Dozens of Deaths at Bonnie’s Cabin

Bonnie had her Chalet Christening, which was extremely near the old Freedonia stomping grounds we used to tred.

For the first time in a while we were able to get quite a number of people in one place, sitting, and talking. So, I introduced a new game to the group.

I won’t go into all the details and variations, but the general gist is that we played the role of villagers who were being tormented by werewovles, and in an effort to stop the killings, we’d go on a lynching.

We played several games, each consiting of several rounds, and the result was tons of innocent deaths combined with just the right amount of mayhem.

I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but we ended up doing group improv by the time all was said and done. Highlights included Alan making some rather obscure hand gestures which were taken out of context, while shortly later Bonnie and James were trapped in a women’s prison and despite her best efforts, professing to the rest of the inmates James’s talent.

Bowls of Speghetti

Last night I managed to swing by the new candy store in Ashburn; right as I walked in a promotional balloon popped. I would have considered it conincidence, until someone else walked in and another balloon popped. My guess is that they have a remote control connected to a sensor, and they pop the balloons with infrared lasers in order to get your attention. Pretty clever.

Went to Movie Night(tm) last night, and it felt like months since I’ve been. That might be due to the fact it was months since I’ve been. We watched Thumbtanic and BatThumb (and a whole lot of kids shows before the main event). The young-one has gone from baby to toddler in the blink of an eye, has hair, is running around, and whapping mommy. It was hard to say which was more entertaining.

That evening I spilled the news about the surprise party happening tonight. Actually, it’s not so much a surprise as in he won’t know it’s coming, but more of a surprise that we recently thought to do it.

The rest of the night was spent doing Unix Regular Expressions.
