My So Called Life

disbelief11Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to go see Tom Arnold at his Chicago book signing the other day. Especially to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pun, who wrote the funniest ad for "The Nerodi" - order now and get "Mr. Nerodi" at half-price!
But, um...I didn't go. I decided that I would be more regretful if I didn't do the dumb things I had to do that day than I would if I didn't go see Tom. Maybe I can catch him some other time. Plus, I was afraid that I would get there and spend the whole time talking about the 'Baum...and reduce myself to a babbling & drooling idiot.
So my life has been boring: just packing boxes, hauling them to the storage space, watching tv, and playing that Bookworm game that I found through a link on Omar's Terribly Happy Journal. It's an addictive game for me - like a cross between Boggle and Tetris, both games I really like - so I'm having to stay away from the computer in order to avoid playing when I should be doing something else. However, I will lay out a challenge to anyone else who plays: my top score so far has been 209,320 and I made it to Level 10 that time. Who's the first who'll beat me? (Heh, at the game, silly, not just a general purpose beating.)
I'm leaving with a quote fromslodwick: Brownies are a gateway drug.
(Damn if I didn't wish I had saved that AIM chat -scrunchy, slodwick, and tresca are all hee-larry-us!)

Date: 2002-11-13 11:28 am (UTC)Well, I take comfort in knowing that I'll be joining Omar there. After I nearly drove myself blind (my eyes hurt and when I'd close them, there were exploding after-images of the letter tiles dancing in the blackness) I wrote an email to Omar cursing him for the link and telling him of my blindness.
In fact, there may be a whole ring of hell for people who spread addictive internet games.
