Illuminati is fantastic, and a classic of the American gaming catalogue. It's also beloved of AcidGrampa and GarageDelFuego should you be on the west coast and looking for opponents.

Fluxx, unlike Flux was never to my tastes. The effect of the individual cards played is excessively abstracted and random, IMHO.

How many players would you typically get together with? That's a key question, as many of the best games are for 3-5 players. If you get outside that range, the recommendations change. Genre tastes and preferences for complexity in your playgroup would also influence the recommendation.
baudot:
Apples to Apples is pretty unique.

Agricola, Le Havre, and Space Alert all go from solitaire up to 5 players, and are popular, award winning games.

Just watched Synecdoche, New York.

Fuck, this movie is devastating.

Like a modern day version of Last Year at Marienbad. Except sadder.

Quite. It's currently ranked #3 overall at BoardGameGeek.com, which is a fairly accurate indicator.

Just got back from Yellow Mountain. Bright Summit Peak is over 1800 metres high. That's a lot of stone steps. (My legs hurt) Many kilometres of walking up / down mountain steps.

Pictures to come.

pretty much. Don't listen to what i say. You dont want to stay in Prague forever so for you there is no point to worry abou these things. I'm sure that if you come here you will enjoy it and meet a lot of fun people.

Last night I was propositioned to either a) join two guys to have sex with prostitutes or b) have sex with two male prostitutes. Due to a language barrier I can't be sure. This happened while I was in my apartment. (I know) We're next door to a spa/bathhouse kind of place and for the first time one of the windows was open as high...

Your neighbors have a nice set up there.

Aspirations? I've been wanting to go to med school for more years than I care to recall. I want to get involved in world-recognized medical research. I want to make a real, lasting impression on the world. Is that too much to expect of oneself?
kaffeine:
Seriously. It was pretty humbling, too. Makes me want to go out and be a Good Samaritan.

Waking up early from night terrors. (my girlfriend's abandoned me in a bizarre tiny NYC hotel room, I have someone else's face, my lips are bleeding, skin peeling like a sunburn, and I don't know what's going on)

Make some black coffee.

Write some stories.

It truly is. I'm thinking of making it into a sorbet.

It's adorable. It's new, and different from other games in design and play, therefore it has some issues; but it tries to do something charming and original, and in this it succeeds.

Plus, it's always a bonus when my husband gives me that look from across the room when I yell, "No, George Washington, don't attack ME with the harpoon gun! Fine, I'll ride the goat! See how you like that!"

While Lynch does seem to love to gelling up his hair, I'd say more Jack Nance-ian than Lynchian.

We just found out that we have 4 days off in a row together on Chinese national day.

Looks like we're going to try to spend 3-4 days at Yellow Mountain, it's supposed to be amazingly beautiful.
overmeyers:
Well if the photos are accurate, it looks like it will be fantastic! (Fantastic should be intoned in the same way that Chris Eccleston would playing Doctor Who. To be clear.)
baudot:
I think next year will be my first off since going these last many. I will stop in on one of the many other fine events (PAX, DragonCon) of Slave Girl Leia weekend.

Pop Quiz.

You get fired from your job, but get a severance package of $50,000 cold, hard cash.

What do you do?
