Friday Five: 1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?My gut reaction is to say novels all the way, but in the last year or two I’ve developed a sudden taste for non-fiction.

My server had a crash today so don’t freak out if your comments get dated, say, in January. I’ll fix it. 🙂

A stunning victory was achived tonight at the pub trivia contest… by us! We had been trailing the leaders by four after the first round, but somehow in the end we were ahead by four.

Okay, so we watched “The Micheal Jackson Interview: The Footage You Weren’t Meant to See” last night. The tone of the show was set early when the host walked out and I groaned. “Who’s he?” asked the Snook. “Maury friggin’ Povich,” I answered. “He was Jerry Springer before Jerry Springer was Jerry Springer.” In other…

Sorry for the extended silence. We’re having some problems with our home net connection and I can’t post. (The nerdy explanation: Whenever we go to a page that requires HTTP authentication – i.e. a password – the proxy dies and we get locked out of the site for ten minutes.) So yeah, the Snook’s working…
