I really need a haircut. But I hate getting haircuts. It's painful, sitting captive in a chair, surrounded by mirrors, being forced to or at least expected to make trivial small talk. There's something that rings slightly of a higher-tech psychological torture about the whole thing.
Speaking of trivia (I was -- I said "trivial" above), trivia tonight at T-Joe's. Reminder to self: check today's happenings in history on Wikipedia.
Considering attempting NaNoWriMo in November. Now all I need is a plot, some characters, a setting, and an attention span. No problem. Here are a couple candidates:
-- A writer goes to a ghost town in Western Australia to research a historical novel. Something interesting happens.
-- What happened in the lives of each of the characters in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks to bring them all to the diner that night. (12:01 pm - edit - never mind, not surprisingly this has been done before ... same idea, but based on a more obscure painting ... perhaps the woman in Hopper's Western Motel)

Yes, you need a haircut. And yes, you should do that Nanu-nanu thing.
But no, you don't need to do any research for trivia-I predict you will have twice as many people on your team tonight. (Just hope for lots of questions about Pokémon.)
Won't it be cheating then if Simon brings in his card album??
Oh, good point. Have you noticed the card album is the one thing he never forgets when he leaves the house?
Simon needs his cheat sheet? When we get together (yeah, I know, if it's at our place, it's not for the next eight months of winter) we'll have a Poke-showdown.
