Or an Æon?

eta to get the Æ thingie....

Anyone here ever played Fluxx?

Yep. I played it especially with my brothers the week after our mother died, it worked well for our emotional state at the time.

Heeeeee....they might.

It is a card game where the rules change constantly. We confused my cousin and her fiance with it last night.

It is fun. I don't remember it being called flux - but i can't remember it being called anything else.

We bought a new deck recently cause we couldn't find out old one. Apparently they have issued new versions in the meantime. There are different Action/Goal/Keeper/Rule cards which made it a WHOLE new game for all of us.

GRR ARGH. I just doublechecked my reservation online, and the WHOLE REASON I'm flying United is to be in the "economy plus" section...and I'm NOT. Fucking jackasses at the travel agency. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

K does have a fantastic accent. I keep telling him he needs to go and be Fabulous in San Francisco/other Fabulous-friendly part of the States for a bit - he's not sure what he wants to do next year, and is not mad keen on the teaching malarky.

Hee. Fay, if he wants to move to DC, I promise to introduce him to many many men who will swoon at his cutiepie self!!

meara--I have some DC questions for you, becuause I need some background info for my new play. What is an iffy neighborhood where three grad school students might share a really cheap apartment? You know--a neighborhood that might have some gangs and a check cashing place, but also a coffeeshop. A neighborhood which would terrify even a pretty liberal parent. You could even give me a street name if you know one. Also what park might a street preacher go to and get a youngish audience? One last question--how do you stay as cool as you are?

Not meara, but I'd answer Columbia Heights. (I.e., the neighborhood where a bunch of my friends live, but whenever I mention moving there, my parents offer to pay the difference between rent there and rent in a better neighborhood.) As for a park, I can't really think of that many around here, but I've seen some street preachers at Dupont Circle, which always has a youngish crowd. (The actualy circle part of it -- there's a fountain in the middle, and some benches and grass around it, and people hang out there, but it's not really big enough to qualify as a "park.")

Fuckety, looks like our game got rained out. Again. Second week in a row. Worse, it's just games scheduled on the North Field. South Field is open. Emmett's getting frustrated. He's chomping at the bit. He's had it with practice, he wants to PLAY. And it's gorgeous and sunny out, but the North Field is too wet. Feh.

OH, GOD, you have me a scare with the DST thing,y'all! I haven't had enough coffee yet!

But I have a nice warm cup in hand, and then...well, I need to clean. My apartment is a mess. Really a mess. I want to crawl back into bed with a book....but it's a mess, too.

And a clean apartment this afternoon means a long, hot shower and the evening in a CLEAN BED and a feeling of productivity, right?

K.

After coffee, kitchen cleaning. AND loud rock.
