Entertaining ourselves

One of the most exciting aspects of spending time together has been discovering the forms of entertainment we gravitate towards. I have a great interest in games. Neil has a large collection of Killer Bunnies, and I have owned a copy, but had not had the opportunity to learn and play the game. We played Killer bunnies twice with the neighbors while Neil visited, and it was very enjoyable. We also played Uno, Pop Belly, Top Trumps, Guess Who, and Carcassone with Michael. We added Monty Python Fluxx to our collection and had two riotess nights of playing together. I introduced Neil to Settlers of Catan, and Memoir 44, and we found that when we had some extra time on our hands we were both quite keen to play a quick game.

We also got to spend some time watching some TV. Neil shared Xmen with me, and I really liked it and look forward to seeing the last episode. We watched a few British comedy series (Monty Python and League of Gentlemen ) and I couldn't get enough of the characters. We browsed comics, made dinners, listened to music and talked (as usual). You can see some clips of League of Gentlemen on the right hand column youtube link.

We also had a lot of fun playing Rock Band. We each took turns at singing, drums, and guitar.

Neil is back in the UK now and there are a few busy weeks ahead of both of us before I am visiting over Christmas. I am really excited about the visit and probably will not be posting til sometime while I am there.
