I have regular meals with my family each week, during which they usually try to convince me to play a bored board game, and although I usually decline, I do enjoy the occassional game...as long as it's not Risk. And recently, I've been thinking that Scrabble is pretty awesome, so when it was suggested we play, I said yes.
Although I didn't win (due to an Incident involving Dad, seven letters, and being out of tiles!), I played the absolutely most awesome game for me ever! I got...171 points! I used the 'q' on a triple word score! I had ALL FOUR 's's. I completely rocked the game.
I have never even been CLOSE to winning against my dad before. He is generally awesome, and my mom isn't half bad, either.
Also, I just watched the last four episodes of Bones. When did this show become completely awesome? I stopped watching in the first season because I felt the writing was uneven, and I'd *just* come back to sanity afterbeating my head in with a rock watching Crossing Jordan two too many seasons. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with more uneven writing. But...well, the end, I'm not completely sure about. And very sad about. Zach always seemed to me like such a wonderful character, although I think that he honestly makes sense to go off the deep end a little. This character analysis based on six episodes and change.
And another favorite of mine is So You Think You Can Dance. I think I've fallen for this show hard, and it's totally KR's fault.
Okay. I know very little about proper dancing. I tend to soak in KR's opinions on the performances and say "Oooooh! That was really nifty!" a lot. I know stupendous stuff, and I know crappy stuff, but ranking the middle stuff is beyond me. However! I really, really enjoy the dancing, and the drama, and I'm thinking that shipping isn't beyond me, oddly enough. *edges away from SYTYCD RPF*
I LOVED some of the performances last night. The sexy Italian dude was hot, Italian, arrogant as hell, and hilarious to watch. He was also not that good. I was entertained, but I wouldn't have been if he'd made it. Kherington Payne, a blond soccer player, was so enthusiastic that I honestly didn't care whether she's merely good or great. I want to watch her more. Laura Garcia (I'm looking these names up online, don't worry about me too much), auditions--she's visually impaired, and the judges' reactions just broke. my. heart. She has a lot of guts, and I hope she does GREAT in whatever she decides to do. And then, of course, there was Robert Muraine, a "popper and street performer" who just...ack! He's a PERFORMER. Can't stop watching him--I was laughing and cheering his entire audition. Even if he bombs the Vegas part, I feel like this was one performance that I was lucky to see.
Er...I'll let you all get back to your regularly scheduled fandoms now.

That's what they teach us in 15+ years of training, after all. :)

I share your sadness about Zack - a bit out of nowhere *and* doesn't exactly fit the prior nature of the show for me. Gutsy, but still kind of ... huh?
