Well, the one event that's still on my lips after almost a week of it having occurred was winning $250 at my local pub trivia night. If you want to play a little Jeopardy, here's the answers: Althorpe Park, Najaf and Glandular Fever. Which lead me to my next not-so-debilitating dilemma - what to spend it on? Obviously it was going straight to the US and A fund, but a nice something to celebrate the chance of the win (as opposed to the "skill") was in order. Thanks to Shai, he alerted me that Readings, a local bookstore has hard-cover copies of my beloved Science and Sanity for sale at reasonable prices, unlike the tear-inducing exchange rate. (61AUc = $1USD, natch.) I have to go to work tomorrow. Isn't playing the work-for-money game just so damned fun?
Although, I do have to give credit to my tutor for shouting our class two rounds of tequila shots. That was awesome. Especially showing up half-pissed to the Buzz Birthday dinner. That was also cool. I guess last Thursday was just an all-round party for me...

Yay for winning!
There has been too big a gap between these words and your last words. I was, as they say, left hanging.
I have $250 owed to me, but when I get that back, it won't really have the same feel as your win.
But I did win a laptop once... and a widescreen monitor... and an Xbox... and I'm always getting free movie tickets.
I am pleased to see that there is no anger, and you are happy. I can sleep well.
Wow Stephen, that's awesome. How did you win all of that?
Basically, I know how to get my way... I know what people want to hear. So winning is easy; it's not about being creative or witty when it comes to those, "in 25 words or less," questions, it's about appealing to the lowest common denominator (in this case, the judges).
Bitchin'.
I have a venus fly trap, and I havve caught three flies to feed it. I'm on a roll.
Nice one...that's a little morbid though... :P
You'll have to teach me these techniques!
Nah... morbid is the fact that my friend asked me if I could make the plant grow really big; big enough to feed the traps mice.
I don't think that's possible. But I guess it's something to aspire to.
Now now... you have to buy me a drink before I reveal such intimate information like that...
Got any gossip?
