The past couple of days and nights have blended together seamlessly to produce an unending string of sleeping, eating and playing. I've done nothing constructive whatsoever and i've even stayed away from the bane of most of my all-nighters, computers. James, Adam and Victor have been over just about every night and we've been up watching movies (Rush Hour 2, Made) and playing games (Scrabble, Monopoly, Win Lose or Draw). George is back for a week or so and we've gone shopping a little bit but overall we've just been sitting around doing nothing, except for the occassional dinner run or last night's Fumari outing with Babbs and two of his friends.



We had Christmas eve dinner at our house and a couple of family friends came over as well as two of my cousins and it was cool because Babbs, Hong and Victor stayed for dinner. My knee is officially out of commission because i saw a chiropractor a few days back and he pulled some stuff and now it's stronger but he advises against doing anything strenuous. He says it should be ok with time but it might be cartilage damage if it doesn't get better soon. We'll see.



George is the official worst Win Lose or Draw player ever. Just at drawing though. Ok, maybe not worst but definitely the most amusing. Ask her to draw any animal (dog, elephant, aardvark, etc) and she ends up drawing a cat. Victor is the official "best words used in a Scrabble" setting player because he kept on putting down crazy words like "fixation", "oeuvre", "bovine" and many others. We pretty much play Scrabble every night and we've evolved into a version we call "Scribble" which allows us to switch letters in our hand for letters on the board if the word still makes sense. I've never played the Michigan off-shoot Squabble before but i'm wondering if that's anything at all like what Squabble is?
