Exile

Alrighty, so I heard Kiss You All Over by Exile today on the radio. Awesome. It reminded me of Shan, Mo and my River apt (the Grays) and cleaning that apartment in high heels listening to that song. That got me to thinking of Tipsy, the rabbit, and I quickly shifted my thoughts on that to other things. For instance, did I make up that we once heard a lot of banging and clanging upstairs and went up to find out what the heck was going on that Jamie (last name escapes me) was only wearing tube socks and that he was "wrestling" with other football players? I really don't think that I would conjure something like that, because contrary to general public belief, that's not really my style...
That aside, I really miss playing Taboo. Don't get me wrong, peek a boo is cool and all, but Taboo and beer is, well, different. And, I miss when cooking basically just meant making brownies.

I miss playing Taboo too. I've played it a few times post-Dartmouth, and it's just not the same. We need to have Amanda there to run the show and keep strict track of the score. And of course we need Doug there to remind us that a bagpipe is a bag... with pipes. Sorry, douglay, couldn't resist :)

Also, what was that one game we played where you had to make up definitions for a word, and one of them was actually the right one? I think Kevin was way too good at that game.

That would be Balderdash, Jonathan. Great game.

That's it. Thanks TNT. I also have fond memories of playing Settlers of Catan. "brick for wood for sheep for wheat"

I love Settlers! We never play it now because no one wants to sit around long enough to learn it (and we always have to wait until the kiddos are asleep since they'd be way too interested in all the little pieces).

We will definitely teach them how to play when the time comes, though...I wonder how long we have to give them.

kris, that really happened with our upstairs neighbors. and i'm pretty sure jamie wasn't the only one in just tube socks. you told of a pretty traumatizing sight, if i remember correctly.
but what i don't remember is cleaning in high heels. did i even own any high heels in college?

Kristin said...

Or clean???
just kidding!! I'm pretty sure that it was an isolated incident.

i'm deeply hurt by the cleaning comment, kris. i kept my cave very clean and tidy. and i'm not the one who ganged up against my lovely sweet roommate and doused her and the entire kitchen with whipped cream... which turned into disgusting sour milk the next morning. nor did i purchase a bunny to poop on the carpet. so don't you dare call me the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. =) hee hee

Taboo and beer is fun, but Taboo and Jello shots are even better!!
