Good morning!

I thought I would back-track a little this morning...

Yesterday from 1-3pm, I had break from work. I spent 20 mins eating, and hour accidentally sleeping in the College of Science Dean's Office (waiting for the wise and beautiful Catherine to come back from a meeting), and 30 mins talking to Catherine after she finally woke me up. The rest of the office was just whispering and watching me sleep (which is a little strange, but I'll let it pass).

So Catherine and I talked about a bunch of things, and I felt super-recharged when I went back to work. In fact, I remained that way until about 6pm. But then the last two and a half hours dragged - at least I did everything properly!

And when I got to the dorms on my walk back, I called up some of my fishies and got them to come with me to my apartment, where the rest of them were hanging out with Jersey and Tony. Then we played Mafia, and I got to be the Moderator.

Our House Rules:
9 people playing, 2 are killers, 1 is an angel - no one knows who is who
They all go to sleep, and the killers wake up and decide (quietly) who they will kill. They go back to sleep. The angel wakes up and decides who they will protect. Then they go back to sleep. Then everyone wakes up.

Then I get to make up a drastic story of how so-and-so died (or was about to die and miraculously was saved). Then the living people start accusing each other, trying to figure out who the killers are. The 'day' ends when the majority of townspeople decide that one person is a killer and must be hanged/lynched/etc.

Then they all go back to sleep and the killers wake up... and no one knows if they were right, wrong, or killed the angel until the end...

The game ends with several choices: If there are still 2 killers alive and 1 townsperson - the killers win. If there are 1 killer and 2 townspersons and one of the citizens is lynched, the killers win. If there is 1 killer and one angel, the game is a tie. If both killers are killed, the citizens win. And so on and so on.

We played quite a few rounds, and the kiddos really loved it. When they finally went home, Jersey, Tony, and Urug played this strange Ninja game that Urug knew. I sort of watched, but then I went to bed.

And this morning, I slept extra again since I didn't have to get Jersey up!

I plan on doing laundry today, maybe napping a bit. I might even wander over for Asian food for dinner... and I plan on showing up to the fishies' movie party tonight.

So yeah! I hope you all have a wonderful day today!!
