dial up internet and myspace
when the music on people's myspace page starts, it scares the piss out of me. everytime. i will be looking at the page, enjoying the silence of my empty house, then out of nowhere, Gnarls Barkley will start singing about being crazy and i pretty much scream at the top of my lungs and fall on the ground.
maybe i am a little jumpy. what can you do?
i have learned a new game. diplomacy. in this game, the object is to con your fellow players in to trusting you and then take over Europe one supply center at a time. at first i, not being interested in games such as this, reluctantly sat at the card table in tyrells basement and pretended to know what was going on. i was surrounded by political, and logical masterminds, and felt compleatly out of my league. the game started, and i was Turkey. everyone including myself had little expectations for me or for the country i was portraying, but i quietly started to gain one supply center after another. 6 hours later, i was tied with England, and very proud of myself. then i did what any good gambler would do and quit while i was ahead. now, i didn't quit because i didn't want to lose. i quit because we had been playing a board game of conquest for 6 hours, and that is about all i can take in one sitting.
so that has been my week, diplomacy, friends, and work. how was yours?
