I would just like to announce that


I won a game of Puerto Rico last night!


Not that any strategy ever used in the game will ever work again, but I managed to pull out a win over Jerry (and jet_li_wannabe and Thomas), in spite of his having two of the five big buildings. I pulled it off because I got the storagehouse bonus building, and spent my final build phases getting a couple of extras storehouses. As always, for a game with minimal random factors, I'm amazed at how unpredictable it is.

Haven't been online much, as we've been entertaining our wonderful houseguest, wispfox. We've introduced her to Monster House (Mad Scientist House! Complete with Electric Chair!), Harvey Birdman, and other fun stuff. We also dragged her to Javamonkey yesterday, because everyone needs to go there (mmmm, baked brie plate). Tonight, she gets to see Boondock Saints.

Last night's Simpsons? Eh. But the opening two minutes? Priceless.

Holy Bats! What a coincidence!

I too, won my first game of Puerto Rico, this weekend. I have never won before because dammit, other people's choices affect you too much.

Yeah, but the problem is, trying to figure out which of the choices will have an effect. It's amazingly random for such an orderly game. :-)
