Just to arrest my development even further...

I decided to see if any sillies had reviewed baby books. Without further ado... ( The sillies! )

There's less to mock in this section, which is probably a good thing. But I did get some nostalgia going!

Edit: Am I the only one who caught my dreadful earlier typo "further adieu"?

This is sick...

The US was the lone vote against allowing greater access to cheaper, generic drugs against AIDS

Of course, UN resolutions don't generally mean anything, do they? All the same, though, it's still sick. The pharmeceutical companies should not have their profits protected over the health of the very ill and/or poor.

Hm... So, I actually *like* board games...

I know some people don't, but I do. I like playing games with my family, board games, card games, I have to clear the table now...

Anyway. Moving on. While on somebody's livejournal, I saw an entry about this game which, though insanely complicated, looks mildly interesting. That started me thinking. What can I get my mom for christmas which would encourage gameplaying? I like clue (though we don't often play it, not enough people) and museaum clue (though we lost that years ago, I want it back!) and parcheesi (though I'm too competitive... really... and ask Jenn about proper parcheesi piece placement) and mancala (hm. lost that too, and mommy's no good at it). My mom likes boggle, scrabble, upwords (we need another board), word yahtzee, regular yahtzee (ick).... We also have monopoly, chinese checkers, risk, and pick up sticks lying around the house. I hate checkers and chess, so don't suggest those.

Now, I have a dual question. 1. If I go randomly picking interesting looking games, would you tell me if they're good? and 2. what games do you reccommend?
