Yes, I’m a nerd.
I have very little to report today. Still very busy around the office, which makes me feel frazzled and hectic. Also, all I’m thinking about are things having to do with work, which are 1. not interesting to blog readers; and 2. not interesting in general. The good news is that it’s 65 degrees and sunny out. The bad news is that the sun blares into my office, through the windows, and right into my face. Good times!
Yesterday I checked my Yahoo! email for the first time in three months. A piece of advice for those of you who use free email services towards which to shunt all your spam: might be a good idea to check it once in a blue moon before you have thousands of messages to sort through. Because interspersed amongst the spam are actual email messages that you might need. It was a joy to wade through.
Last night’s Jeopardy! episode was a difficult one. The final Jeopardy! question is always a good one, I love it when they announce the category and it’s super vague, causing the contestants to wager big money, and then they get it wrong and their spirits are crushed. Last night’s category was “the sea,” which could not possibly be more vague, and the question was wicked difficult. Two of the contestants bombed hard. It was an exciting game! I am totally going to get this and play it whenever possible. Yes, I’m a nerd.
Otherwise, I didn’t really sleep much this week so last night I conked out. It was good, and I’m refreshed today. I’m sure you’re all glad to hear it. And this concludes today’s lame-ass post. Thank goodness.

Did I ever tell you about the time I had a tryout spot lined up for College Jeopardy when I was at UNH, but my then-wife convinced me it was a good idea to instead drop out of school and move to Iowa?
No?
Huh.
So what was the question about the sea?

DANG! You never told me that story. You would have done well, you have a lot of useless trivia knocking around in your head.
Um, the sea question. I’m paraphrasing: “There are three proprietary seas on the earth, name the one that is located east of Iceland.”
And no, I can’t remember the names of the other two proprietary seas.

I forgot to mention that I used to have the Jeopardy! computer game for my old LC3. I had that computer from when I went to college in 1993 until I retired it in 2000, and an old boyfriend gave me the Jeopardy! game one year for my birthday. I loved playing that game. Fortunately you can now play it online. I heart the intarwebs.
