Al, you were right!  I was only planning on joining Facebook to play some games.  Dang it, I have work to do!!  Stop uploading photos.  Stop looking for old friends.  Stop cruising apps! 

Today's a waste, I may as well just go home.

It levels out after a while, Ryan. But the first while you're on? Oh yeah, it
can take over your life!

Right now, more lucky than anything.

Scrabble evens out too. In Scrabbulous I was on top of the world when I started, and then had my...head... handed to me for about a dozen games straight. Opponents getting double-letter with Z while also getting triple-word scores, turns on end with no vowels, etc.

Glad the whole Scrabbulous being disabled has given me a chance to "restart". Gets rid of all of those games I fouled up as I was learning stragety.

Well, it may be the "offical" game, but it sure as hell is no Scrabulous.

Fortunately, the makers of Scrabulous have Wordscraper now, which can be
as identical to Scabble/Scrabulous as you want... ...or not. You can choose
where the 2x/3x and even 4x letter/word scores go on the board.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, and it has that nice, crisp interface we're used to
from Scrabulous and isn't as buggy or ugly as Scrabble...

By the way, Ryan, I'm still waiting for you to accept the game of
Reversi/Othello I've challenged you to on Facebook...

I started out big on Wordscraper against Paulo, now he's slowly handing my ass to me.
