Day 25 - Go Mental: Play Board Games!
It's not every day you get to play Apple to Apples with two German students, an exercise guru, and a 29-year-old Zen priest, but that's pretty much what I did last night, in what turned out to be a very interesting, book-free method of practicing the Mind Module (along with various relational/somatic capacities).
The award-deserving party game is a litmus test for determing where one's level of irony, comfort, humor, socialization, and wit lies, and tests one's ability to take perspectives (as it helps to know where the judge of the current round is coming from, i.e. if he's a German, keep your Americana non-obscure, or if he's a Zen priest, be sure to play -- literally -- the "Zen" card).
Follow that up with some Taboo and Scattergories, and you'll never need to read this dude again.

can i play, too? ;) i'm coming to boulder for a visit in march. they don't have fun games like this in the south.
how very observant of you. my home town, cincinnati, is in the north.. but i am in my last semester at school near atlanta. perhaps you also remember that i was living in beijing last year..? i will be in boulder from march 14-21. so that i don't keep adding comments to your blog, i'll email you from threevisions@gmail.com.
i am really glad that you're writing so much about your ilp, it is quite motivating. i tend to slack off on things like that after a week or so. thank god that board games fall under the ilp umbrella. ;)

ah, good times. the enjoyment level of any game night triples when you've got paul's lightning wit present.
although i'm still creeped out that deva was not only able to determine which card i would pick, but which card i threw down out of the eleven he was choosing from. either i'm transparent, or he's found a way to jump from one mind to another. neither would surprise me.

Hey man,I thought playing American boardgames would be even more boring than playing them in German language. But it was a lot of fun- especially to find an American judge to agree that 'Americans' are rather 'awkward'. But you're right: it twisted my ability to take perspectives considerably to win in this game. By the way: what are "Roman Numericals"?
