THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED THIS WEEK:
- Everyone at work has suddenly noticed we have a website. I am covered up.
- I played pretty good poker, and had a drink bought for me.
- Discovered that Boot Camp (Boot Camp! BOOT CAMP!) is working, so now I must continue.
HIGGINS RECOMMENDS:
- Kung Fu Panda. Excellent cartoon movie, and also kind of a kick-ass kung fu movie.
- Appetite for Destruction. Found it in the CD stacks this week; that shit holds up.
- Felix Mendellsohn. Sexy as Beethoven with more strings.
- Smart Ones Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 170 calories sundaes.
So I went out to California with my sister in November to film her appearance on Jeopardy! While she is way smarter than 85% of the people in the world, she did not win because that Punk-Ass Matt made the most counter intuitive bet I have ever seen. Good strategy, terrible person. Her Final Jeopardy question was so hard someone stood in a room full of people and offered five cash dollars and a blow job to the person who got it right, with no fear of having to follow through. I mean, my God, of course, you're just going to slap your forehead, I was gonna say Uzbehkistan! Sheez.
THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT JEOPARDY! NOW:
- They play right in a row with only a five or ten minute break, so whenever you see someone who has won three or four games, he has been playing all day.
- Alex is a nice dork who likes funny voices. Johnny Gilbert has had a little work done.
- We hate that Punk-Ass Matt.
It was fun to be with my sister in California, though. Made me feel very cosmopolitan.
Then on the way back, I had trouble with my puddle jump. Its too long a story to tell (and it still makes me mad), but they sent me to the wrong place in Hartsfield so instead of not going through security at all in Atlanta I went through a full search, like where they put you in a clear box in the middle of everybody and touch your underwire and open up every compartment in your handbag. They probably thought I was flight risk because by that point I was pale and weeping with rage. Too be honest with you, I'm still not quite over it. I was piiissssed when we got to Athens; its so for the best that my rep wasn't at the airport when I got in. Now the two carriers here are in a bitter fight to the death, so I believe they might be out of business before I can redeem the free flight I made them give me with my written apology.
So that's that story. Are you impressed that I actually posted this Thursday?
