No movie last night – instead we went to dinner with the in-laws, and after BHK and I played some boardgames. She won Labyrinth, and I took Oshi. (also discovered that the oshi set has one extra two-point piece, and one too few one-point pieces. we may play with pyramids in the future. (or penny, nickel, quarter as towers, for that matter)

Both were our first time playing – BHK got labyrinth for $1.61 at the thrift store yesterday… we’ve more than made our entertainment money back in a single sitting. We picked up Oshi from Aardvark a little while back, but hadn’t gotten to play until last night.

Other goodies BHK picked up from the store –

• Green Orvis Mosquito-repellant shirt for Larry
• Green lounge pants for Chris
• Pink Bucket hat for herself
• Green striped shirt for me
• a few books, including Stephen Fry’s The Liar for me, and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook
• a couple of puzzles, still sealed in the box. (corvette 1000 pc, spacewalk, homer simpson and an irish hutch)

Dreamt last night that I’d signed on to join the army for six months. Not really a dream of mine in waking life – a lot of the gang from high school were there – Steve Jacoby, James Dawsey, etc… we were all in training as sort of a semi-serious laugh. My big concern wa sthat I had to bring my own toiletries… like the army wouldn’t provide deodorant or shampoo.

The first 2 parts of the “lost” film Italian Spiderman has been up for a week or two now and it looks to be just as ridiculous — and awesome — as the trailer had indicated. Give me Franco Franchetti (R.I.P) with his porn-star moustache and pump-action shotgun over Toby McGuire any day.
