That's so on the mark it's scary. Even the origami. XD "Shit, where's that page of notes...is it the crane or the frog?"

I actually don't stop at Sudoku. I've been doing crossword puzzles and all the other shit on the typical newspaper games page for many years now. If I'm bored enough I will attempt the fucking quote acrostic. There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment I get from finishing one of those. Crosswords are my favorite by far.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I tend to do Newsday if I can get my hands on it, though Monday through Wednesday I basically get out the stopwatch and time myself. Thursday and Friday usually have a corner that I have to put some though into. Saturday is the "stumper" puzzle, basically a lot of long, tough words with no theme answers. Sunday is the most fun, because it's huge but generally no harder than Friday.

The cryptoquote is always gold, because the difficulty is pretty random. God I love cryptoquote.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
