In all seriousness, yesterday was packed.
Though I don't know how I would have pulled that off facetiously.
Maybe "Tee hee hee yesterday was packed tighter than thatch!"
Yeah. Not really....
Anywho though, the Greek Food Fest was once again lovely. And the events to follow of course. :D Those being an adventure to the dollar store, getting caught in torrents of rain [monsoon almost....], a very [relatively] quick game of monopoly, the end of one movie, and the start of another.
As we [we being two of my very good friends and I] were leaving the Greek Food Fest [sad day!], we happened to see in line our English teacher. We were psyched! Two days out of school and Huzzah! Here he was! :D It was absolutely lovely. He was there with his brother and his brother's lady. Very cool.
After that we were on our way back to my house, when the not-so-neon dollar store sign popped out at me, and I exclaimed [yes, exclaimed] "Let's go to the dollar store!" Just like that too. So... a few decades and one funny picture [not for you yet] later, we finally made our purchases and skedaddled out. Our main motivation for even going [besides me] was it was raining profusely, and it was difficult to drive in. Of course we got drenched as we were escaping nature, but once inside there was immediately a display of hula hoops and tropical jazz. The hula hoops were ridiculous, mainly because there was no weight to them. Another sad day! However, the tropical jazz definitely tricked our minds into thinking it was warm. Ish. Well.... It was half way effective. :D
After braving the wild and getting back into the car, we went to my house, where we were pleasantly surprised to find my brother and his family. Huzzah! Monopoly was a distinct possibility at this time! They were originally going to be out of town, but seeing as they weren't, we could SO! include them. However, they didn't entirely was to play, because a. they were watching The Fugitive, and b. they had to go home relatively soon. In which case, we started our game, and about 47 minutes later it was over. It all started out well, sans Martin getting three of the Railroads and two of the yellows. That wasn't horrible, until a trade happened and he started to put houses on them. Then we all just died. Once I hit Marvin's Gardens with $1000+ rent, I just quit and gave him all my property and cash. I didn't feel like mortgaging everything. So I went and cut watermelon instead. Oooh! Call me emo! Just kidding. It shortly ended when my other friend quit [and for good reason!]. Then we watermelon-ed it up, and ended up watching The Princess Bride, which I really actually just slept through most of.
We even took pictures before and after Monopoly. Of course the before included the winner, and the after did NOT!!! No, George Washington was not the winner. Close, but no cigar. :D
Today, my recurring good friend and I decided to join Boise's Scrabble Club. Heckess! :D So we went to the designated place, looked around for a few minutes becuase we couldn't find it, and ran into our English teacher again. We decided that all we have to do to keep seeing him [in a non-creepy way of course] was continue our cultural experience. Yeah. Weraq. However, he wasn't there for Scrabble.... It was totally ok though. [: Gads. He's probably going to think we're stalking him or something.... :D
As to the actual club, it was weak sauce in numbers, but hot sauce in skill. I pretty much died. Uh yeah. Not only that, but apparently you're not allowed to look words up before you play them, unless they're challenged. I immediately felt naked without my dictinoary. Talk about insecure! Take away my makeup, clothes and shoes, but not my dictionary! Gads. That was embarrassing, primarily becuase I misplayed ersatzes as erzates. Still a bingo, but it went unchallenged, and I felt like a complete numbskull when I looked it up and it was ersatz[es]. Very sad! It was my only bingo of the game, and it was a really low scoring game. However, my opponent did amazingly! :D She kicked my trash, AND! it was one of her first official plays of the game. Love it! We almost went with the intent of picking up cute bookstore guys, but seeing as the other Scrabblers were all +60 it didn't quite happen.
-Sigh-
That all turned out more humorous than I intended....
Oh well. I'm out to do something productive. Cheers! :D
