I'm not good at Scrabble, but I'm getting better at the cursed internet Boggle. I still, as with Scrabble, spend too much looking for stuff that isn't there.

I fear I'll be pretty bad at Scrabble for a while. My vocab is still fucked up.

I don't think I've played it since ...well, a long time. High school, maaaaybe.

Both Polgara and ita are scary competitive.

I, too, find loopholes in board game rules, and I always find that fun, but Polgara is all, "That's cheating!" And I'm all, "it's a board game."

And then it just goes downhill from there.

I just spent 10 minutes at the Burke-Williams site window shopping. If there are any weird wealthy benefactors lurking, I would like a spa facial, pedicure, manicure, and perhaps a massage, and an eyebrow wax. This will cost about $300.00.

Think of it as a contribution to PBS. I'll keep on being a clownish misanthrope for your entertainment, and in exchange, you restore some of my sanity so I won't be locked away in a funny farm.

So, Mr. or Mrs. weird lurker with too much money and an obsessive fondness for me, just send along that gift certificate, will ya?

In non panhandling-for-beautification news, some developer purchased the Derby and surrounding land. So now, a Whole Foods along with luxury condos and underground parking are supposed to be built on that land.

There's some sort of a public hearing tonight. My neighbor just called to see if I'd go with and I now feel guilted into it. Tearing down the Derby takes a part of my neighborhood that I cherish away. And wil also cause noisy construction for the next few years while they dig, build, and fuck up traffic on my block.

If I weren't on Blackberry I'd google the "blood is life" speech and sub in Scrabble.

PT better start my session soon. I'm losing it here.

Does that EVER sound familiar. In college we used to play midnight croquet across campus for Mardi Gras and various other occasions. Odd attire and alcohol. But even so there were a few who wanted it precisely by the rules (even late into the event, where the losers got to wreak havoc as gremlins.) After dealing with me for a bit, they gave in an gifted me a rubber mallet, named it Gremlin. I was the honorary pain in the ass. I was so proud.

Wow, they put a lot of makeup on Rachel on Alias. Or maybe it's the light.

cursed internet Boggle.

Please to share?

I tried to make an Underpants Gnomes analogy to my therapist today, and I had to explain what they were.

I don't think he got the point I was trying to make.

Let's see if he ups your dosage or not.

What's funny is playing board games with Allyson and Polgara because Allyson gets all, 'Aw, who gives a shit." then she ends up winning, as happened with Risk.

I'm super competitive so I try not to place myself in situations where I have to compete becuase I don't take losing well. and I'll cheat. AND FOR THE RECORD ZED IS SO NOT A WORD. It's the name of a letter. Thank you.
