Saturday Anita had to work, but Phil, Sarah, Jess, and Phil’s friend Tom came over and played Mao 1. It’s a great game – and surprisingly effective at bringing about a represive dictatorial feel in the players (who thought that could be so much fun?).
We played a variant where after winning 3 rounds you could make up your own rule… my personal favorite was (my rule): you have to use rapper hands whenever you call penalty on someone.

So, we use this as an opportunity to blame other people and talk about who should have done what and why we weren’t prepaired and aren’t handling the situation well now [link].
So – Capture the Flag was a lot of fun. We played at the Park of Roses on August 21 2005 (after sundown). We had 9 people show and had a great time, though we were out classed severely by some “in shape” players. I’m hoping to end up with more people in a bigger area for the next game on September 9th (friday) at an unknown location.
Google is incredible.

That’s right, it’s cute-fest-2005 in our apartment right now. We got a pair of 8 6 week old kittens on Sunday from Anita’s co-worker who got them dumped on her by her mom.

Nova actually submitted to them, belly up and looking away; our guard dog proving her grit once again.
