We didn’t do so well at Trivia Night last night. We tried to nab a couple of folks for our table as they came in the door but they were already meeting a team. The table beside us were a fun bunch and it seemed like they might be expecting more than the allowable six members. We told them we’d be happy to take their overflow; two folks joined us so we were a team of four.

We were out of the gate running and had a good first round. Not good enough to make the top three, but we knew we had to be in the top five. The second round was a disaster – we struggled with matching Olympic years to the cities they were held in, and we didn’t do well on a couple of questions regarding musical instruments. We did better than we have ever done in the musical category though thanks to the other two members of the team.

In the end we didn’t place anywhere near the top, but we did mark the sheet of the table who won third prize, and we were sitting beside the table who won first prize. Obviously they gave us their weakest team members! It was a lot of fun and we met some new people. And I discovered a new drink – a London Fog is like a vanilla latte but made with Earl Grey tea rather than coffee.

I went to bed with the intention of making some progress on my book – it’s due back at the library in another week. It was two in the morning before I reached the end of a section and turned the light out. It’s a good thing there was nothing on the schedule for today other than garbage and recycle. I got both rooms in my studio tidied so that alone counts for a good days work. I have a Guild demo tomorrow night and I got my prep work done for that.

The Cinematheque Series starts tonight so we’ll be off to the movies – again!
