What else are you doing with  yourself at 10pm on Sunday?

Anyway, the other day,  Kevin sent me this link to Med Men Yourself and I just found it really amusing and spent far too much time messing around with it (at 5:30 AM when I was supposed to be getting ready for work nonetheless), so I felt the need to share it with all of you.  Oh and when you’re making your little 1960′s you, I say definitely go for the martini or even a cigarette… at work… because it’s like 1962 and you just don’t know any better.  And because you can, damnit (I know I could have used a drink or two at the office the last few weeks)!

Enjoy!

I just found it to be really fun and a great waste of time and I had to share, because I loved it so much. The goal is to launch the hedgehog into space in as few days as possible, by collecting money by hitting targets in the sky and then purchasing yourself upgrades. Eh, I’m probably not explaining it well. Check it out for yourself :)

Launch a hedgehog into space!

You have just 5 minutes to kill yourself while you are stuck at a family reunion. While the first Five Minutes to Kill Yourself is really great for any time, this one is especially appropriate this time of year. Who’s calendar isn’t quickly filling up with family picnics right now? This is sure to serve as a great tool to gear up for you Summer.

It was very exciting… Tom and Heather came over around 9:30 with a very large assortment of games and some microwave popcorn – an absolute must for any game night. I had already started drinking as I am not typically a board game person and needed to be slightly inebriated for the event.

After some deliberation, we decided to play a game of Balderdash – a fun game in which players create definitions for words and they then have to guess which is the correct definition. I must say, I don’t know if it was all the wine that was imbibed before and during the game, but I really enjoyed myself.

Other events of the evening include an argument between Tom and myself, in which I had to defend the city of Philadelphia – because PHILADELPHIA IS JUST AS GREAT A CITY – if not A GREATER CITY than BOSTON. And I soberly stand by my argument. However, I’m told that in my drunken state I was particularly amusing. I’m glad I could entertain everyone – that’s what I’m here for.

Here is a picture taken by Heather with her new Blackberry from last night of me enjoying our game night with already wine-stained teeth – and the evening had only just begun!
