I’m addicted! I’m addicted to listening to 80’s tunes like The Bangles - Walk like an Egyptian and Tears for Fears - Head over Heels (an often overlooked gem.) and playing internet checkers. Not to brag, but i’ve become quite good.
You should see me hunched over my keyboard with my sunglasses taking draws off a Guinness, a pained expression on my face. It’s hillarious, or so I’m told.
I think the addiction is getting worse. Last night I had a dream about playing checkers and I frequently find when I close my eyes that the image of the board is burned in. I also find myself playing mock games in my head at various points during the day.
I imagine there is some seedy, underground internet checkers club where people like me hang out, smoke cigars, slap on Exile on Main St. (on vinyl) and chill out.
Then again, maybe not.
