Sometimes I want to play a quick game to take a mental break from my real world. I used to play solitaire for 10 minutes or so, and then I tried my hand at Mahjong. Now I found a cool word game called Bookworm. It is like Scrabble in that you use tiles with letters to make words. But it is a single player game and it really does exercise the brain. I used to be happy to get a high score of 100,000 before losing a round, but now I regularly top 1,000,000 and the same game can go one for weeks at a time – I just play for 10 or 12 minutes and save the current game. Then, when I have another quick break, I pick up from where I left off and play for a while, save it, and so on.
Allergies or the Flu?
Woke up feeling really bad this morning. I am sweating really bad and I can’t breathe without coughing a dry, hacking cough. I might have to stay home today – I fell awful and if it is not allergies, then I don’t want to share germs with the people at work. I just want some Nyquil and a warm soft blanket and pillow, so I can go back to sleep.
Where’s My Pizza?
I ordered a pizza and hot wings online tonight. I’m tired and it’s Friday and I think I need pizza and wings to wind down and chill. But I ordered the food online over an hour ago and still no food. I remember when Dominoes first came out, back in the early years, they promised to bring your pizza to your door in 10 minutes or less. Well, that promise sure didn’t last.
Happy Birthday Micah
My friend, Micah, is trying to get his big break in the music business. Since today is his birthday, I thought it would be fun to bake him a cake shaped like a guitar. I think it turned out really good – it looks just like this one – and will be carrying it over to his house after work for a surprise.
