So I’m MILDLY addicted to computer games.  Most specifically, PopCap games that I play for free online.  It all started with Alchemy, then Bejeweled (original and 2), on to Zuma, and then Bookworm.  Recently I’ve branched out past Atomica onto another game where I have to type as fast as I can so that my diver doesn’t get eaten by sharks and piranhas—that’s educational, right?  I’m actually PRACticing a skill that’s useful.  Spending hours online is serving SOME purpose right?  Right?  ANYONE?  Forming words quickly on Bookworm helps my intelligence quotient.  I have found some pretty interesting words on Bookworm—yes “QUA” is a word.  And these games help the brain, right?  So I don’t get early Alzheimer’s or whatever?  It’s like my dad with crossword puzzles, right?  Right? RIGHT?

right.
