In the interest of remaining stationary, and killing time, I've already played a move in the current Words With Friends game I've got going, albeit a weak one, so I thought I'd head over here to scatter some letters about, unrestrained.
Speaking literally, a word of warning- that game is addictive, and not only can it invoke airplane hostility (what doesn't?), it can also lead to bad dreams and marital strife. Particularly when only one spouse is playing the game, but the other (with mad skills) really wants to be. Stew and I are at the joking-about-it stage of reconciliation, unless writing this sets us back a step (*waves a white flag*). Final closure might come from the two of us duking it out over a board ourselves. But as he has no access to a virtual one, we'd have to go old school, blowing the dust off our shelved board game. Possibly there is a round of Strip Scrabble in our future. Maybe when my head doesn't feel like a balloon.
Until then, the curing powers of the couch have sufficed, in the form of shared video viewing. Instead of schilling out dough for Season 2 of Walking Dead, we marathoned through another NetFlix'd Joss Whedon series, Dollhouse (oddly compelling).
And last night we watched Warrior. Like Moneyball, it was better than I thought it would be and had a song in it begging for download. At the end of the movie, the haunting baritone in "About Today" by The National hooked me. Might have to check out more of their stuff, but for now I downloaded a live version, which was double the length and half the price of the movie version. Like getting 45 pts using only three tiles...
