I had my only final of the quarter today. Technically, then, I am on break.

But I will probably spend much of this break trying to put together bits for next quarter. There's a deadline on New Year's Eve that (having already given up on this Friday) I may try to reach.

Hey, pssst...




DON'T FORGET TO HAVE A BREAK!!!

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
What I mean is, let's all drink beer and play board games on Wednesday night. Or something like that.

[identity profile] trochee.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I could possibly be convinced.

Tell me more.

We supply the beer and scrabble/farming/illuminati/taboo and fireplace... You supply your girlfriend and any persons/games/beer that might want to come. Other possible attendees may include Katie, Brian & [livejournal.com profile] omeyotl...

Interested yet?

i can bring along games/beer; I'll let ms. Boo make her own decision.

I assume you've played Scrabble with [personal profile] trochee before? If not, be warned!

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I can only imagine. In fact, we're trying to think of a way to handicap him somehow... To level the playing field ;-)

[identity profile] trochee.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
i think the aforementioned beer might be a possibility.

[identity profile] lapartera.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Beer might help, as he mentioned, but he started beating me when he was about 8 and I am a reasonably good player! We couldn't use beer then, but I wanted to! And Boggle. Forget it. He'd need more than beer to lose at Boggle. It's really kind of a downer when he has 45 words and you have 15 - and thought you were doing well with the 15. :-)

so now you see why I'm letting Ms. [livejournal.com profile] imtboo make her own call about whether she wants to deal with me and my Scrabbling.

[identity profile] boobirdsfly.livejournal.com 2005-12-14 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well i can deal with you winning. As long as you know how to do it and be kind.

Sadly, I am not on break...
Wednesday is a middle of the week night for me...
I might have to pass due to current state of blahness and 10 years of sailing around the world playing board games...
but you kids have fun !
Maybe next time...

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-14 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry to hear about the blahness -- it can sometimes be a Risk, even Taboo to go out when you feel like Scrabble has a Monopoly on your Cranium. Of course, the playing of board games can sometimes be just a Trivial Pursuit prompting one to throw up their hands and scream Yahtzee! in a fit of Balderdash.

Yes, I'm aware it makes no sense. It's just my attempt to cheer your blahness. Cheers!

That was funny !
My blahness is slighttly better. Due to the eradicating of evil birth control pill.
I say no to these kinds of hormones ...

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I tried the pill for a week or so a few years back. Personally, it made me (and others) feel like I was going crazy. I like to think of my sensitivity to hormonal changes as a gift, rather than a curse. Of course, that's a matter of opinion...

[identity profile] boobirdsfly.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
So..... can i ask ... what do you do ? YOu can email me if you prefer...

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
we rely on latex. good 'ol sucky latex.

[identity profile] boobirdsfly.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
yup.
:(

[identity profile] trochee.livejournal.com 2005-12-14 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
um...

farming? I think a game I do not know.

[identity profile] ex-caracola454.livejournal.com 2005-12-14 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I've never played it either---something these rural Texans came up with*! It is (I quote) "one of the greatest games ever created. It has almost no strategy or brain power required, yet is incredibly fun."



*"...and was actually invented in Washington."

The catch phrase is "Plow the back 40 on your kitchen table!" What genius!

It is a low stress sort of family game that will make even the most jaded world-travelling gamer twinkle with delight.

Well , now you're talking.
