The set of five games I played on Tivo today were really depressing. GSN aired the old Master's series and I believe the boards were a lot harder than usual. I don't remember hitting pause even once during Friday's double jeopardy (I probably did, that was just my impression). Mom didn't keep score with me, because we had just done it on Friday for the previous weeks GSN games (I got a little behind over there). On the good side, I nailed every African Capital. On the embarrassing side, I really need to review my opera.
Of course it probably doesn't help that this was the third day in a row that I stood on my feet and hit the buzzer for five games straight. My brain feels like mush.
I was going to watch the Nature special on Longfish. At first I wasn't going to, but then there was a question on a longfish. But my friend called who I hadn't talked to for a couple of months, so I'll set the VCR to pick it up tomorrow night.
Still Reading: Cod. Down to the last chapter. I will probably finish it tonight.
Poem of the day: The British Library Reading Room, Louis MacNeice (weird synchronicity because he showed up with Auden by his side in Cod)
Almost perfectly memorized: All best actor Oscar Winners. Still a few wobbles in the 30's and Mr. Ronald Coleman (Mom may have helped with the OJ hint).
Watching: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Country Girl.
