They Really Ought to Put Warning Labels on These Things.

You wanna know the most inadvisable thing I've done recently? Downloading the deluxe edition of Bespelled. Man, that thing is an addictive time-sink of positively Tetris-like proportions. I sat down at the computer earlier tonight thinking I'd just play a quick game before work. Two hours, thirty-two levels and 1,713,580 points later, I was finally taken down by a rampaging red "J." I scored so high, they'd run out of names for the rankings. And this, I should add if I'm going to brag, was on the more challenging "action mode" available on the deluxe edition, where the letter tiles turn red and move on you even if you haven't completed a word.

Ah, it's so nice to know that my ridiculously large vocabulary is useful for something.

Unfortunately, my neck muscles are now sore from hunching intently over the keyboard, my wrist hurts a little from repeated mouse-clicking, and my eyes are completely glazed over. And now I have to sit here in front of a computer at work for the next eight hours. Yeah, OK, I'm an idiot. But I'm an idiot who's never gonna get wiped off the High Scores list! Hoo-ya!
