Quiz time

It's been raining HARD over here the past few days. I can't do my washing cos there's no way it'll dry so I'm starting to recycle things. Hmm, how dirty can that T-shirt be anyway? Already I am sick of the cold and it's not even that cold yet. At least not compared to how cold it will be in a few months! Yesterday I fiddled with my TV to see if I could get any more channels on it. My neighbour upstairs has 13 channels and he doesn't even watch them. I only get 2 and they both suck. I did find 3 more channels eventually, including the NHK channel that some bloke tried to make me pay a fee for last month. He doesnt need to know that I can now watch it. So with my newfound channels I was able to escape the volleyball world champ re-runs and boat racing and watch a tops Charlie Sheen (or CHARLES SHEEN as he was credited at the end of the film) thriller about a firefighter hero type who goes a bit mental and tries to kill his neighbours. It was heaps funny, especially watching it in Japanese. In the evening I watched the quiz show that's always on Sundays. They get a group of celebs together and ask them school exam questions to see if they can pass. The maths ones are always heaps fun. This weeks was; a group of students numbering more than 15 but less than 30 sit in a circle and number off 1,2,3,4... the student who says 17 is the same student who says 59, how many students are there in the circle? 34% of primary school students got this right in their exam.

You only get a minute and a half to think about it by the way so be fair and admit if it takes you longer than that!

so very jealous of your weather!! the heat here is good, but some hard rain would be nice - not just for the garden and farmers, but for my sanity - i'm a water sign -water keeps me sane (i don't really give much credit to sign stuff, but i think there might be something there - strange, fire's also good for calming me down too (the camp fire type of fire)).
