I have gotten to the point of sheer stupid when it comes to needing input.

For example. I cannot play a game (think Candy Crush) without having something to listen to at the same time. I cannot listen to, say, a press conference or the news or an audiobook without having a game to play or something to otherwise occupy my fingers.

I have an Xbox account (free? Maybe? I've not paid anything and I don't think I'm attached to any family account the kids might have, I do, however, have a Microsoft account) and I play Sudoku a lot.

I noticed the other day that I have access to a bunch of games via Microsoftcasualgames.com . Like, uh Minesweeper. I will NOT play that. I mean, only a few times. Really.

But I also found Microsoft Jigsaw. I've been having loads of fun listening to the news, or whatever, and doing random Jigsaw Puzzles on the computer. These aren't too difficult (even at Grandmaster or whatever level) but challenging enough to keep my mind-fingers connections busy while my ear-mind connection focuses on whatever vibrations are hitting my ear drums.

Now if only MicrosoftCasualGames would bring back Chip, the best timewasting game ever! (As opposed to nethack the best game ever.)
