Scrabble geekery.

Yes I realise I have bored you in the past with my tales of Scrabble/Scrabulous geekery, but I have to do it once more. I not only beat my previous highest bingo, but completely destroyed it. The word? Samshoos! It's a Chinese spirit made from rice. I didn't realise it existed until I checked the dictionary in the Scrabulous game. The score I got for it? As if you are really interested, but to play along - I got 194 points! To say this made me whoop with excitement wouldn't be a lie. Yes I'm a geek. Yes I know you don't care. I'm going to have a cookie now in celebration, with a nice wee cup of tea. Oh and for proof, here it's:



I might just do nothing for the rest of the day since I'm unlikely to surpass these heights. Oh, but Nigerian 1970s exchange rate policies are calling me!

A thing of beauty.

I love Scrabble. it's one of my favourite games. It saddens me that I no longer get to play it face to face very often, so imagine how pleased I was to find that Facebook had it in an application called Scrabulous. Pretty pleased. Not as pleased as when I played the word 'tentacle' for all 7 letters out and a 50 point bonus. I was very pleased about that. Not as pleased as after my next go which will be ANOTHER 7 letter word out and ANOTHER 50 point bonus! LOOK!


I love Scrabble. I suppose you'll be wanting proof of my play though?

Here it's!


Who would have thought the word 'invalid' would make someone so happy? And before any of you start trying to burst my bubble- I play the games for a couple of minutes over the course of a few days. And yes, the thesis is *nearly* done. Honest.

Still, two 7 letter words in a row. That NEVER happens to me. I'm so glad blogger allows me to document this milestone in my life.
