hearts

so after that post, i figured i should give the game a chance.

i don't think i have much chance at games that involve paying attention to what other people are playing and what cards are already out there and what might still come out to bite you in the ass.

but i was doing pretty well. mostly b/c of a...is it called shooting the moon?...that i hadn't intended at all. i didn't even realize it til the end. which should show you why i'm generally bad at these sorts of games. then i just realized i was sucking about halfway thru a game and hoped no one else had picked up any tricks, and went for the rest of the points. it worked. so now i'm kicking pauline, michelle and ben's asses. well, not ben. ben is quite the hearty competitor.

anyways, none of this answers if i like this game or not. i'm not sure. but it's just as effective a time-wasting technique as any of the others. trouble, they call that.
