Sometimes you notice some neat things in your day-to-day activities that bring back memories. Like being single, poor and desperate. For example, it’s so great to have fully functional vehicles. When I get out of my Jeep it beeps if I’ve left my lights on. In my wife’s car it tells you the directions, heats the seats and grips the road like the tires have melted into it. I remember back in the day having a car that I just hoped the door would open and would be able to make it across town without breaking down at least half the time, much less worrying about any features. An AC that functions, oil without that pesky white stuff in it and not having your tire actually fall off of the car. These things are luxurious to me.
Anyways, since I’m already off topic, I guess I’m still steaming from the Carcassonne loss my wife dealt to me last night. I had been dominating her at it with about 6 straight wins but I was horribly crushed 112-78 this game. I’m thinking of posting up my Carcassonne strategy guide I made up one weekend but she’s already gaining an edge on me. Is it wise to post this information? I’ll have to think about it. I did take her down at Battleship, though. That was quite satisfying, considering the last time we played she came from behind and (miraculously) sunk my patrol boat. I mean, I had her battleship pegged and had a win next move (we play until the entire fleet is depleted, complete with madatory explosion sounds and screaming) and she had FOUR different options after hitting it only once. And guess what…she sunk it. Ouchie. I’ll have to play her again until I win, and then officially retire the game…forever. The last Champion in the books. King. Legend. Nice.
For the record, I’m still well ahead in the lifetime standings for both games ;)
