This weekend was a lot of fun. It was the 'last weekend of Christmas holidays', which is a funny thing to say, because I worked last week except for New Year's Day. Still, that's absolutely what it felt like. Tomorrow (gasp!) is the first 'real' day of work. Not that the other days weren't work, but I got to where jeans, it was pretty dead at the office, and you know, the whole....er, 9-5 thing ;)
So anyway, I do have to go back to work tomorrow "for serious", but only for 3.5 days. Then I'm off out east, and I couldn't be more stoked.
Yesterday, I went over to Toby and Bridget's place for dinner (thanks guys!). Jayanti + Tracy & Tyler were there, and I think everyone had a great time. I know I did. After dinner, we got to see the 'best of' album of Toby and Bridget's Germany trip. They had some sweet shots, and it was lots of fun to reminisce. (Toby & Bridget and Jayanti were the people that I was visiting in Germany, in Karlsruhe and Munich respectively).
On to games:
We (okay, mostly me) were talking about Musical Chairs Dance Off at dinner. Technically it was an idea that I had on New Years, but it popped into mind again last night because Toby and Bridget have a nice big table. Musical Chairs Dance Off is very similar to garden variety musical chairs, with a couple of small differences. One: you don't just walk around the table when the music is going, you DANCE. Yes, drinking or drugs might make this game a lot more fun. Two: you alternate who plays/stops the music. This 'it' person gets to control when the music starts and stops, based on the dancing. Like what you see? Reward the dancer. Lack of effort? Stop the music when they aren't need a chair to get them out. Also, you could have fun with the music. I'm thinking Thriller (MJ) and Walk Like an Egyptian (the Bangles) would be two obvious choices to see what people could do with. Thoughts? Let's get drunk and play, no?
A 'real' fun game that I got to play this weekend is Bohnanza (thanks Terri!). It's German (score one point already, in my world....bohn = bean), and has cute little cartoon beans. My favorite is Green Bean, who is clearly drunk and has just barfed (in his cartoon). Anyway, we (being Lindsay, Terri and myself) played today, and it's super fun. We hung out in Tim Hortons for some time! We should PLAY some time. I won't try to explain the rules - it would be better if we just play. Maybe we can START with Bohnanza and go for Musical Chairs Dance Off later in the night. Who's in?
