Habits, not the nun kind either

Man, its been quite some time since I've written in the ole'blog. I'm actually killing a little time between studying and trivia night so I thought I plop some thoughts down. Wait, "trivia night" you ask? Well, every Tuesday night I've been going to a trivia contest night at one of the local watering holes. Its fun, interesting and cheap ($3) and I get to try and regurgitate some useless information.

I do like the format of the trivia night, the host keeps a random slew of topics and I usually help the team pretty well (ahem...I'm probably the MVP. My back usually get tired from CARRYING THE TEAM!). =)

Actually, we do decently most nights, though I really suck at the name that tune and music lyrics section. I would have to say that the music selection would fall under the category of "White People" music. Its a rare tune that he plays that I've actually heard more than once. But, I suppose its good that its somewhat obscure considering most of the patrons also fall under that category.

There are a sizable number of folks that play each week, I'd say roughly 50 to 60 with about 8-9 teams a night. We usually finish in the top half, coming in 3rd was our best showing. I consider this good seeing as our goal was just not to finish last. There are a couple teams that always finish at the top. Its teams made up of scientists and faculty. The best team harbors a gentleman with a handlebar mustache. I would put forth evidence that its very difficult to beat handlebar mustached man in a contest of trivial wit.


Shoot, doesn't this guy look like he knows what city Napoleon captured in the autumn of 1812. FYI, the answer is Moscow. Sadly, I knew that as well.

Oh well, hopefully we do well tonight again. Back to Habits...

So I was noticing the other day that I have a really bad habit of leaving cabinets and drawers open after I use them. This applies mainly to kitchen cabinets and drawers. Whenever I get a spoon or go and grab my peanut butter I tend to leave the drawer at least partially open. I have no idea when I developed this habit, since I'm sure there was a point in my life in the past where I actually would close the drawer fully.

I went into my kitchen and I had the whole six sense thing going on with a majority of the cabinetry open. I suppose now that I have really identified the problem I should be able to correct it. Hmm, may I'm just trying to be extremely efficient and by leaving the drawers open I can make it easier access for later. Does that explanation work for you folks?

Shoot, maybe it is a six sense thing...hmm, maybe if I keep doing it Mischa Barton will show up...




No, not that Mischa Barton...



That Mischa Barton...er, well without the longhaired douchebag in the trucker hat. Unless I was the longhaired douchebag.

But, I'm not really a fan of Mischa Barton, or think she's particularly hot or anything. I just couldn't think of any other ghost type lady right now.

Ok, I'd better get going, I don't want to the to start worrying without their star player. I'm sure you all appreiciate my modest and humility (truth be told, I'm only usually good for one or two answers).

More about habits when I get back...
