the day

Went to bed late after a jam-packed Friday night full of fun (three hour dinner with one Lisa, game night with another Lisa). Was awoken at an ungodly hour by Frank who needs to be accompanied to the back yard for his morning pees (we have a dog door, it's open, but he still needs someone to go downstairs and keep him company. he will yip and yip until someone gets up to 'take him out' even though he can go out on his own. yes, it's annoying.)

So - even before 8am this morning I was ready for a nap (sayin' something, since I'm not a napper). So I've been whittling away the past couple of hours waiting to wake up and not having much luck. So far I've:

- come to the conclusion, again, that I really suck at Scrabble. Folks who know me are surprised by this (as am I, frankly, I'm such a word geek it seems like I *should* be really kickass). But no, I am the world's biggest Scrabble lame-o. Lucky for me my love of playing games trumps my need to win.

- thought my house smells stale. thought about all the cleaning that should be happening. kept sitting here, not doing anything about it.

- continued to be obsessed with Flickr Wardrobe ReMix. Apologies to all my Flickr friends who are by now doubtless fully sick of seeing pictures of me in different outfits.

- made a mental list of things I wanted to do but wasn't doing so I could post about it. and apparently now that I'm posting my brain isn't working to the point where I can't even remember the list of stuff I was thinking/doing 10 minutes ago. Yowzer!

Scrabble isn't really primarily a word game. Scrabble is really about controlling territory on the board and maneuvering for best access to the multiplier spaces. Alternatively, it's fun to play Scrabble using the OED as the reference; it turns it much more into a bluffing game. ;)
