Went to Game night yesterday at the Clampets - met some nice folks and chitty chatted... didn't do a lot of gaming.
A pair of CPAs, Clare- a Teacher of chemistry at the Naval academy, a network cable guy (Eric) in addition to Brent (travel agent), Alison (Pampered Chef Home sales), Nick (not sure what he does) A pretty fascinating study in "nice people who don't share any of my opinions on things". A pretty conservative, heavily church-going bunch, but very kind and tolerant. I think that Amy would like Nick, and that Kev would really dig Clare, if I was of a match-making bent. The game we played was a "get to know you" sort of thing, where you have cards, and try to figure out what a person say if asked questions like "Where'd you last get groceries" / "How often do you Vacuum a month" / "How many Piercings do you Have" / "Favorite Politician".
It was a little shocking to me to hear otherwise similar to myself types say that they thought George Bush was their favorite politician, without a shred of sarcasm or irony. I'll do better to pretend I'm in bizarro-world next time I make my guesses.
Picked up lots of goodies for Bugah and Em for the co-birthday celebration next weekend - Em got Moon Sand, Aqua Dots and a little robot-kitten - Bugah got a Wave-style skateboard, and a 4-up Nerf rocket launcher. I think that they'll be pleased. Plus, I want to play with the Moon Sand and Nerf Gun. BHK picked up some glow in the dark filler Aqua Dots too, so I imagine she'll be "helping" Em make some neat designs as well.
Tonight, we did a more game-oriented game night (One long game of Apples to Apples, and a quick game of Aquarius - Chris won both!) with the in-laws and Louise, after Pizza and watching When Harry Met Sally and a Carol Burnett show blooper reel/retrospective. Strange that there was no mention of Lyle Waggoner.

I was actually just watching a great BBC documentary on the Neo-conservative movement and it's similarities to radical Islam. According to the documentary both feed off of "nightmares," and help to keep people like Bush/Osama in power.
