My mom, a gamer??

My mom is officially addicted to video games!

While she is not playing any popular role-playing, action/adventure games in the market such as Diablo, Fallout, Resident Evil or Tomb Raider (although I'll admit it would be so cool if she does), she's fully immersed in Luxor,  Zuma and Shoot Bubble Deluxe and is quite good at them.

Giving myself a brain hemorrhage

Reading an old American literature written in the late 1800's, e.g. "The Red Badge of Courage", was a bit hard for me, not used to the way books were written back then as I tried to understand what I read. So I was, unwitting, beating myself in the head again when I try to read something written even earlier, in the 1850's, i.e. "Walden", which is way thicker than the previous book.
