Hmm… much in the way i was being randomly dramatic and pissy in January rather than tell anyone about my burgeoning relationship with Selina, both Meg and Rabi are being hopelessly obscure without really revealing what’s been going on. Meg seems to have had a lovely weekend that resulted in all sorts of loathing and doubt, and Rabi is contemplating an upcoming uprooting of some sort (but what kind?). Very mysterious, and certainly intriguing. I guess we’ll all have to keep reading…

Well, it doesn’t seem to know how to do anything except for endlessly transfer my files, but in the future you’ll find that the archives will not be so prone to random disappearance due to the whims of the big B. Aww yeah. I should sleep now. Or, maybe i’ll eat some more peanut butter mixed with strawberry sauce. That’s always good for a sore throat…

Last night i had the totally sober experience of playing Monopoly with a large group of people, which i’ve honestly only done once or twice in my life. Playing Monopoly with two or three friends gets a bit redundant; with two you don’t do especially much trading as it will eventually come back to bite you in the ass, and with three every time you work out a good deal with someone you’re screwing the third player. However, with six players it was all fun, with some hilariously inventive trades ensuing as well as some pathetic attempts to live despite only having the dark purples with hotels on them. I set myself up very well strategically, but i just didn’t have enough people land on my property to make a difference. Amy wound up cleaning me out just with the yellow properties, although i stayed alive for a while by re-erecting hotels on properties Amy might land on on a turn and then taking them down to get a half-return on the money afterwards. Amy kicked our asses, though. Grawr!
I’d like to add that Amy was the most drunk out of the game, and i was the sober one, so obviously drinking doesn’t especially effect the strategies in Monopoly. However, playing with a shot of vodka in FreeParking definitely makes for an interesting game (substitute tequilla if you’d like, or draino if you don’t like the taste of tequilla but want something nearly as lethal.)

At one point my teeth were actually numb. Numb! How cliched is that? I was surreptisiouly tapping my fingernails against them for the latter half of the night to make sure that it wasn’t my imagination.
People are so weird when they’re drunk. Said Josh at the party: “I’m starting to realize drinking is a spectator sport.” I wholeheartedly agree… i just wish someone would tape it so i could study my performance later. Although… that might wind up being a little embarrassing…
