Shooting stars and snaps

I did enjoy the Geminids meteor shower last night, sitting on a balcony and watching the dark sky with a cat in my lap. I saw several shooting stars, which streaked very quickly in short bursts across the sky. They were easy to miss, so I felt lucky to have seen the few I did.

I didn't have to set my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night to go look at them, as I stayed up until the middle of the night on my own. Wonder why? I became slightly obsessed and completely embroiled in attempting to figure out a game called Snaps. I found a link to this frustrating amusement when browsing the site of the soon-to-be-released movie P.S. I Love You. I wasn't been able to determine how it works (and thereby to have much success at playing it) last night, but I did solve it today. Want to try? You can play online here. See if you can figure it out without cheating (aka searching on the Internet for clues). Have fun!
