mishalakI arrived early at Timmy & Kaia's New Years Game Party. I was all excited by the idea of playing games with neat people and the fact that I would actually be able stay up until midnight because I didn't have to be in to work until noon today. As my contribution to the piles of food and drink I brought a bottle of mead, a bottle of champagne like stuff, and a bottle of port.
At first things were quiet with just me, Robin, Timmy, Kaia around. Robin had Timmy hooked up to a biofeedback game she brought along. Timmy was cheating, of course, getting his heart rate up by running in place. After a bit Shawn showed up with his PS2, that was a big hit for the evening. There were long stretches of people playing Gandalf and Aragorn on it. Kaia and I opened a bottle of wine, not bad, wish I could remember the label. Just like I wish I could remember her livejournal username. She told me, but the knowledge has fled from my brain that should have been installed under a mop of blond hair.
After the wine was finished I opened my mead and explained far too much about wine making. Next time I'll get into the more useful knowledge of what makes different wines taste different ways, but had to lay the groundwork and everything. Trying to turn all my friends into wine snobs or something. Kaia explained the masses of food saying that it is a North Dakota thing where she panics that she won't have enough and so buys lots more.

jcfiala showed up without Tammy because she had to work until 11:30. He brought some great games that I would have loved to play, but it was not to be since though I kept on trying to get together a game no one really wanted to do anything but play with the playstation.
One of Timmy & Kaia's friends (Tom, I've met him a few times) brought by a tape of his being on a game show for us to watch. Laura had lots of snarky things to say about their lighting and set design, but hey he did get a trip to Hawaii and a $750 gift certificate.
After that I started fading fast and things got fuzzy. Eventually I had some coffee like stuff to wake up enough for midnight and the drive home. Maya was still going strong, of course. I think she's going to be a fan since she's a night owl person. Or maybe she'll be a goth.
So that's my none too coherent New Years report. Oh and my Champaign didn't get opened, but I left it in case someone might want it and I rescued my port. Shame more of the mead didn't get drunk, but I thought it would be rude for me to retrieve that as well and plus it was open so I didn't want to get stopped with it should there be a checkpoint on the way home.
