I didn't do most of those things last night.
I ended up finding and reading a couple of stories my ex-boss copied up for his Latin American book group... so now I've read my first Conrad and Borges, all in one week.
Watched some Gong Show on tape. Whew, love that show. Haven't seen the Clooney/Rockwell film yet, but Chuckiebaby is the only person I know who can make me crack up just via his use of the word "stuff."
We'll be right back.... with more...stuff
edit ps- I'm learning all of the national capitals in the world. I got very jealous of Mo Rocca getting all of those quizzed of him on the last year's Tom Green Show he was on. I don't care whether he went to Harvard or not, I won't let some damn comedian out-smart me.... damn it! This afternoon, I knew 72 capitals; by the end of the night (it was a slow night) I knew 90. I know all of the Western hemisphere except for the small islands... hold on- Belize....
Belpoman? If I got that right, then I know all of north central, and south America. Also, I know Haiti, Domican Republic, Cuba, Trinidad/Tobago... I'm weak on Africa, the -istan countries (although any fool knows Afghanistan and Pakistan nowadays)(Kabul and Islamabad, fool!) and the Pacific Islands but I'm trying to get to 100 by tomorrow night, and hopefully 120-130 in a few days...
There are about 190 countries. More or less, depending on what you call a country (ex. Vatican City, owned commonwealth territories, disputed lands, etc).
3/12 edit ps - Belize's capital is Belmopan. Ack, I was close.
