Why, Oh Why?

Did I ever click on this link? I mean, Scrabulous is fun, but now I am completely addicted to the Tetris of the word world. (Don't tell T. He just thinks I have a slight problem, not that I'm a full-blown, cracked-out Babble whore.)

I don't have time for this, but when did that ever stop me? (Reference: Myst during finals week debacle or Indiana Jones "This is Crab Central"/"Sophia, let's talk brick wall" that took a week to figure out.) Thank God I don't smoke any more, or I'd be huddled over the laptop, puffing away, playing Babble in a corner of the basement while the kids destroyed the house and it fell in on me, oblivious to everything but shrinking the number of words left.

Word nerds: Follow that link at your own peril.

This is Sad

So, CBS is going to air video games tomorrow. Like, instead of sports. So, there actually is something more frighteningly indicative of the laziness of our culture than hordes of children (and men) sitting around repeatedly tapping keys and staring at a rectangular box for hours on end; Hordes of men and children sitting on a couch watching other people sitting around repeatedly tapping keys and staring at a rectangular box for hours on end.

This is so fucking sad.
