Sitting up and thinking in bed

So I've really gotten into this English show, "QI". Pronounced "Q...I...". It is a fantastically funny show that is mainly about having an intellectual conversation but also having a laugh at the same time. I highly recommend it.

Had a nice dinner with a girl tonight. Helped make hamburgers then sat and talked for over and hour...probably two. Three beers and a hamburger with lettuce, tomatoes and avacado. She's a very cool chic/girl/nerd/geek. I had a wonderful time just talking and listening. Mostly listening. It was nice to listen. I only interject when I have something to say. And she knew when to listen. That was pretty fun. Now I have to see how geeky she really is and read her blog.

This seems more like a "Dear Diary" entry than a blog...but what are blogs really anyway? It's and electronic "Dear Diary".

Anyhow, "QI" is addictive and you will learn something as well. How many television shows do that nowadays?

Eureka!

Here's is the argument to end all arguments about REAL football(the style that is played with the feet) versus American football(which is played with the hands).
Which is harder? REAL football...take a kickoff in American football. Basically a guy runs down the field with the ball in his hand and dodges eleven other guys, who are being blocked off. Just to run across a line the is around 55 yards wide. Ok. It's hard to do, yes. Now try doing that with just your feet. And the opposition can't be blocked off. And the line that the ball needs to cross is only eight meters wide and 8 feet high. And it's guarded by a goalie who can use their hands. And their are virtually no pads.
