girls!! drink!! feck!!

Happy St. Patricks day to all!

I think this year, instead of going to a crowded irish pub, I'll try to have people over to have a pint, and do a father ted marathon. I've gotten seasons 1-3 off of digital distractions, and i'm working through them slowly. and any excuse to get some people together for games.

Speaking of games, I've been hooked on Gran Turismo 4 lately. Jeremy is also working along on it, at almost the same pace, so we can compare notes. I was thinking about getting a driving wheel and pedals for the game, since it would be really fun, and would make the rally courses easier to navigate. but then, i might just feel silly buying a wheel. I'd like to have something that is compatible with the PS2 as well as the PC, so i can hook it up for driving games there too. I'll have to do some research.

And on the board game side of things, I finally got to play a full game of Franks zoo. It's a fun little card game, with a good theme. I haven't quite figured out much strategy to it, but its fun to play anyways. and if you get tired of playing it the normal way, you can change it up by using the rotating partners scheme. like all good german games, it has a come-from-behind mechanic, such that the last place person leads out.

Not much is new, really. Other than that. Moby's coming to montreal, with buck 65, so I'm really looking forward to that show. Mobys on tour cause of his new album out this month, hotel.

Work is going allright. my friend from work, joe, has moved on to another gig. at about the same time, my other friend and ex-coworker phil started working in his place. so its nice that i have at least one good friend at the workplace these days.

Thats it for now.
