Chore Wars!

So about a month ago, I finally moved into the new place. The unpacking has been slow, for many reasons. Turns out, I have a lot of stuff and not a lot of motivation. Which is why Dr. Funk brought up the delightful website/game of Chore Wars. The premise of the game is Dungeons and Dragons for your chores. Dr. Funk and I are in a party together; I'm a cleric, he's a barbarian. Our household chores are tasks and quests within the game, and they have a set experience point value and in-game currency value. And thus, Dr. Funk and I are now in direct competition with each other to get the most points and money. The side effect is that our house gets clean. It's been awesome!
