Another Friday has rolled around and it's time to join Shay over at Quilting in my Pyjamas for another Favorite Things Friday. Yay!
My favorite for this week? Bejeweled Blitz.
Yep, a mindless time waster if there ever was one. That said, sometimes it's great to simply take a break from life ~ even quilting ~ and indulge in some meaningless relaxation. Nothing like watching virtual jewels blow up to get me into full relax mode.
I was playing the game alone on the version I have on my home computer, but I've since discovered that it is possible to play against other people through Google + and Facebook. For the last several weeks I have been competing against my cousin-in-law, Eric, through Google +. Week after week, I'd pull ahead only to watch him trounce me and prevail before the week's end. Last week, however, I finally got my turn in the winner's circle. Losing for weeks on end made that win all the more sweet. (Oddly enough both of our scores for that week were lower than in previous weeks, so go figure.)
After playing on Google +, I finally rejoined Facebook in order to play there. (I'm not a big fan of Facebook. I prefer more in depth communication over the blurbs posted on Facebook. But hey, that's just me.) It appears I'm taking this serious time waster to a new level!
