The Book of Ashes

Gerrys games night 9:08AM

Yeah baby, 4 hours sleep and I'm feeling pretty damn good. Hell Pizza's rock. I've just had a Mayhem, a kind of hot chicken one with rice and curry or something but damn it was good reheated for breakfast. I stayed up talking till about 3:30 or 4 to Fi then read my book for a while. Gerry probably had troubles getting to sleep and now she'll be pissed that I'm up and about so early.

Last night Gerry organised a games night with some of her friends. Her friends are pretty cool I've got to say and I had an excellent night. We started off playing Taboo which I had never played before. It takes a couple of rounds before you get the hang of it, but its heaps of fun. Next Gerry decided I was to show off my Black Magic trick. This is where someone in leage with me goes out of the room and then others in the room point to an object then the other person comes back in and I say is it this, is it that and the person always gets it right. We did this lots of times and ruling out what I was saying by me just pointing to objects and ruling out my body lanuage by me just speaking and standing behind the guesser. It still took people ages, there is so much enjoyment in others frustration I've decided :)

Next we played Pictionary. That was pretty cool, I like this game. We were doing alright for a while then our team lost interest a bit, but it was heaps of fun. I drank heaps of coke and have only about a nip left of Kahlua left in my bottle. Cheers for that one Liquor King, I'll be needing another soon though. Kahlua is the alround kickarse drink I've decided.

Now I was a bit sceptical about the next game, the chocolate game, but man was it fun. This is where you roll a dice and if you get a six then you have to don a pair of ski gloves, a hat and a scarf then proceed to cut a square off a block of chocolate with a knife and fork and stuff your face with it, repeating the process until another rolls a six. This is hard out craziness and you learn how much people really want the chocolate!

Lesson here: Never scoff at kids games for it is kids who truely have all the fun.

We were pretty excited after all that, coke and adreneline is an interesting mix, I have yet to submit a patent for a drink containing this. After this we sat round and talked for a while. Everyone started to drift off till it was just me, Gerry and Fi.

So we talked for ages and made some home videos on my camera. They were cool! We have ones of us running backwards to make it look like the video is in reverse. One of me jumping up and down with my head hitting pillows on the roof. One of me jumping so hard I knocked myself out on the roof and fell to the floor (set up of course!). It was cool. I'll see about posting them up here although they may be a little large to download.

So anyway I'm off to see Tomb Raider with Martin this morning. Should be good. Gotta go prepare so catch you guys later
