Just a game
Jun. 3rd, 2005 01:50 pmI'm apparently not very good at Bejeweled 2, one of the games at the MSN Gaming Zone. I've still only reached a one-star skill level, with 30,880 points. There are some neat new aspects to the game that the original Bejeweled didn't have, but I think I liked the jewels randomly disappearing once you reached a certain point better than actually progressing to a new level.
I can't get Bespelled to load at all anymore. That's a shame, since it's a good game.
Speaking of online games that won't load, is whatsbetter.com totally down now, or what? I haven't been able to access it in months, and I miss comparing totally unrelated things.
For some time now, Winamp has been my MP3 player of choice. I decided to try using iTunes for that purpose as of last night, though, and I think the fact that it keeps track of what songs you've played is pretty cool. Rating songs is also fun, although I kind of wish they'd let you rank things on a scale of ten stars instead of five.
This is shaping up to be another day when I really don't do anything. I guess I have a lot of those, since I only work part-time, but I draw a distinction between the days when I do something that's at least slightly productive (reading, writing, watching a movie, cleaning out my car, washing dishes), and when I really don't do ANYTHING aside from eating, sleeping, and playing computer games. Fridays are often the latter sort for me.

Was this the most boring journal entry I've ever written, or what? Maybe I should wait until I actually have something significant to write about before posting anything, but I feel somewhat obligated to post more frequently than that.
By the way, I know nobody generally sees my settings for this journal, but I changed the colors anyway. It's basically one of the default settings, but with yellow instead of the pinkish-red color that was originally used for the background of the entries. I'm wondering if the yellow might be too bright, though. I know I'm usually the only one who sees it, but I have trouble trusting my own judgment nonetheless.
