Game Day!

No silly, not football. Board games, or card games whichever comes first.
A couple of friends are coming to play board games on sunday and I am way excited! We will probably play a couple rounds of Munchkin. My friends, being the coolest on the planet, have most of the different versions of the card game between us. The best part is that you can intermix the cards of 2 of the games to come up with varying facets of play.
Another game we might play is Gloom. We bought it a while ago but have yet to play it with more then 2 players. I'm so excited! Now I should come up with some snacky stuff to make for my guests.

Days Gone By: Rocketship Slide

I was watching this year's Burning Man Build Video on Boing Boing and one of the structures reminded me of a rocket ship slide on a playground my grandmother used to take me to as a child. I did a google search and found that many people have blogged about these slides before. The top one is in Richardson, Texas - maybe I'll try to go there sometime and have some oldschool fun. I really hate today's playgrounds, no imagination and no stuff to get hurt on. Where's the fun in that? I'm sure it's so people don't sue the pants of small town governments, but isn't there a workaround - like "play at your own risk"? Just Sayin'.
