Relaxing and Monopoly
01/06/2008 08:27 p.m. | metoday
What a nice day. It as beautiful outside, and I got to just lay around and watch a foreign film and such. Then this evening, it was some Rock Banding (I am not so good at the singing or drums) and then an intense game of Monopoly.
There were 6 to start, only one monopoly that was genuinely purchased, but through my trading magic I turned a light blue and a magenta into a money-making, house-hoarding, fantastic trade that put me into somewhat of a drivers street until tragedy struck. But then, I was able to make it more interesting, and walk away happy.
In the end, you have to spin trades so the other person is more distracted with what they get (or could get) than what else is happening. Focus is a horrible thing in monopoly. You can't ever want or need. You have to be extremely flexible and weigh all the options. The secret is, if you are driving, then you better know where you are going.
Sterin owes me.
