Video-game version of crack cocaine

I’ve not posted for three days now, and that is partly due to the fact that I have become hopelessly addicted to Bookworm.

Don’t bother clicking on the link unless you want to lose half your day to this game. I’m serious. It’s insane. This game is so dementedly absorbing that it’s like a UFO abduction, just a total lost-time syndrome: I started playing yesterday at 5 pm and didn’t look up until 10:55 pm. As in, I forgot even to check my freaking watch during that time.

I. Am. Warning. You.
