Re #128: I'd love to give you a hand moving, ashke, but much as I'd
love to increase my moving karma I've got a con this weekend. :/

IHB- I had fun at Conor's trivia night last night with Syl and That
Guy. Although, there are some scary people, either way too much time
on their hands or they go to trivia night so often they have most of
the answers memorized. <grins>

Taekwondo class felt nice. Got out some pent up stress and am in a
slightly better mood than when I woke up.

Mark- initially it's based on team play. You pay $5 per team and get
your first answer sheet. They call out questions, you write your
answers. At the end of each category the answer sheets are collected
and new ones distributed. Points are added up and at the end prizes
are awarded. The second part involves people just shouting out the
answers- so it's possible that a couple people can get the answer at
the same time. Although, to be heard you have to be quite close to the
guy asking questions.

Is Dave still asking questions?
It was a lot of fun when we used to just shout out the answers.

Thanks Anne. I'd be up for that some time. How often do they do it, and is
there any limit on team size?

I'm not sure on the limit of team size, nor the name of the guy who
calls out questions.
Oh, but I do know that it's every Monday night.
The shouting it out part was okay... but certain people seemed to be
favorites with the question asker (and since they were right in front)
and they got heard more often than some others...

According to arborweb.com, the question guy is Geoff Cost, a local high school
english teacher.

<blinks> He's an English teacher? Heh... neat.
It was fun, as I said, but it doesn't wrap up until 11:00-11:30... so
those of us that have to work the next morning need to be prepared for
that.
Most of the questions were really obscure stuff, part of what made it
so entertaining. They also say that if you don't know the answer but
have a really creative one you still might get a point for it.

So I was in a meeting today, and had to sit for a good ten minutes trying to
keep a straight face while coworkers of mine discussed, quite seriously,
something or other called the "Master Patient Index". Without good diction.
(Hey, it's juvenile, but what can I say. :)

Heh, juvenile isn't always bad... <laughs>
So far work has been okay. I've been getting lots of little things
done, and I like feeling like I'm accomplishing something.

I'm tired. Extrememly. And last night, my computer is giving me grief. Lots
of grief. Here I am being nice, giving it a whole new hard drive, and it's
booting up slower than my mom's old 486 laptop. Damn Compaq, and damn me for
accepting one. My lovely Quantum Bigfoot TX is grunting, but I hope that I
can fix this thing. I stayed up until midnight trying to get it back up.
Why don't I just replace the bigfoot with the new lovely 30 GB harddrive?
Because my dvd software and others came preinstalled, so if you want them,
you have to have a hard drive the same size of the installed one. So my 30
gb would become 8gb, and then I'd be in the same fix as before. So suffer
shall I... I don't even want to think about installing the new network
card...that's the other treat for this evening.

(my hard drive crashed last night while editing music... *before* I
had a chance to begin my homework. I've been running Scandisk for DOS
since 3am [Windows wouldn't boot]. I *hate* having to approve every fix.
I missed all of my classes today. My show's pre-recorded, so I don't
have to worry about that, but, geez, I don't want to spend the rest of
the night running Scandisk to fix errors.)
(the funny thing is, the hard drive's partitioned. D: is fine; it's C:
that's hosed.)

Leslie and I woke up this morning and agreed to cancel out this weekend's
opera trip to Chicago. Last weekend we drove to Kalamazoo twice
for Leslie's rehearsals and performances, and next weekend Leslie
is driving to Muncie for a singing competition. We felt like we
needed some downtime, and this weekend's opera, Verdi's RIGOLETTO,
was the most expendable of this year's Chicago operas.

Yes, but we've seen it several times: most of the operas we go to
Chicago for, we've never seen before: Harbison's GREAT GATSBY,
Tchaikovsky's QUEEN OF SPADES, Janacek's JENUFA, Verdi's ATTILA.
In general, Chicago Lyric runs a much more adventurous program
than Michigan Opera Theatre in Detroit.
(And I should get back to reviews in the Opera item in the
Music/Classicalmusic conferences...)

My day has been fab, portabello panini rocks.
I've decided to get a turtle.
I have Friday off.
And I'm meeting with the music prof tonight.
Life is wonderful.
