So I've been purposefully remiss in sharing my latest form of distraction even though I've declared this blog a 'no judgment' zone. Sure I'm swamped at work and the wedding to-do list won't get itself done, but amidst the growing number of stuff to accomplish over the next few weeks, I've managed to find one more thing to occupy my time: Mafia Wars on Facebook. I don't consider myself an invested participant since I'm not willing to "friend" complete strangers to grow my Mafia, unlike a certain fiance who got me hooked on this game. I don't "fight" people because I usually lose and have no defenses. I basically do jobs and earn millions of mafia dollars by owning property - I wish it was that easy. When you master jobs you go up a level, which is supposed to be gratifying, and I have to admit, it is kinda. And it's a new activity that Hal and I can bond over.
When I first started, Hal walked me through the lay of the land. He showed me where I can go to buy property, do jobs and where to find my inventory of stuff. You know, the must-haves of the mafia: crowbars, various pistols, a hacksaw. Nothing was especially challenging about any of it, but it was all very new to me having never played anything like this, until I went to the inventory page.
Hal: This is where you can see all the weapons you own and how many you have. It's all listed on the side.
This looks familiar!Jenn: Ooo, it's like a wedding registry!!
Hal: (rolling his eyes) Yes, yes it's exactly like that.
Jenn: This is gonna be fun.
Hal: Oh brother...
My inventory
You just can't register for a good crowbar at Crate and Barrel. Add a couple of place settings and a pizza stone, and we are set!
