• It’s time for the final Hump Day Trivia of the summer! Here are the rules: I’ll give five questions in each of three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, and Hard). Each question is worth a set point value. Your goal is to use any combination of questions to get to ten points. I’ll declare the person with the most points the winner. If more than one person gets 10 points, I’ll go with the person who uses the “hardest” combination (So try to answer the Hard questions). Today’s theme is Sports. Good luck!

  I hung out with Chris on Monday. We went to Olive Garden, which is his favorite restaurant. Somehow the subject of Chris being in Iraq came up in conversation with the waitress. Later on the manager showed up and started talking to him about it. It turns out her son is still in Iraq. Anyways, because of that, we ended up getting dessert for free. After that, we went to Best Buy, where we each bought two CDs (I bought the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack and Weird Al Yankovic’s “Poodle Hat” CD), and then to Barnes & Noble, where I bought four more books, two of which were Clan Novels (White Wolf seems to be ending their World of Darkness series and slowly taking everything out of print, so I figure that I better grab them while I can). Then we hung out in the coffee shop until the store closed. It was fun. At least we finally got to talk for more than half an hour.
