Words and birds

In the first few days of January, I began to help my friend with the game Words With friends. She had gotten a kindle for Christmas and it was the first time I had experienced it first hand, though I had heard from family members and read online how addictive it was. On the fourth I started my own account and after a few minutes, I was hooked.

The game is very simple, it is online Scrabble which was never one of my favorite games. However, my competing nature takes hold of me and i can't get enough of it. Though it is called Words With friends, for the most part I play using the random opponent option and my most exciting games have been with friends famous people. For instance Beau Bridges and I are in our second heated game is (I often yell screw you Bridges!! at my phone) and, thanks to assistance by my mother, I am kicking Andrew Garfield's (Spokesman coming Summer 2012) butt. However, favorite opponent might just be Python alum and director Terry Gilliam who goes back and forth between Gilliamesque words like dire and bleak (like it looking bleak that he will ever make a Don Quite movie though he is in dire need for work) and using different words for poop.


And as if my addiction to one game wasn't enough, when I got my new phone-which I really needed but did make sure it was capable of operating Wwf- it came with Angry Birds (which David Cook once called ridiculously addictive.) If you didn't know this is a game where you try had kill pigs with birds you shoot with a slingshot with the level of difficulty going up each time. Oh I hate those little piggies, especially when they are smug and have mustaches. I am doing rather well though some battles have taken a lot of tries.

So yeah, this is how constructively I spend the time off from work.
