Exchanging cross words

[vovat]

First of all, happy birthday to daveychu, who has the privilege of having been born five days before I was.

Anyway, I read in the Metro the other day that Blockbuster had put in a bid to buy Hollywood Video. This is pretty annoying, since I prefer Hollywood to Blockbuster. They seem to have a better selection and better prices. Oh, well. The article said it wasn't definite that Blockbuster would buy Hollywood, but it's a distinct possibility.

I also tried to do the crossword puzzle in the Metro with a pen. Like Confucius, only he's probably better at it than I am. I didn't have a pencil, though, so I ended up having to write over some letters with other ones. Overall, I'm just not that good at crossword puzzles. You might think I would be, since I'm generall fairly good with words, but I guess I'm not that skilled at thinking like the crossword makers do.

That line was going through my head the other day, after I saw that someone had started a crossword in the student newspaper in pencil. I always do mine in pen. Pencil just isn't dark enough on newsprint.
