The curse of facebook

Is it just me, or is there an inverse correlation between amount of time spent on facebook and amount of time spent blogging? Especially if there is a Blackberry thrown into the mix.

Somehow, the myspace thing never went very far with me, but facebook... it's a monster. You casually log in to change your status, and suddenly it's 18 quizzes, 3 chats, and 2 pillow fights later. Most disturbing.

Swine flu safety

"Bad flu epidemics can hit young adults hardest because they provoke their powerful immune systems into overreaction, so to stay healthy spend the next few weeks drunk and sleep-deprived to keep yours suppressed." --xkcd.com

Sounds like good medical advice to me.

We're playing Cranium next, izzle

Things I learned or reminded myself last night:

Quelf would benefit from having more players than 4 at a time. That being said, it was still pretty funny with just four.
Catchphrase is all it's cracked up to be.
Drinking a bottle of beer as a shot is not.
Sopapilla cheesecake is absolutely delicious.
Coleman lanterns are as effective as labeled.
Concrete is hard.

I enjoyed game night as a whole, but will in the future make some key changes to avoid some of the less fun points of the evening. After all, I'd like it to become a regular event, and for that to happen, the following must be true:

Fun > Not Fun

Here's to the next night, hopefully not too far into the future.

A dead log

Despite many stories about my ability to function on minimal to no sleep, there are times when it all catches up on you. I got home yesterday after stopping at Norma's for some chicken and dressing (covered in gravy, and oh so good!) for my breakfast/dinner after work and proceeded to take a nap from about 8 pm to 7 am.

May I say, I feel great! It's been a while since I got up without wanting to go back to sleep.

Game Night!

I'm excited about the upcoming game night we've got cooking, and while at the mall today I picked up a game that sounds promising: Quelf. I hate to tell everyone, but Autumn has already staked out Super Ninja Monkey, so don't even try.

Sushi!

About a week ago I noticed that one of the big corner retail lots in my apartment building had some activity going on within. This makes me happy, and idly I hoped for something good to pop up. Previously, it had housed an Italian restaurant, and I think one other short lived business. I'm still sad about the closure of a Cold Stone Creamery last year (it was in a different unit, though).

So yesterday, a sign had sprouted: SUSHI WORLD. What? I'm going to have sushi available to me downstairs? This might be the best idea ever!! I just hope it's decent stuff.
