HAPPY AMANDA NEW YEAR GUYS, AMANDA IS NOW OFFICIALLY TWENTY-SEVEN.

gromko was pretty happy to play GLUCOSE on a triple word score for 66 points, but I came right back the next turn and played ZEDS with the Z on a triple letter and the S on a triple words, and now she's kind of not talking to me.

I'm a little surprised that PHO isn't accepted in Words With Friends, especially since so many other words of foreign origin (and questionable usage in actual English) are in the game.

I think I need to find some less-wordy friends, because I consistently get my butt kicked at Words With Friends on Facebook.

I think I would enjoy games like Scrabble or Words With Friends more if they only used "common" words, and not totally obscure words like qis and adze.

This is something that you all desperately need in your lives.

i may have been messing with Beth for the first several rounds of that game.

And apparently you can no longer get Simoleons and SP from showering at other Sims' houses.

i don't understand why Jack's Sim never likes it when my Sim plays the opening bars to "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" while screaming off-key gibberish performs a love song.

i am beside myself.
