The speakers on my work laptop stopped working. Instead of sending me a new one, I have been doing a stupid dance trying to get a technician to show up to to fix them. Now I get to spend an entire day in the office with my boss, not actually getting my real work done. yippee.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Oh, MTG is great one-on-one. And it's easy to learn--I've done it several times!

Studying trivia is valid. If you really want to nerd out on it, look into making your own digital Anki flashcards. It's fun to harvest the information, make the cards, and just spend a few minutes every day quizzing yourself.
