movie & game night
Apr. 24th, 2009 11:43 pmSo Mom and I hosted dinner & a movie again. We try to do it once a month--we're hitting more like every 2-3, but that's ok.
So it was Mom, her boyfriend Kim, their friend from work James (who is my age) and I. We were going to watch Night of the Comet (spoofy sci-fi from the 80's, classic!) but my DVD player is apparently dying. Considering I bought it for maybe $150 9 years ago, I can't complain. We've had it set up as the main DVD player in the living room for like 5 years now.
Instead we watched Peggy Sue Got Married and ate Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza from Godfather's Pizza. (Yum.)
After the movie, we played Monopoly. None of us had played for more than a decade. It was so fun. At first, I thought I'd lose, because everyone was snapping up property, and I just had the 1 Rail Road. But suddenly I had 2 and then all 4, and eventually collected more...and after an hour or two, I'd won! I had nearly $10,000 in cash & 1/2 of the properties with a bunch of houses. Kim was the other person who still had money & property, and he had like $2,000. It was a very woah! moment when we realized how much I'd won by. Now if only I had that kind of money in real life.
The best parts of the game were when we kept landing in jail--Kim & I went there the most. There were jokes about Big Bertha and Billy Bob, and painting murals on the jail walls. Someone accused me of prostitution, and then since I had all 4 rail roads, someone complained about paying $200 so often, and since the guys kept landing the most, Mom said that the train must be offering special services. So I'm Madam Vicki. :-)
All in all, a good night. Soon we'll be seeing Jeff Dunham, which will be cool. He's a pretty good comedian.
And next dinner & a movie we also plan to play Clue (I've got the Simpson's Edition), so maybe we'll watch Clue too.
