Crossword Construction
Over the summer, Sarah and I became inordinately fond of crossword puzzles. I think Sarah actually enjoys them, whereas I just don't want to get Alzheimer's.
So last night, still recovering from this surgery, I decided I was going to make a crossword puzzle. I figured that Professional Crossword Constructionist might be a nice sidelight for me, and also I figured, "Hey, I'm good at anagramming. How hard can this be?"
Very, very hard, as it turns out. I gave it my very best, but my very best was pretty sucky ("Destitute Taoist," for instance, was POLAO, because I couldn't make an actual word fit in its place). But I did have one clue and answer I was immensely proud of:
The answer is three letters. The clue, "It's best in Miami."
Awwww yeah!

What's wrong with you? CSI Vegas is clearly the superior CSI.
You know what's scary? I went to the mouth surgery page, and it took me a few views to even identify what part of the body the diagrams are of. I mean, somewhere in the mouth, clearly. But...weird.
Maybe on one of the audiobooks of your novels, you could have dramatic screaming after every one-liner.
I'm not sure why, exactly, but the video is funny.
Not because of David Caruso, of whom I've never been fond, but the dramatic scream just gets funny repetition.
