Whistler!

I went to Whistler for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to go into too much detail about that, but will instead post this video documenting our non-skiing adventures.

Needless to say, I had a grand old time. We took many pictures and videos. Maybe I'll post some of them later

My compliments to whoever decided to use Ratatat as the opening music.

The only way I can think of real money Monopoly working would be an entry fee going into a pool (or, I guess, the bank). Like $50 a person. And whatever's left in the pool at the end gets divided between everybody, but you get to keep the cash you have in the game.

Or something.

How's the west?

I will pass on your compliments to Justin -- the man with a Macbook, iMovie and Final Cut Pro

The east is... eastly. I'm not up to much right now - hoping to start auditioning for things soon, doing some writing on my own time. Also some freelance writing, which is like writing on someone else's time.

Monopoly: I guess beyond etiquette and preference, the only logistical problems you have to work out are, "What happens if the bank runs out of money?" and, "What happens at the end?"

The bank in regular Monopoly has just over $15000 dollars in it. So with a $30 buy-in, as long as you have five people, you should be safe.

And I guess you could just use regular rules for end-of-the-game calculations. Full price for all unmortgaged properties, houses, and hotels. Half-price (I think) for mortgaged...

Yeah, actually, that's not as complicated as I thought it would be.
