Mindless fun

Well, it's not totally mindless, but it's fun. Bookworm is sort of a combination of Scrabble and Boggle, only the letter combinations continually change. It's easier to show you than to describe it, so just click on over to the game and try it for yourself. There are a bunch of fun games there, and some are available for PC, Mac and PDA downloads, too.

Friday Five

Another sporadic installment of Friday Five questions (sporadic meaning my posts for them are sporadic, that is).

1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why?
I never read comics much, but of TV superhero genre, I liked Batman. He was campy and fun, with colorful adversaries. I also thought of Bill Bixby's character on The Courtship of Eddie's Father, as a hero of sorts. Here was a dad who really loved his son, was kind and considerate of his feelings, and did his best for him. I watched the show all the time and wished I could be Eddie.

2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got?
A decent father. Well, I got one as an adult with my step-dad, but it's not quite the same thing.

3. What's the furthest from home you've been?
It depends on what you call home. Furthest from my physical brick-and-mortar home would be Louisiana.

4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?
Consistency and self-discipline.

5. What are your plans for the weekend?
We're going to visit our best friends Saturday and Sunday night we're slated to watch movies with another friend.
