tuesday

i'm just going to say it one last time. i'm completely over groupons. did a quick check of the big 4 (groupon, living social, google offers, amazon local), and i currently have 6 deals that i have yet to redeem. 2 have expired, and the other 4 will expire relatively soon. the last straw was when i saw a groupon for a mexican restaurant in tracy. Casa Flores. it's close to our house and my mom said it was good. so when i saw a $10 for $20 deal, i reluctantly bought it. once i told my mom about it, she said that there are always coupons for that place in the newspaper (get $10 off for $20 purchase). level 5-tilt. damnnn it. yes i'll probably let the rest expire worthless. no i don't care. yes i know i said i would never let any of them expire worthless. yes i'm all talk. yes i heard that if you email groupon and say that you want your money back, that they will give it to you. no i probably won't do it.

scramble is like chess. there's too much skill. that's why i am (and most people i think) are a little scrambled out. if you are better than someone, you will beat them 85% of the time. it's still cool, but just kind of over it at the moment. just fyi, that's exactly why poker is so much fun, perfect combination of skill and luck. i'm on to "draw something" (GMIZ). it's cool. but the 2 things i don't like. there isn't a chat window so you can talk to the person you are playing with. and more importantly, there's no competitive aspect to the game. you can't "own" somebody. When i first started playing scramble, i would fist-pump after a good round. That will never happen in draw something. i don't know how i would change it. don't have answers, only questions and complaints
