Studio Ghibli art puzzle, apparently, of an anime film called Laputa: Castle In The Sky. (Me: "'Laputa', doesn't that mean whore in Spanish?") It's not a particularly difficult one either, by real standards at least, but 300 pieces are still pretty tough, hey. I'm pretty certain 200 of those were just plain blue, or plain dark blue, or plain is-this-blue-or-dark-blue? Thomas, Stephen and I immediately started on it, because we're just cool like that.
Except Stephen pussies out twenty minutes later, lying down on the couch instead dictating orders to me and Thomas. Then he just goes to sleep. Crucially, he doesn't get up until eight hours later, despite constant urging to, y'know, sleep in the bed kindly provided to him. No, the famous red couch™ at home is well-recognized for its comfort.
Thomas begins to realize the therapeutic side-effects of doing this jigsaw puzzle halfway in. In other words, he gets crazy.
And then the ever-lovely Roslyn comes home and she too discovers the magic of jigsaw puzzles. I still don't understand it, I don't, and... uhhh yeah I watch them as they gain euphoria fitting individual pieces of the same shade of blue via process of elimination.
