HOUSE RULES

Kristen came over tonight to see the new apartment and visit with me, Terry & JoEllen. We ate chocolate chip cookies and played UNO and Probe.
Playing UNO for the first time with people can be a drag because you have the standard argument over whose rules to follow. Do you have to keep drawing cards until you can play? Can you stack draw two cards?
The deck we used was an ancient boxed set circa '80, so it had a printed copy of the rules (along with a cool offer for an UNO t-shirt Tutti would have loved). Of course, Terry insisted that we strictly follow the printed rules (translate to "have no fun"). I think since it was my deck, we should have played by the rules I grew up playing. What do you think?

PASSION OF THE MOMENT: JAVA SHAKES

Often I get swept away in a passion of the moment. This week's is culinary: the new Nestle Ice Java Chocolate Mocha. Mixed in the blender with vanilla ice cream and a dash of milk, it makes a milkshake that makes me say, "Yum!" It's better than the coffee milkshakes I get at Cinemark. There's some free advertising for Nestle, but it was so good I wanted to share it with you! Enjoy!

BATMAN BEGINS BADLY

Batman Begins: YAWN

I dare you to tell me the name of a worse movie.
