I just played the word "strip" by adding an 's' to 'trip'. It woudln't have been a good play, except that I got to play the 's' on a triple word block. That made it a decent score. I stripped down a rocking chair last week and painted it green. It had been an ugly, outdated rocking chair, but now it's adorable. I also cut up a giraffe print throw blanket and recovered its cushions with them. The cushions in my diningroom chairs are not soft enough to allow them to be used as desk chairs, but the desk chair is at the desk and I'm in the diningroom, so I'm using a diningroom chair as a desk chair.
Which brings us to the question, why is a raven like a writing desk?
"Yules" is not a word, and yet, scrabble allows it? Why is that? they also allow "Jo," which is my nickname, so I can't think of a use for it where it does not qualify as a proper noun. That should disallow it, but it doesn't. I wonder how many fake words are allowed to break the scrabble rules?
If I were a fake word then I would break a lot of rules. I would carry extra pixels so that I could change my letters to make higher scoring words. I might even use the pixels to make my vowels have 10 points instead of 1.
I need sleep. I'm tired. I should be working but I'm not.
