I worked from home today due to some doctor appointments.  I thought I was lucky that it just happened to be the same day as a major Apple announcement--rumored to be around iTunes 8 and iPods.

So I was working from home patiently awaiting the announcements.

And then the BuddyTV interview hit LJ.  And that's all I could think about.

I even saw an flist item float by about NBC coming back to iTunes including BSG!!!!  If this had been any other day--I would have been SO over that with like YAY!  

As it is, I barely noted it.

And I STILL haven't gone out to see what Apple DID announce.

I just don't think I have the psychic energy.  Three intense days of J2 wonderfulness has completely ruined me for anything.

And I'm an Apple fangirl.

But I guess my SAA syndrome trumps Apple anyday.

Apple released their new Applications store which I'd been awaiting for like...a year.  This weekend I updated my Touch software to get the $9.99 software update that enables Touch's to run the applications.

Then I played with three cool applications:

  • Platinum Suduko (cuz yeah I guess few can resist Suduko)
  • Remote - which is this really cool free app that lets you use your Touch or iPhone to remotely control iTunes or Apple TV.  (I know only an Apple geek would appreciate this.  But it's cool man!)
And then what kept me up until 1am. 

Anyone who knows me knows that I really, really, really don't like games. 

Of any kind. 

No really I don't. 

Never have. 

Even as a small child. 

I don't find them exciting.  They make me sad because SOMEONE always LOSES!  If I win, I feel bad about the other person(s).  And if I lose, then I feel like I need to spend time and energy so I can master the darn thing.  And?  I think it's all a callousel(sp?) waste of time.

When I was an older teenager, my family got their first computer--yup it was an Apple II back in the dark ages of home computing.  There were no graphics (or very little)--it was all word inputs. 

I found there was a type of game I enjoyed on the Apple II.  It was an "adventure" game where the computer described in words where you were and what your objective was and then you told the computer to go north, south, west, east OR pick up this or that, etc.

It was not timed.  There were no scores.  It was just interesting.

That was my speed. 

Computer games generally lost me after Pong and *MAYBE* Pac-man.

But this frigging game I downloaded last night!  I freaking love it.

It's called Trism and it's not that different from Bejeweled  but I like it so much better.  Perhaps because it's so pattern and visually oriented that I'm just naturally enthralled by it.  Before I knew it it was 1 am.  And guess what?  The first damn thing I did this morning after waking at 5:30 am--was to play 2 damn games!  I'm trying REAL hard not to pick the thing up because I really have to get back to work this afternoon.

Here's a picture of the Trism game from some website online:



I'm frickin' addicted I tell you!

Open your iTunes.
Sort by song title.
Share with us the first song you have for each letter.

Note:  I first did this to my whole music list--the result was disappointing as I have so much stuff that I don't listen to.  So instead I chose my 5 Star playlist and did it on that.
