“…she stopped paying close attention to his words and when at red lights, examined the rain drops spattering on the windshield so intently that she almost stared right through them. Each drop seemed stuck on the glass, until another drop landed on it and they rolled down the window together, ending in a climactic splash.”

The Fault in Our Stars was on Jeopardy just now!



The clue no one got on Jeopardy tonight: 

“Torchwood is a spinoff and an anagram of this BBC show.”



Currently at my cousin’s place around the corner, babysitting their sleeping baby. He’s so adorable, but I keep only seeing him after his bed time, so I don’t get to play with him!
So here I am taking advantage of borrowing a mac to use photobooth in the oddly yellow-lit living room. That lighting plus how the migration of some of my mascara/my end of day tiredness create glorious circles under my eyes equals me looking kind of weird, BUT SUCH IS LIFE.
Oh well—it’s time for final Jeopardy.

SWARTHMORE WAS A CLUE ON JEOPARDY! 

Or rather, it was the correct response, in the form of a question, in response to an answer. Whatever.

They wanted to know what Quaker-founded school Dukakis went to in Pennsylvania, AND IT WAS MY SCHOOL. Not the University of Pennsylvania, like one contestant guessed. 

Actually, none of them got it. Swarthmore is woefully unknown. 

Whatever: I also posted about this on facebook, and several people got excited about it, so I feel pretty good about this.



Tonight’s final Jeopardy was about Stamford connecting Holmes and Watson!
Four for you, Mike Stamford. You go, Mike Stamford.

ETA: Someone got a screenshot of the clue!
