I've heard that Settlers of Catan was in reality a temporal wormhole.

People brought out the game on Friday night and before they knew it, it was Monday morning.

I think I'm pretty overworked and in desperate need of a break ... I just tried to wash my hair with shaving cream. And it wasn't even like I just confused the two bottles for a second, no, I was actually putting shaving cream on top of my head before I realized what I was doing. Maybe I should just give up on today.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Wish I could join. :) I do have some friends who like board games but the problem is getting enough of them together as they live all over the country and keep very different schedules.

Yep, that's definitely true. Wish I could do that sort of thing more often with my friends as well.

Good to hear your first day went well. It seems logical that they would start with high school level stuff and work their way up from there, as most students are probably fresh out of high school. Seems like you joined at the right time. :)

Hey, how are you doing? :)

Lucky you didn't use the razor as well... Or did you?!

Aah, wargaming socializing, let me tell thee of the days of nerd adventure. The biting of furniture when you throw 30 plus dice for your ork mob of 15 shoota boyz and only manage to hit with 3 and those 3 fail to penetrate armour. The pulling of hair when the other guy manages to roll 5 consecutive sixes allowing him to penetrate your tank with what's basically a pop gun and obliterate your tank crew. The flying of teeth as you punch him in the mouth...

Good times.

Sounds like you're safer alone in front of your PC...

Hello! We're doing pretty well for the most part, though today our day started at about 3am, as unfortunately Sarge's day had started about then by getting sick. He's okay, just has a sensitive belly like his dad, and takes prevacid daily... sometimes if he doesn't eat enough before bed or if he sleeps too long, he'll wake up to being sick... This morning, it didn't wake me up right away, so I woke to find the lady already up and cleaning out his kennel, putting the bed cover in the wash and such... then she had to rush out the door to work.
Sarge seems to be feeling like his normal self again, and is trying really hard to convince me that tug-of-war is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS today. ;)
I'm trying to think of something nice to make for dinner to try and make her night a bit easier when she gets home. Been playing this record while I work on cleaning the kitchen: Neutral Milk Hotel - "Ferris Wheel On Fire EP

I've been in a bit of a fog, not necessarily in a bad way at all, just a bit distant for some reason, having a bit of trouble focusing on and interacting with the world... I think that's why I haven't said much, I've realized I'm not certain at the moment how to ask people questions about their lives, as I'm so quickly and easily distracted lately and have trouble keeping my own thoughts straight. ;) it's a mind-cycle thing, I suppose... I'll be right as rain in no time and making a bit more sense. But only a bit. ;)

I hope you are well! Glad you got some kitchen cleaning done... I did a lot of that today as well... now that I've gotten a good bit of catch-up cleaning done, it's a lot easier to tackle the day-to-day. :)

Level of surprise that your first day went just fine? Zero.

Haha no, I wasn't quite that far gone. ;)

But I can't make people eat their "lucky dice" in a computer game.

Good call. Took 10 hours to clear that, had a good time doing so, and it cost 5 dollars.

Thankfully they're staying outside. Would be drowning the place in bug spray otherwise. Haven't seen that one, but it sounds painful so I'll try to find it at some point.
Silly person. If "usefulness" (a highly subjective term all by itself) was a requirement for posting, 95 percent of everything I type would be thrown out. ;)

I for one welcome our new ant overlords.

no idea what i just did to the forums... formatting disaster... i'll try again in a few, just took a phone call and clearly can't multi-task :)

Yeah! Some games have strange effects over reality.
One time while playing the Illuminati card game I thought the sun was rising from the west.

You're doing the right thing taking things slowly and 'as and when'. I've not experienced anything similar in the long term, so I can only wonder at how you manage. Your wife sounds like a godsend.

And as for Sarge, if he's keen to play a game get him to look at this

It'll be a while until its available so he'll have to be content with pictures until then :-)
You mean it doesn't rise in the west there?

As long as you don't confuse another white sticky substance with hair gel you don't have anything to worry about.

Yep, that makes much more sense than the first time around, when the guy decided to mathematically demonstrate that 1+1=2, which we took as an indication to buy vaseline in industrial drums. Or other horror stories of college professors I'd heard about.
Although the first time I gotta admit it wasn't that bad. I just had a lot of problems back then... ok, ok, I spent too much time licking my own balls instead of paying attention.

I like to think I'm a bit more mature now.
That shows more faith than I had. Thanks.

A funny thing happened today. When I went to the library's coffe machine, I found myself surrounded by american accents. North-american ones. And I don't mean Mexico.
