turkeyn..
so for the first time, i had two consecutive turkey dinners in a row--and the second wasnt leftovers. since esther was workin on thurs, my parents magnanimously drove up and cooked a dinner for her/us. i think ive had enough tryptophan for my winter hibernation. but it was really good--both dinners were good. now, its turkey sandwiches for a wk..
at the dinner i went to on thurs, i ended up playin this new board game called the settlers of catan. its actually not new (been out since 96), but ive never seen or heard it before. apparently its big in boston. but it was pretty coo cuz its kinda like risk or a turn-based age of empires (i guess that would make it civilization?). you hafta manage resources while makin settlements and roads. the unique quirk in this board game is that a new landscape is constructed every time so youre always playin a different board. pretty fun..
so i start work in two days and its kinda been weird thinkin about it. itll definitely be an adjustment to be back in that mode, but hopefully not too big of one. i realized, however, that its not just the 'work' part ill have to acclimate myself to but also the 'social' aspect. not that ive been a hermit since movin here in june, but its not like ive really made new friends w/ anybody other than the lawn i pick the dogs crap off of. so actually bein pleasant, makin conversation, and tryin to build a relationship may be a hurdle. man, i make it sound like im dreadin it--in fact, im not. i wouldnt say im eagerly lookin forward to it but it would be nice to meet some new people. more often than not, im surprised by how unique a person is once i get to know him/her. man, i sound terrible..
anyways, i should enjoy my last couple days. madden all the way..
