Relaxing nighttime plans for BHK and me the coming week or so ahead:
Yo-yo Girl Cop, The Number 23, and a few rousing games of Penguin Soccer, Martian Chess and Zamboni Wars over popcorn should set us right. Tucking into bed early so we can be up for tomorrow’s Bluegrass Festival.
BHK has been excelling at boardgames lately, especially territory types like Othello(Reversi), Ponte del Diavolo , Just 4 Fun and as always, Pente(we both seem to prefer the 2 or 3-capture variant Keryo-Pente). I still am partial to Hexxagon, Hey-That’s my Fish, and Carcassone H&G (She also is superb at those) – I’m really beginning to dig War of the Roses, which I wouldn’t mind tweaking a bit into an Icehouse/treehouse game.
Speaking of games… Talisman is back? I wonder if they fixed some of the unbalancing aspects, or if they’re remaining true to the original.
Virtually no homeless issues in North Beach… mainly because there’s no support system here… however, I’ve noticed that there are many, many tent cities under the bridges in DC, especially near to the subway track zones. I had my first experience with a guy coming onto the subway, and doing the “may I have your attention, would someone please give me 25 cents so I can get a bus at the next stop?” – I hadn’t seen that since riding the bus in Broward / Dade.
Trip to the doc implies some work to be done. Dentally, I need a mouthful of fillings. Elsewhere, I need to work on my weight, my allergies, my back and leg.
All things in time – Got a few fillings yesterday I need to do 2 or 3 more visits. the bridge and cracked tooth will be dealt with in January.
Random find. A solar-powered bible. Perfect for the Christian Castaway, I guess!
Oh, come on… now the smeller is blamed rather than the smelly? Stinky is in the nose of the sniffer? I’ll leave out the almost obligatory sci-fi / gaming convention comment.
