  today they had a supposedly challenging SAT passage by a local book reviewer. and also there was an article on people playing scrabble! woohoo scrabble. it sucks though, because i've been losing game after game. i have an inherent disability that keeps me from discovering eight letter combinations that sound remotely english.
the other day i lost because i didn't realise that the word "partisan" was begging to be put in, and my worthy adversary put "quartz" on a fucking triple word score and got ahead by, um, about fifty to sixty points on that move alone. and needless to say i killed myself in the end by putting "insignia" on the board: it's 57 points, all right, but i just left a host of vowels leading to percarious squares of enemy reward.
like a double word score thing, and in the end i lost by fifteen points. i suck. i had no reason to lose this, even if i so stupidly put a word to position the triple word play on quartz. i could've won with "partisan"! i could have struck the lottery, gotten a few concubines and made dinner by three o'clock! so now i'm training on my eight letter words. and you people can just, um, shove it. bye.
