Just stumbled across Orson Scott Card’s website today, and it’s fantastic. It’s always such a surprise – but why should it be? – when the people who write books I like turn out to be people I like too. My favorite section is his ongoing column “Uncle Orson Reviews Everything”. His review of Pirates of the Caribbean has me desperate to see it, while his thoughts on marriage were quite illuminating. I never really thought about it that way.

We made our triumphant return at pub trivia tonight with a respectable fourth place finish (which netted us $10). I also won a free schooner of beer (for knowing which member of the “Friends” cast was first nominated for an Emmy) and a Black & Decker Toasted Sandwich Maker in the Joker Poker Draw. Go me! Okay, your questions for the day: Which six countries in the world have the highest Christian populations? Which three track & field events did women first participate in at the Sydney 2000 Olympics?
