there was quizzo at the bar last night, which we did horribly at, and only partially because of hockey. i've come to the tentative conclusion that being good at trivia games is less to do with what you actually know and more to do with having heard of everything at least once, and forming a vast network of weak associations*. to elaborate, i feel that my level of confidence upon generating an answer is only weakly correlated with whether the answer turns out to eventually be correct: the fatal questions are those where nothing at all comes to mind. more sporcle!
in other news, the sam adams oktoberfest is not half bad this year.
* speaking of which, i have 2 of the 4 corners of funny farm done, my major accomplishment of the year so far.
