Trapped by another puzzle game...

Thérèse, I love your blog, and maybe too much. I am hooked on that puzzle. Minesweeper was my first addiction. After 4 years of playing minesweeper instead of social interaction or homework, I completed the Expert level in 78 seconds. I later owned a beautiful iBook - which does not have minesweeper. Instead I made the tragic mistake of downloading a tetris clone.
Thought 1: I need to go study in the library
Body: Walk to library
Thought 2: I should check my email
Body: open laptop and check email
Thought 3: hmmm, I'll play tetris and try to beat my previous score. I'll just play for 10 minutes.
Body: play tetris for 1.5 hours.
Thought 4: Time to go home, i'll study there...
Body: Go home, repeat at Thought 2.

This did not have a positive effect on my grades...

And now, I am sucked into another tragic hole. I beat that puzzle game in 54 moves and I MUST do better. Argh!!!!

[giggles for five minutes in recognition of addictive nature of these games]

You've got me beat on the expert level of minesweeper... although I did beat the beginner level in 7 seconds once.

So... wanna know my high score? You'll cry, and really get obsessed with beating it... ok I'll tell you anyway. 12 moves. Eeeeeyah.
