You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I wish I could use my Touch as a flash drive. I should be able to store Powerpoints and documents for my classes on it.

I think there is 3rd-party software out there that makes this possible, but why bother when flash drives with USB connectors are so small and cheap?

Now I wish we'd played board games this weekend, instead of just eating fancy cheese & arguing about Batman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The opportunity to prove the Suggestion false passes to the left until some player has shown ONE card to the suggesting player...

Now I can't remember how I played. I haven't played Clue in years. Not since the half-finished game of Clue I played at Rice freshman year. It still haunts me.

It still haunts me.

It was probably Miss Scarlett.

hip deep in pie

My grandfather taught me cribbage. And he died when I was 4. I have played many many games of cribbage.

I even have Zombie Flux.

I was very tempted by the Monty Python Fluxx in the Pasadena game store, but I resisted as I already have the zombies.

The opportunity to prove the Suggestion false passes to the left until some player has shown ONE card to the suggesting player...

This makes me wonder if we were taught to play by someone else. In any case, I would hate to have to always ask the same person first. What a bummer.

It also reminds me about the first few times we played Risk and no one realized there was a line connecting Kamchatka and Alaska. When we did--boy howdy.

ETA: Huh. Did not realize Risk was originally French. How did I not know this?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

just eating fancy cheese & arguing about Batman.

One never "just" argues about Batman. It's valuable, unless someone is being stupid (usually on the internet).

I think I got comic cockblocked by a nurse at the ER this weekend. Cute chibi!nurse is talking to me about my GL shirt, and the other nurse that has never asked me my age suddenly checks what year I was born. What? I can't have layers?

Oh my goodness-- I loved the Game of the States! And Skip Bo! And Mille Bournes. This makes me miss my friend H, because she always wanted to play board games, and she was competitive, but fair. We must have played trivial pursuit approximately 100 million times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, man. You guys are having a fun conversation that I want to join in on, but I just have to say: MOTHERFUCKER. Somehow I missed filling in a section when I was doing my NY taxes (via H&R Block Online), so it got returned to me, and I just figured out the problem with a guy on the phone, so at least I'll finally get filed, but now I owe them money instead of vice versa, which is what it looked like when I did it wrong. Fuck fuck fuck. I have never in my life owed so much money when I filed my taxes. Fuck.

Also: FUCK.

I was very tempted by the Monty Python Fluxx in the Pasadena game store, but I resisted as I already have the zombies.

Yeah, the Martian Fluxx is also tempting, but I figure I have two Fluxx games, and that's enough. Especially since I don't actually mix the two decks together.

In any case, I would hate to have to always ask the same person first. What a bummer.

That may have been how we played it, now that I think about it. Because I remember there was something where the same person could keep showing you the same card even if they had other ones. Although that's just part of the game. Now I'm confused.
