Lucky

So, I have been on a bit of a lucky streak in terms of winning things this weekend.

It started with a videogame called Gears of War 2. My brother and I (well, my youngest brother) have only seen each other 3 or so times since the school semester started, so we needed some bonding time and the game proved to be the perfect remedy for our troubles. To try and summarize it without spoiling it, as we beat it in less than a day haha, the human race has been beaten down to the point of extinction by an alien race called the Locusts. The humans are now down to their last city, which is also their stronghold, and well... I will stop there. Oh, and another thing I should add is that the Locusts move and live underground... and most of them are humanoids... sorry, this probably sounds confusing, oi.

Anyhow, after that, we played a game called Sequence, which involved two decks of cards and a board that has the pictures of the cards, and it is your goal to try and get a sequence of 5 numbers in a row, thus the title, sequence :). Meanwhile, your opponents try to block you off, so it is a lot harder than it sounds. It requires some strategy, but also a fair amount of luck... it is like, a more advanced version of Bingo.

Then, just now, I played a game of Texas Hold'em, which is a kind of poker for any of you who are unfamiliar with it. There were 8 of us playing and I made it all the way down to the final 2. Coincidentally, my last opponent was the same brother I just beat Gears of War 2 with. We just decided to call it a tie and split the cash (we both got 7 bucks, wasn't much, but any amount of cash helps hehe).

I'm a bit worried that I used up all of my luck because I have a test in Japanese on Monday and I could use all the help I can get, but, it has been a good weekend so I cannot complain. My cousins did end up coming over after all and we had a thanksgiving feast; corn, turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and all. Hopefully all of you are having as lucky, or at least as fantasic of weekends as I am and, from the looks of these other posts, I think it is safe to say that you are :). Take care!
