Room 622: Online Sudoku

I rarely opted for Sudoku in the past (Side note: somehow I want to pronounce soo-doo-koe and not soo-doe-koo. I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you if you cared). Mainly when at my mechanics when the local paper was the only viable reading option besides car magazines and Better Homes and Gardens (you know, for us gals!). I would do the crossword puzzle and then tackle the Sudoku. Mostly in an effort to appear engrossed in something as to avoid going out to lunch with the owner. Very nice man who pays for lunch (it's the least he can do since I shell out quite a bit of money to his establishment) although one time he did start massaging my shoulders and that was a wee bit creepy (not during lunch because it would be hard to chew with that going on but rather when I was waiting to get my car keys and flee). I was OK with the free lunch (obviously! Free. Lunch.) and the French song CD he burned for me (I know! A mix tape! I chalked it up to the holidays) but the rubbing of the shoulders? I've worked in many theatres and I'm not easily sexually-harassed but yeah: Weird.

Anyway, Sudoku. I also would do them on airplanes. I would get quite pissed if the ones in the in flight magazine in my seat back pocket were already done. But I would delight if just the "Easy" one was done. And in pencil. Amateurs! But as of late, I've found myself obsessed with online sudoku. Maybe it's because I know I'm being bad! Our IS department at work blocked some sites mostly ones with the word "games" anywhere on the page (killjoys). But the not-blocked realage.com has a section on Keeping Your Brain Sharp. Lo and behold, it contains online crossword puzzles and not one but TWO different versions of Sudoku. And one of the versions has four different levels of difficulty each day while the other increases in difficulty as the week goes (kind of like the New York Times crossword with Sunday being the hardest). Are you salivating? I am!

So now I have the daily ritual of doing online sudoku. In the comfort of my massage-free office.
