My best friend Tyler came over today (he left before this picture was taken) and played a game of Monopoly with me and my parents. Apparently, Monopoly is my game of choice and I won the game again, causing everyone else to go into complete bankruptcy. All of the hotels (called mansions in the Family Guy version) and houses on the board in this picture are all mine. I finished the game with $2,456.

I had my first doubles match of the spring season today. Abby and I have played Hudson in the past and have always lost because they're always our first opponent coming out from off-season, so our tennis skills aren't up to par. We were on our game today, though.

It started off with us being down a point. We just kept making little mistakes that lost us precious points. We finally broke serve and brought the score to 3-2 and from there, we powered through the rest of the match, winning it altogether 8-2.

I played a good old fashioned game of Monopoly (Family Guy edition) today with my dad. I hadn't played since my elementary school days and I've only won a game, at the most, twice, in my entire life. Surprisingly, I took my dad to the cleaners and won the game in about 4 hours, which also happened to be one of the shortest games I've ever played. I had almost $2,000 in my hand when this picture was taken. I ended the game with a little less than $3,000. Needless to say, my property trading skills have greatly improved since 4th grade.

Do your best to ignore how incredibly messy the floor is.

My new backpack finally came in the mail today. Sadly, my Quiksilver canvas backpack that I loved so dearly tore all the way across the bottom. This backpack is quite lovely, though, so I will proudly wear it on my back.

I finally beat L.A. Noire today and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with how they ended it. In my opinion, there were many loose ends and questions that were never answered, but despite that, I loved the game. The graphics were just mind blowing, especially the faces, and I loved that the game played out like a movie. It's refreshing to play a game that's not a third person shooter (which I love those, don't get me wrong).

I realize this description has nothing to do with Nutella, but I didn't do really anything today and I did eat Nutella on crackers, so hopefully it suffices as today's photo.
