Someone brought Christmass cookies into the office and I've long since faded into a drooling haze of sugar and Red Dye No. 5. I had another post about how I never got store-bought cookies as a hippie child, but Blogger ate it and I'm too lazy to reconstruct it.
Instead, I'll do the Friday Five.
1. List your five favorite beverages.
Overwhelmingly and in several incarnations, water. Running a close second is coffee. In the distant third are not-too-sweet iced tea, Belgium beers, and gin 'n tonics.
Honorable mention must go to my sweetie making espresso for me on the weekends. Marina's heart goes all pitter-patter
2. List your five favorite websites.
Favorite for what? I do a lot of website visiting. Anything that made a favorable impression is probably in the links section of my blog.
3. List your five favorite snack foods.
I don't really snack all that often. But Doritos will always have a special place in my heart.
4. List your five favorite board and/or card games.
I used to love chess . I've never been able to interest the spousal unit in it though, and I'm very rusty now. Uno was great fun for family gatherings, and I love all of the Solataire games bundled with Windows.
5. List your five favorite computer and/or game system games.
Jezzball and tetris. I like abstract games where the purpose is to capture a ball or manipulate a rectangle. Specific games where you cast healing spells at orcs or pilot a StarGazer have always left me cold.
No one has ever heard of jezzball, but it used to be packaged on the Windows operating system back in the early/mid-nineties. Back when I worked in a media outlet run by the Unification Church, several of us became obsessed with Jezzball. We'd catch each other's eye after office meetings and ask, "Pssst. What's your high score?" Because there is no way to pretend that you just happened to reach Level 16 during a fifteen minute break. No, you have to be an addict.
