Blogging Party
Every so often, Kevin Drumm has a post about how he went to some way-cool party with all the bloggers in town. He doesn't tend to go into much detail, but I assume there are a lot of people bringing up newspaper articles and editorials they read, quoting a pertinent chunk, then telling what they think. Once they're done with that exercise, they allow other people to comment on it and occasionally even interject. I'm sure they eat as well, just to remind themselves that they're in the "physical world" as opposed to cyberspace.
Due to my righteous Christmas victory yesterday, however, my upcoming blogging party will be much better than those stupid ones out in California. The victory in question is this: I received the game "Simpsons Monopoly." I still have it in the shrink-wrap, but I think the basic premise is that you play Monopoly, but you get to talk about The Simpsons. Instead of Boardwalk, you have "Burns' Mansion," for example. I played a lot of "Simpsons Clue" with my sister and two cousins (scroll down for their story) yesterday, and it was the same basic thing. I was never a fan of "Clue," but when you get to be Krusty and walk around Springfield accusing Smithers of doing it with the slingshot at The Android's Dungeon, it becomes rivetting rather quickly.
