more stuffs

so merritt and i sat down last night with some nummy friend chicken and a few tivoed episodes of jeopardy. it's been so long since we'd watching it (or at least since i had seen it), but leave it to alex to bring it old school and give one backhanded compliment after another to the 4(?) time winner meredith (who reminded us of ellen page in a non-annoying sort of way). at one point, during the "getting to know you" segment of the show, meredith told a sweet little story about her dad -- he would work the tv antenna to pick up the signal of a station that aired jeopardy half an hour earlier, so he would see the show and known all the answers before everyone else.* "i bet he never missed a final jeopardy -- unlike his daughter" laughed mr. trebek (of course that's not a direct quote, but close enough). wtf alex.

and speaking of trivia -- anyone who tells you that that old tjikko in sweden is the oldest living tree can suck it. it's a clone-tree (and pando's and older clone-tree anyway), so methuselah is still the granddaddy of them all.

and one final note: all you wii owners out there need to get cubello and world of goo. and then never sleep again.


* note: watch out for jason roach, he watches the show at work before it airs and then knows all the answers too -- trickery i tell you!
