Day 130: Dry Bones

I'm not a video game person... but Mario Party is just way too much fun. It's like playing a board game and a video game at the same time. Yeah that's basically what it is. And you get to be Mario characters and listen to them make weird noises as they jump around the board and get hit by darts and eat candy and... how is this not a more popular social event??? You can't play this game and not have fun. Although some of the mini-games are stupid. Rowing a two-man canoe? Washing a car? These are not fun things. Doing them in a video game doesn't make them any more fun. Those are rare occurrences though. Usually you're flying planes with balloon engines or trying to kill people with a jumprope.

I was in first place, but then in the last round someone bought all my hotels and stole all my stars, and not even my vampire candy could save me.

Look at that last sentence and tell me you don't want to play this game.

Um yeah other than that I didn't do much today.

As the world falls
down
into chaos and despair
We will still be reaping all
the seeds we've sewn together

Song: "Brick by Boring Brick" by Paramore off of brand new eyes. I'll be honest, I don't find Paramore's newest album nearly as refreshing and exciting as most people seem to. The catchy hooks aren't there, the really heartfelt lyrics are missing... it's just not as cohesive and inspired as their other work. Riot! was at least a consistent release, with lots of good songs and a variety of sounds. All We Know is Falling wasn't nearly as consistent or daring (it was their first album after all), but the songs that were good on there were REALLY good, some of the best that the band has ever put out. brand new eyes cannot boast either of these things. This song, however, is a pretty solid track, with some clever lyrics, energetic vocals, and a pretty good chorus.
