The Bishop of Blokus
We had our good friends Brent and Heather over to play some blokus and eat some very delicious chicken noodle dish (thanks Heather!). After dinner we took to playing a game they brought called "Blokus". Turns out Brent is so good at this game that he's been annointed the Bishop of Blokus:
You can even play Blokus online!
Big Winner
We had some of my coworkers over for our semi-regular poker game, and guess who was the big winner:
It was a great last hand - the other guy (Vincent) had a full house and I had four-of-a-kind with an ace high. Very exciting when we both went all in!
Shannon the “Big Winner”
We had our annual work poker tournament over Halloween weekend at Vincent's house - it was a blast. Shannon, one of only two people there who were "noobies" when it came to Texas Hold 'Em, ended up winning the whole tournament (which netted her a cool $105)!
Here she is after the final hand:
I Got a Wii!!
I know it's bad form to post three times in one day but I MUST celebrate what just happened...
I GOT A Wii!!
I am so unbelievably excited, it's difficult to describe. I just can't wait for it to arrive... should be here in a few days.
Circuit City still had a few left when I checked out (a co-worker was trying to get one too). Thanks to WiiTracker for the tipoff.
Acrobots and Screamin’ Beans
I love the internet for many reasons. One reason is that I occasionally stumble upon little things that make me giggle, then smile, and then waste 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing. Today I have two such wonderfully quirky things to share with you:
The first is Acrobots, a hypnotic time drain. You control small three-armed "acrobots" as they gracefully try to keep each other aloft. There's not much point to it - and yet I still found it quite enthralling.
The second one, Screamin' Beans, makes me laugh hysterically... but I'm not sure why. You'll want to mute your sound if there are other people around. Just keep clicking on things - you'll see what happens! I love the super saiyan reference at the end too!
