Slightly Unstable

I have always been a huge Aquarius fan so when I heard that Looney Labs was coming out with an updated version I was giddy with happiness. Looney Labs sent me a review copy of Aquarius but it got lost in the mail so they sent me another one. Luckily this time I received it.

For those who don't know Aquarius is a neat game that's sort like a hippie version of dominoes. Basically you have a secret goal that you try to keep people from knowing. This goal is one of five elements. Then you use the element cards that connect in various ways like dominoes to connect seven element cards together. The first person to get seven panels connected via their element wins. Some nice added fun and complexity is the action cards mixed in like "Zap a Card" that allows you to pick any element card off the table and put it into your hand. Or cards like shuffle goals that allow you to change someones goal. Let me tell you it really stinks when you get one turn away from making your seventh connection and someone plays "Trade Goals" on you.

Moving on to what makes this version better then the original version. The game is still pretty much the same basic premise, that have just added a couple of things that make it interesting. One great addition to the game is diagonal cards. In these cards the elements are split on the card in triangles instead of in squares. This adds new way to grow your connections.

I have added Identi.ca and Twitter accounts that people can follow. All blog entries will be posted to these accounts. The system updates the accounts every 30 minutes so it isn't instantaneous but within a half hour of your post being published it should be in the accounts.

So yeah I decided to try out a new theme. I think this theme looks a bit cleaner and easier on the eyes. I have also removed the blogs list block for now. I may bring it back I'm just seeing how I like just having the tag cloud on the left.

alex bought me this dress for my last birthday. it's beautiful, (it looks a little less awesome in this picture but irl it looks similar to the baby jsk it's a replica of, and has shirring and some of those cross strap neck tie things lolita dresses sometimes have.) but it was kinda pricey so i'm trying to think of other ways i can wear it. already worn it with a white blouse, white tights, and black shoes, and with a black cardigan, and the bitching cameo my friend made me for christmas... (a black cameo on a white ribbon.)

posting this on polyvore, hoping to find some ideas.
