...for which I was—quite sincerely—convinced during the first thirty minutes that it was actually called *neighborhood games*... thinking they were reading me cards about growing up in different suburbs... you know... all that nonsense 😬
It’s true—I intend to forget all about playing it the moment I step onto the ferry—but I have this nagging feeling that I’ll end up playing it with the same passion every single summer... just ask me again in August.

A rough neighborhood? Ugh. :ignorant: I ended up in a tough part of Chicago during my upper elementary years—that’s why I managed to turn out somewhat sane today. 🙂
dmj said:I honestly can't tell if your constant references to being "sent to Mackinac Island" are just a coincidence—or if it's one of those regional slang terms from back home that somehow managed to spread nationwide. You know, that specific feeling when someone mentions being sent away to Mackinac Island... 😕 😬
We send the absolute worst cases from all over the States to Key West. Over on Mackinac Island, they declare a state of emergency the moment any of them actually manages to escape.
Then you have those completely out-of-it types—the ones just standing in the yard in their striped pajamas, gripping the fence and staring at you while begging for a cigarette... 😢
Kefir, absolutely. 😍 It has that nice, subtle effervescence... mmmm.
Though—I did cheat on it today with some Greek yogurt, simply because the only thing available at the grocery store was that overly sweet stuff with 0.9% fat... which is just not edible.
You academics... meanwhile, us regular folks just head to the theater.
You organized those films quite nicely—so I will simply say—don't bother with the romances. Watch the non-romances first 🙂 edit: actually, no, let's swap 4 and 3.
colin 😍 has anyone seen Nanny McPhee? I have sat through all sorts of garbage starring him, but this one... somehow scares me...
Alright, here is the second list—my current ranking of the most infuriating printers out there.
1. HP DesignJet 100 (still has about 65 large-format sheets left to go 🙂) 2. HP OfficeJet 6210 (I can't even find it on the network at all 🙂) 3. Lexmark Optra M410 (nobody uses this thing anymore)
Look, you’re expecting too much from a DJ—it's impossible to know what's going to be on the playlist this week... it's only Tuesday, after all.🙂
