What's the haps?

Just got back from a Jeopardy! contestant in-person audition in DC.  It's the second time I've done it, and I think it went pretty well!  Won't know if I've made the show or not for at least several more months. 

Anyone wanna fill a poor Scot (as if theres any other kind, amirite) in?

(I choose to ignore the recent... Scotgasm?)

Jeopardy! is a popular American quiz show.  American quiz shows are almost always easier than British ones, but Jeopardy is a moderate difficulty and a pretty good payout if you win.  It was the second time I've qualified for a live audition.

Jeopardy! also had a fucking computer compete against mere mortals.


All hail our machine overloads

Holy cow, spread out a bit, huh?? :O
It's good you saw them. :)
Family seems most often to be the most withstanding relationship (blood > water).

Exams and sick.  I got hit by a triple whammy (flu, ear infection, soar throat -- the last I hate because I find it helps to say what I read).  I've been doing better, but my time each day is limited because I gotta sleep.  I'm fucked.

I got Colors 3D.  Adore it.  Been a nice break when reading starts making me drool at the mouth. x(

Hope you get into Jeopardy and get enough wins to break Ken Jennings' record

There has been two (mini?) Earthquakes here in Chile... it has been two years since the last real big Earthquake.

There's also some guy on TV that predicted these new Earthquakes and people is going crazy over that. You know, good times. :|

^Remember this? Well, last night there was a quite strong Earthquake. Pretty annoying but everything is fine.

It is a bit strange not having family around though communication has advanced so much that it's easier then it would have been. Your illness sounds horrible, hope you get over it.

The ladies in my group are concerned about a burn on one of their arms, It's like nothing but a patch of red which i mentioned looks like Africa, it really really does look like Africa.

I *might* have landed myself a teaching job in Toronto for the summer from July-Sept.

Same rent I'm paying here but an actual decent salary!

Oh god I hope it works out.

I'm clean
