I've been lookin' to the sky to save me

Lookin' for some kind of life

Lookin' for something to help me burn out bright

And it might have finally happened. After about 3 weeks of feeling just terrible, I might be coming out of it. Funny how a visit to the doctor's office can do that . . . of course, I don't think the doctor knows what's going on. I was prescribed about 5 kinds of medicine - of which I'm taking 3.

So, now that I'm coming back to life, I was thinking about these casual games that I've been playing. Specifically, the matching games like Bejeweled (2), which I downloaded from the xbox. I've got Chuzzle for the iPod, which is similar to Bejeweled, at least as far as the matching.

In this one, the jewels are instead fuzzy and colorful little creatures called Chuzzles, who are excited to burst into little clouds of furry fireworks when matched in groups of 3 or more. Sometimes, they'll even combine to make larger Chuzzles, or lock on the board to make it more difficult to make matches.

Then, there's PuzzleQuest, which I've been hitting hard lately. This funny little gem of a game includes the leveling-up and questing of an RPG with the substance of the casual gem matching game. Not only can you match gems, but matching skulls damages your opponent, and you can cast spells for added effects. Ok, the graphics aren't as flashy as Bejeweled, but the game is much more immersive.

And finally, the Fb game of Jungle Jewels tends to consume my time, mostly in 5 minute spurts (or less). Stupid coins!

There is just something therapeutic in virtually matching gems which fall from the sky in arbitrary fashion. At least, they've helped me get over the mental boredom that accompanies physical illness.

And I've learned that Chuzzles don't have pockets!

So I'm looking for a complication

Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly
