I'm thinking about reinstalling Spore again. Did anyone buy the expansion? Did it make the game more fun?

I was chatting with Lisa about doing nice things and she expressed some incredulity that I would find people being nice a good thing. Sure, she was joking, but the example she used is one in which I find we really differ. I make a distinction between being nice, or doing nice things and being a sucker ( Read more... )

I love being absurd. Though it can drive Lisa crazy, I love to misinterpret a statement and build a logical but absurd structure upon it which culminates either in world destruction or baby Zoroaster crying. The lure of witty wordplay combined with using logic to subvert itself is hilarious to me. While I know that using bizarre conclusions and ( Read more... )

I'm planning on cutting my hair short and spiking it like I did when I was a kid. I work in an environment where this won't be a problem for me, and I've wanted to do it for a while. This I need no advice on ( Read more... )

Of course I didn't know their address and was woken up at 4:20am out of a sound sleep by a woman sobbing and telling someone not to touch her. I just spoke with the police officer, and have no idea if they need anything more than the info I just gave them.

I have just returned from running errands, one super secret errand and one to the Post Office. I thought that since I'm getting an awesome trip to Italy this summer, I might as well do my part and get a passport. This didn't take very long at the Post Office, but as we're currently having a snazzy snow/sleet/rain mixture falling on slushy half ( Read more... )

Today I ordered Carcassonne Big Box and War of the Ring. I've been playing Arkham Horror at a friends house almost every week and enjoy the experience quite a bit, so I hopped on the BoardGameGeek website and spent about an hour reading though reviews and descriptions of games until I found the one I wanted. Not content with merely one $50 game ( Read more... )
