Accomplished today:

Bought a copy of Carcassonne so I can stop bugging Hugh for his.
Installed a new quiet power supply in Ed's computer (that mostly just makes it obvious that his CPU fan is a tad noisy).
Connected the Tivo back up to the internet (it's now spent 30 minutes downloading programme guide information).
Ordered MediaMVP (and looked into addons to make it even cooler)

Re: Carcassonne

What about the expansions? I've found that both 'Inns and Cathedrals' and 'Traders and Builders' really enhance the game. 'King and Scout' is amusing but some of the pieces have play-balance problems. I've not tried any of the others.

Carcassonne is probably the most popular longer game at our games night.

I've played the Hunters/Gatherers variant, but not any of the expansions (except The River, which comes with it).

I'll agree with WolfieBoy that I+C and T+B are good supplements to get for the game, though they do add to the playing time because they add to the tile count by about 50.
