I went to dinner with my friend Christina last night and she innocently* suggested we play a game afterwards since her roommate was going to be home and all. It's a game she had mentioned before but we never got around to playing. The game is called "You evil whore! How could you block my road?!" No, no, I kid. It's called Settlers of Catan. Now, it's been around forever, so I'm sure all of you are going, "oh yeah, that" with a bored eye roll. I, however, had never heard of this game before Christina mentioned it in passing a few times, and certainly never knew or imagined how much fun it could be.

If you've never played, it's just the best game ever. It's kind of a cross between Risk, Monopoly, and Go Fish. You have to build houses, roads, and settlements and collect resources, which you can trade with other players. I annoyed the bejesus out of Christina and Becky by asking for bricks in the voice of Kaitlin from SNL. "Does anyone have any BRICK! BRICK! BRICK!" And broke into giggles every time someone said something like, "I need wood" or "No one is getting any wood this round." Yes, I'm 12.
Guess what? It's available online and as a phone app. I may never be productive again.
*She wasn't innocent. She knew exactly what she was doing.
