Anyone who really knows me knows that I love to play games. This one, what are the odds, is one of my go-to’s, especially when you’re in a space where there are alot of strangers and no one’s really doing anything except drink expensive martinis or cheap dive bar beer. We usually play with odds from 1-10, higher risk to dare your friends to do something out of the ordinary. To play, one person presents the ‘dare’ for example, ‘What are the odds you go up to that guy in the fedora and ask if you can try his hat on?’ Then, on the count of 3, both parties say a number between 1 and 10. If they say the same number, then the dare must be done. The game proceeds and the fun keeps your night exciting til you can’t do it anymore, you usually walk away with some new friends or at least some good stories.

me and my friends play “what’s in my bag?” at restaurants as a silly way to pass time. must have bag, preferably with multiple compartments
We also play a game where we all try to rapid fire say the same word. So we all stand around in a circle, someone counts down, and then everyone says a word and then you look hard into each others’ eyes and say things like “I think we’re all on the same page” and “we’ve got it this time“ and then keep saying words until you all say the same one word. Sounds incredibly stupid but is amazingly fun. I recommend doing this outdoors with 3+ people. does this make sense??

It probably has a better name but this is what everyone I know has called it. It’s a classic with simple rules that everyone can follow. You put a famous or well known persons name on the head of the person next to you and you go round asking 1 yes or no question at a time until someone guessed their person, then theyve won. You can then continue until everyone has guessed theirs correctly. This is a great one when people are feeling less creative/energised so don’t want to do anything like charades. a good end of the night game when wine or time have slowed you all down.

Sue me, I love David Lynch. He loves dreams. He said, “The nervous system functions in a fourth, unique way, as different as dreaming is from sleeping as sleeping is from waking. When you transcend, it's the only experience that lights the full brain on an EEG machine. It's the only experience that utilizes the full brain.” Anytime I have a dream that stays with me when I wake up, I grab my phone and write it down in my notes. Here’s a snippet from a recent one, “I had to put on a gown in the tiniest bathroom. A famous actress grabs my hand and we run to a huge empty room with carpet everywhere. Rolling around on the floor laughing and then she’s crying to me telling me really sad things that are going on in her life. I really wanted to take a picture of the tears on her face but felt like i couldn’t.

I used to only know their demo of the song Good Morning, Captain. A boy from highschool put it on a mix CD he made me, along with some Portishead, Sonic Youth, Eve 6, and Brand New; I would listen to it in my car on the way to volleyball practice. But recently I took a deep dive into everything they did and this album is really something else. If you want the perfect work from home soundtrack for your cold little emo heart, try it out. It’s slow, hard, sad, frantic, and terrifying – everything. Sometimes I really enjoy nauseatingly depressing music even when I’m in a fantastic mood, I don’t know if that’s something I should discuss in therapy; in the meantime, I’ll keep blasting it in my headphones while I’m taking my morning walk to get a coffee.

There’s so many bubble tea spots in Chinatown but this one is by far, the best. Get the passion fruit tea iced, with mango bubbles, twenty percent sugar. Bring cash.
