1 sheep, 2 sheeps, 3 sheeps....

First, I'd like to apologize for starting this blog and then abruptly disappearing. In all fairness, I was blogging about my detox diet and by Day 2 I was fatigued and had to stop in order to reserve my energy resources for other things like blinking and swallowing. Just as a brief follow up: I did successfully finish the detox. I lost 5 lbs (plus another 3-4 when I got my colonic but I'll talk about that some other time as I'm in the middle of eating my lunch) but gained it all back plus some in less than a month. Final thoughts on detox? Not worth paying someone to starve myself. If I weren't so lazy I should be able to do that on my own for free. The irony.

Now. The reason why I'm jump starting my blog again is because today is the start of a new era in my life. Actually it officially started last night. The SETTLERS OF CATAN LEAGUE:

For those not familiar, this is a board game. You build settlements and cities and trade resources like sheep, ore, wheat, wood, etc with other players. No, really. It's REALLY fun. I'm actually quite addicted. I dream of making really lucrative trades like 1 sheep for 2 brick. (Actually, this would probably not really happen in an actual game).

Also, to make things nerdier, a friend of mine set up a google doc to keep a tally of wins/losses. This is an official tourney! Here are the rules for those who haven't exited out of this blog yet:

• you can play as many times as you like but each player must be a part of the league. if you play with members outside the league you cannot count it on the spreadsheet
• each league member must play a minimum of 10 games.
• games must have 3+ players.
• season ends 2/28/10
• winner will be the player with the highest AVERAGE. (there's more on scoring but I can't figure out cut and paste on html writing so pls contact me if you're interested in that)

Let the game's BEGIN!
