Late Sunday
Just finished transcribing Mac file sheet #160 into my trivia archives. I had to tweak some old questions, refurbish or update others, contemporize still others--I changed a 'Frasier' question because I had a feeling no one would know who did the traffic reports at his radio station (Chopper Dave), so I put in a 'Two and a Half Men' question--and throw some other questions out completely, due to the question just being poor quality, or not being able to confirm the answer.
I found a decent website with about 2,000 questions to choose from. They're at about the right difficulty level, so I have to bookmark it until I'm done stripmining it.
Today, I got the kitchen stove and counters cleaned, swept the kitchen floor, did the dishes, and shoveled off the breakfast bar. I also made #2 son some Rice Krispies Treats, sans PB, and kicked his @$$ in four games of Scrabble. Then I entertained my niece for a short time before Spouse could spell me from that duty, wrote about a page of questions, continued stripmining question fodder from a book I bought recently, crashed on my bed a while (with a great breeze from my open window--it was a gorgeous 75 here today), and now I am back to question-writing, while checking the end of 'Thunderball' on BBC America (I love this network--but when's 'Torchwood' coming back?).
Someone mentioned to me that I should either write a book or make a game or something with all the questions I've written (12,000+ would be a decent estimate). I would, but I'd need a hook to make the book/game unique...otherwise, it's just like all the other books out there in that particular genre.
Snack du noir: PB sammy, with a Rice Krispies Treat chaser. Damn, I make those well.
Gotta enjoy this day off...last one for a month, until Presidents' Day.
