FYI.

kaur and i just had the most intense game of scrabble.  

why was it intense?

1.  we got trapped, and only played on 2/3 of the board.  

2.  it took us approximately 3 hours to complete.

3.  we both set our personal best scores - getting into the 300's!!!

4.  for some reason it felt like the proportion of vowels to consonants was way off... so many vowels! seriously, i felt like i had 4-7 vowels on my rack at all times throughout the game (and i am pretty sure kaur felt the same way).

outcome:  354-312 (i won).

love keiko.
