Poly-Addictions

SIGH. I am suffering from some major addictions right now. My novel progress has slowed and I am returning to insomnia.

>Twitter- Is something I just can't get enough of. Externally it seems like such a stupid thing; a micr0-baby-blog where you post your thoughts, seems like facebook-lite. But using it is a different experience. I'm convinced most people are in it for a soapbox effect, it seems like having followers is actually more important than having a message. That being said, it is nice to hear people's opinions and ideas as well as receive breaking news before it breaks from anywhere else ALL in semi-real time.

>Skins- This british show that is part gossip girl, part OC, part Hills and then something else all together. I knew I was going to adore the show when I saw a poster for Fellini's 8 1/2 in an opening shot. I like shows that go to extremes and this one gives me the same kind of rush I get from 24, only in on a more social level. I don't want to use the word raw, but I do.

>Lux/Cribbage Delux- 2 iphone app games that are totally addictive. Cribbage is addictive in itself, but playing a game that is smoother than Yahoo crib is so refreshing. Lux is just like Risk and some games the computer plays dumb while other times the computer plays brilliantly. I am debating getting the 8 dollar upgrade.

>Persona 4- Adult PS2 game, horror/mystery. It's half linear and half jap-cheesy, but at the same time it is engrossing and the day to day time passage system is addictive. I don't love the mechanics of the game, but there is something that makes me just want to keep pushing through. It might also be the only pro-LGBT game I've ever played.

ANYWAYS, what suffers from this is my writing and blogging. God knows I'm hanging on to Slate and Huffington like they're IVs. This has been a poor man's March Break. :S
Next Month: PS3.
