Happy New Year!

"You are insane, wounded... with a beggar in tow!"  Um... not exactly the new year wishes one would bestow on a friend, but when it came to story and character development, it at least made things interesting. 

Steph had invited us to a New Year's Eve-ning of board games. 

Our first, Tales of the Arabian Nights, is like a choose your own adventure book in game form.  Our characters were decked out with a number of talents and skills, but then dealt quest cards and given scenarios to react to (and develop the story) based on the values rolled on the dice. 

Michael: My quest is, "Purchase a Slave".

Stephen: "It's so romantic, like Pretty Woman"

Paul and I played one character together... who probably seemed a bit bi-polar.  He consistently wanted to be kind, but I took this as my chance to be mean :P 

Next up, was Scotland's Yard.  But before Steph could make us run around too much as X, we realised it was almost midnight. 




Mr. Anderson uncapped the bottle of bubbly. 
And the cork went flying! 



















Only six more minutes to go...




...three, two, one...

Happy new year!  Drink (the Mystic Fire, Mystic River...)!
 
Paul reminds me 2011 is prime.  May it be good to you all.
