Hanging My Words With Friends
11-27-2011
I have had my android phone for quite some time now but recently I have become quite addicted to some of its features. By features, I’m obviously not going to talk about anything useful or helpful or even something that is probably interesting to you. I’m going to talk about ridiculous little games that I play on my phone. That’s right… I’m that pathetic.
It’s not like I’m just sitting in a corner with my phone playing all alone, though. I’m playing games with other people. Some might even say I’m playing with friends. Do you know what I’m getting at yet?
Oh yes, I’ve been playing Words With Friends and Hanging With Friends – two of Zynga’s super fun and addicting games wrapped up in a pretty bow for the phone. Basically, they’re a glorified Scrabble and Hangman but I’m addicted to them nonetheless. It’s super fun to play them all day when I’ve got a spare second to check my phone.
The funny thing is, it has made me want to break out a real scrabble board and play it the old fashioned way but I don’t have anyone to play it with nor do I have an actual scrabble board. I will have to make a point to do this sometime in the future but for now I will continue to practice on my phone with my friends in far away lands.
Do you play games on your phone?

I am going on a trip this week down to the school where I’ll be teaching in January. I am going to be sitting in on classes and just generally seeing how the school is run all week (plus probably doing something useful around there too, I’m sure). I am going to be staying with one of the teachers for the week and I am very excited. I think it will be great to finally meet some of the people I’ll be working with.
I’ll be taking my camera with me and I’ve scheduled some blog posts for your enjoyment along the way while I’m gone because I don’t think I’ll have much access to the internet while I’m away. You won’t hear much from me around the internet other than my already scheduled blog posts until I return at the end of the week. Then I have to work on Saturday AND Sunday. Bummer.
In the meantime while I’m packing, here are some random things I’ve liked on YouTube lately to entertain you. I hope you all have a wonderful week! I know that I will!
First, a funny video, because everyone likes humour.
Some well made videos that make you think and tell great stories.
And you’ve got to have some videos of cats, am I right?

I was working at the supermarket dairy the other day when I noticed a cute little kid in a shopping cart who was obviously talking to me. He was being pushed around by his mother and was sitting in that front seat part and couldn’t have been more than 2 years old. He was at that age where you couldn’t always understand what he was saying even though you could tell that he was definitely forming complete sentences and making sense so I answered him with one of those animated and polite, “oh, really? Cool!” Then I gave him my biggest smile. :)
My toddler buddy started hysterically laughing. Whatever he had said was obviously the funniest thing on the planet and so I gave a chuckle too since I was obviously in on the joke. Also, he was a really cute kid and he had just brightened my day, as kids do.
His mother turned to me and felt the need to not only translate what her son had said but also explain it to me. She told me how her little whipper snapper had somehow seen an episode of South Park and that’s where he heard the joke, “Do you like fish sticks? What are you, a gay fish?” That is when I understood what the kid had said. He had just told me this joke. The mother apologized again as the kid kept blurting out the joke at me. I told her it was cute and she smiled and ran away.
Today, I was minding my own business and out of the corner of my eye I saw the same kid. I smiled at him and he screamed at me, “GAY FISH!” I laughed out loud and said to him, “Oh! You remember me, huh?” I thought it was pretty adorable that he remembered. Also, it was pretty hilarious. It was probably funnier if you were there and it doesn’t sound so funny now that I’m writing it down but perhaps you can still see the hilarity in it all because I definitely do.
Do you like fish sticks?
