Mine Sweeper and spelling

I've been stuck on playing Mine Sweeper lately. I hate those little bombs that go off, but I discovered that you can exchange the bombs for flowers. (There's got to be a lesson in there somewhere.) I still hate seeing them come up, which is crazy because I spend all winter waiting for spring flower.

You see, life is just too screwed up everything has at least two meanings. Maybe it's just the English language.

For me English is a lot like Mine Sweeper, especially when you consider spelling. I'll be writing away, the thoughts flowing and ideas coming left and right, and bang...I hit a wall trying to spell my vocabulary. It makes me feel like a crash dummy. Especially now that I'm older, because once I get past the spelling log jam, I can't frickin remember what the hell I was trying to say. That great point I was trying to make, or nuance I had planned to include is lost.

I love spell check, but I'm waiting for the spell check chip I can load directly into my brain.
