Operation: Social Life one-month report

[feuervogel]

Poker night was fun. I won/tied for first (I took my first hand with a full house). It was all people I already know, including two of my tai chi teachers (they're married). There wasn't a whole lot of Deep Conversation or anything, but it was nice.

Game night went well. We had 6 RSVPs, then one of them broke her leg, so we went down to 4 (+ me & Ben). We played Lego pictionary for a while, then switched to a ridiculous game called King's Blood, which is sort of like Uno x dominoes with anime-style drawings of people. Not a whole lot of Deep Conversation, though we had some "OMGWTF TRUMP" with our pizza. Some of the people I invited couldn't make it this month but wanted me to let them know about next month etc, so I'll call it a success. (Also it makes us clean the house, which otherwise wouldn't get done.)

That sounds like a good game night! Hopefully it will continue to be a success. :)

I think breaking one's leg is a suitable excuse for not attending a party.

King's Blood would be vastly funnier w/ characters from other properties or even real people. Utena marries Leia; their kid is Lady Gaga!

Yeah, I'm sorely tempted to do this. In fact I think many years ago I was working on a text file with replacement card lists, maybe I can dig it up. And I have better printers at home since I moved my office equipment here...

(Of course, back in the day I'd have done an entirely anime set, but now we have a bunch of people who probably wouldn't recognize most of that. So if I do it, I should revise to have a lot more drawn from other pop culture sources.)
