I'll leave BeyondBalderdash commentary to the runner-up and winner. Matt and I brought up the rear of the game, and I think that's all I need to say. Except for the definition that Matt supplied for the word "yapok" -- how to say "yes" to Tupac Shakur. His weren't hard to figure out.
I just got home a little while ago from tutoring my first student, a freshman girl named Jessica. I was extremely, intensely nervous b/c I wasn't supplied with materials or assignments or subjects for that matter. Nothing. I went into it blind as a bat, but I think we did alright. I helped her out with her reading assignment, trying to get her to remember character names, plot points, and I even gave her a complimentary highlighter to use when she comes to a word she doesn't understand. Today we worked on "cataclysm" and "quaqmire". It was like half-making up stuff, and half-providing clues. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Tonight sends us to Champaign for the First Grade Crush show at the Highdive, starting at roughly 10pm. Someone else better drive, b/c I'm going to drink myself into a stupor ... maybe ... okay, okay .... probably not. I'll pretend that I really want to drink myself into a stupor. I'll drink water and pretend its wine, and recoil at the aftertaste. Do you think they make kegs of wine? I know they have barrels, but those are in wine cellars and wine makers' basements.
I took a Cipro today. Does only taking one make you anthrax proof? I found the bottle in my desk drawer stemming from a previous ailment, and there was only one left, so I figured I should take it just in case, you know? In case someone mails me or one of my roommates anthrax. I hope it works.
