ok, this is going to be equally nerdy and petty.
i play scrabble. on-line. i know, i know, it’s not exactly the, uh, coolest thing to do while on tour and staying in hotel rooms. but it’s better than smoking crystal meth and telling my life story to hookers at 8 a.m.
so, i play on line scrabble. and i had a word that would’ve given me 170 points in one turn. but dumb on-line scrabble didn’t accept it as a word: ‘feijoada’.
on both a triple and double word score. it’s a brazilian dish. and after scrabble rejected it i looked it up and it’s in the dictionary. i was robbed, robbed i tells ya. 170 points in one turn? such is the stuff of legend, like nessie and true love.
ok, that’s me being nerdy and petty for the night. well, i should be more specific: that’s me being nerdy and petty in public for the night. i have entirely new depths of nerdiness and pettiness ahead (or below) of me this evening, i’m sure. 170 points. in one turn. it has become my white whale. or white wail.
i’ll stop now.
