Yesterday I visited with S., my brilliant friend from college. She's the kind of woman who draws a cute wug on the chalkboard before class and then pretends she didn't. After the wug incident, I knew we were going to be friends. We started off the evening trying to colonize a small continent.
It's my third time playing Settlers of Catan, and I rather like it. There's a highly social element to it, particularly the trading. I tried to convince S. to team up with me to prevent an evil world dictatorship, but she doesn't yet want to help me win.
Next a game of what I learned to call Telephone Pictionary. As in the game of Telephone, where the phrase changes as the players whisper it down the line, the phrases and images change as they cycle around. The object of the game is to get a good laugh. This set began as a walrus missing a bus, and this Octopus of Doom is only the middle of the evolution! I love games that can be played anywhere and that don't require purchased pieces.
During breaks in the game I worked on a crochet afghan that is Almost Finished. I've been working on it since January, and I'm ready for it to be done. Just a few more inches!
Right now, my dad's childhood friend is over. He, my dad, and my brother are jamming in the living room. Which reminds me: I need to dust off my guitar!
