So, last week, Benjamin introduced Keith and I to an iphone app called “Firemint”. It’s a flight control game where you try to land as many planes as possible. Keith and Ben were playing, and me, trying to act the part of the not-very-interested girl. But, the truth is, I downloaded the game that night and have been playing ever since. Ben and Noah have been at this awhile, and while I don’t know Keith’s stats, I do know that those two have landed over 100 planes each. I am at 43. 43!!! What the hell? And it’s not for lack of trying. I really have been trying…a bit harder than I will ever EVER admit to. So, a word to the wise if you are planning on playing this game: concentration is key. I have attempted to land many a plane while watching crappy reality television(of which I will also not admit to doing, but in truth, what the heck is up with those kids on NYC Prep??) only to be met with my helicopter and speedy pink plane crashing into each other, falling short yet again of breaking my record.

So, I am off to bribe some 9 year old who is far more adept at video games than I am to teach me the secret to landing 100 planes. Sad day indeed.
