Slackin' With Cate

[catelin]

I am actually supposed to be working on a brief (why the fuck they call them briefs is beyond me--they are anything but) today at home, but a girl's gotta take time out for coffee and procrastination at some point. If anyone asks, it's Danny's fault. ; )

Fave Board Game:
Careers (I haven't seen it in ages. My grandparents had this game and we'd play it in the summers. I always got to be a miner and discover uranium.)
Fave Magazine:
Interview before it turned to crap, and Sunset
Fave Comic:
I have a collection of scary comics from when I was a kid...any of those I loved.
Now I am obsessed with Red Meat

Anything spicy or laden with garlic and cheese
Fave Ice Cream:
Mint chocolate chip

Hmmmmm...it's been so long, I don't remember.

The way my grandmother smelled--a combination of Wrigley's spearmint, Max Factor, tobacco, and love to last me 'til I see her again.
What's the first thing you thought of when you got up this morning?:
I've got to get that damn brief done TODAY.

~*~*The Future Side*~*~
Where do I see myself in ten years?:
I never think about that...I always end up right where I'm supposed to be.
What is your dream car?:
One that comes with a chauffeur

I remember playing that game Careers when I was young. I wonder if they still make it. If not, I may have to do a search on eBay. Thanks for the memory, Cate.

Yay!!!

Do you know you're the only person I've ever met outside my family that knows that game? Cool beans!! I think it had to have been from the 50s or 60s, because it was an old game when we played it. It was really fun, though. Let me know if you turn up anything else!

Go to eBay and search on "careers board game." There were about eleven there of varying eras. Looks like the board game went back to, at least, the fifties. The edition I remember playing had have been from the early seventies based on the pictures.
