New Years Eve (Really, Really Late)

I should probably note the goings on of New Years Eve since it was an out of the ordinary event. I guess the summary post yesterday took a lot out of me.

I got out of work early and headed home to play a little Xenogears before the festivities started. Every year my parents have always had a little new years eve gathering at their house for dinner and then some games after. This year I got there around 3 and we played some Mario Party on the Wii. After dinner my dad and I played some NBA Live 08 on the Wii as well. We're still trying to figure out how to play defense.

After that, we did the traditional game of Pokeno (for pennies) and then we switched over to a really cool game my sister got called Apples to Apples. It's extremely fun. One player is the judge, flips over a card with a word on it. Other players play one of their cards that have various words, people or things on them and the point is to play a card that's related to the word flipped over. The judge decides which word wins and the person who played it gets the green card. It's much more fun if you've got a bunch of people who have a strange sense of humor.

After that my sister had to take off to another party, so we watched a movie on the discovery channel HD about a super volcano in yellowstone which was interesting in a strange morbid sort of way. After my mom went to bed, my dad and I played some more NBA Live and finally sorta figured out how to play defense. At least…people were stealing the ball this time around. We rang in the new year playing that, and then I went home, excited to get to be able to do the first fold in my Origami page-a-day calendar.
