Tonight Boyfriend and I labored over some crossword puzzles. "Realm, 7 letters," it said. "Environ," I chose.
"Kingdom," he disagreed, shaking his head and overpowering my pencil.
I pointed out that "environ" is a much better word for "realm". They're both areas. He pointed out that he had spent his entire childhood reading sci-fi, where "realm" is practically synonymous with "kingdom". "And the people who make these games are 100% nerd, and nerds read science fiction," he said logically.
Fuck him, he was totally right.
1 down is ENABLE.
ReplyDeleteI fucking love crosswords. LOVE THEM. I bought the NYT Tuesday Crosswords and, sadly, was not able to complete all of them. And they're Tuesday level! The title was "Tea Time Tuesdays," as if it's what some person would do to unwind while drinking tea, and I'm sweating about them on my couch.
