yes! just answered a university challenge question. 2 in fact. they are as follows:
which part of the heart receives blood from the vena cava and pulmonary veins (or something like that)? the answer is atrium (to show my nerdiness, means "hallway" in latin.
the second question was: which band with singles called peaches and lump are named after the head of a country? the presidents of the united states of america
okay so they are my favourite band. i actually have a picture of me whenever this question was being asked.
and yes i did answer before the contestants did.

Had a dream about the 500 last night. I met a man who gave me lift in his delorean. However I just couldn't convince him to do 88mph. So frustrating! I woke up in a cold sweat screaming.

these are worrying times.

nothing but failure yesterday.
i tried to pull someones leg, which i did, but the photo didnt come out. before that, i tried to find some funny grafitti. i knew there was some in the toilets at queens, but when i went there it had all been painted over. later on i tried to do some knitting. i tried doing a bit of someone elses, but completely messed up. i also tried to take a picture of "Johnny's Kitchen" (the last one i need for that challenge) when i was on the bus, but there was a van in the way, and you can barely see the sign.
it was a bad day yesterday.

i fell down some stairs today. everyone had left the office, so it was my prime chance to do it. i somehow managed to use a plant stand to set the camera on in order to get a decent shot. i had a couple of failures. the stairs were rock solid, plus had metal bits at the edge. was scary as anything, and hence i had a few failed attempts. they all look pretty rubbish to be honest, but the did has been done. i did cut myself in the process - that must count for something.

Ak definitely deserves the 90 points for going the whole way to kenya!
The University Challenge photos are hilarious, you have the funniest expression ever. In terms of team Bob, i've finally found a protest rally to march in and I only need one more street name containing my name. Actually I'm gonna try and do a whole rake of stuff today, i'll update you later on.

What a day!
Today is my day off so I decided to devote it completely to the 500. First of all I went into town and the first thing I came across was a petition I could sign, woo hoo! The girl at the table probably thought I was mental if she saw me taking a photo of my signature. Next i headed off to the nearby lego store, a place of dreams! however my heart soon sank and I fell to the ground in tears when I realised that they had removed the big box of Lego you were allowed to play with. However the refreshing sunlight of banter was to shine on my countenance once more when I realised if I was sneaky enough there were other spare pieces at the back of the store I could use to build something very simple. I threw on my 500 thinking cap and quickly fashioned a rudimentary 'BoB' out of some yellow pieces. I took the photo and walked out of the store punching the air in victory! Next I headed to the park and found a sign to ignore. It said 'Please respect and enjoy these historic gardens'. So at once I set to doing just the opposite. I did my best to not respect anything, I even kicked a tree. And anyway I didn't enjoy the gardens because it was flippin baltic. I left the park an unhappy customer but with a few more precious points to my name. yessssssssssssssss. Next I hit the Co-op and bought a curly wurly, a chocolate bar that always reminds me off my childhhood. Soon I was home and I headed to the bathroom to wash my mouth out with soap, ewwww(harder than you think). Then I went to my room and drew my family tree. But to make it more interesting I followed the line of prestigious Robert James Robinson's and then went right the way down through the fascinating history of Robinson family pets. I also drew a picture and put it on me fridge. Don't know how many points I earned today, but my word it was fun! I think I'm going to write Lee a letter now and post it with the stamp upside down just to annoy him. I suggest you do the same team AK.

thats terrable terrable news to learn of your recient sucess team bob and i have mixed feelings about your upset stomach team JK but i too have had a good run of points collecting this weekend, i managed to feed the ducks, bake a cake, watch a chick flick, make orange juce, press flowers, smell the roses, juggle, pick up a penguin and wake up and smell the coffee so all in all is was a good weekend. It wasnt all good though i was let down by serious lack of knitting skills i thought i was a good idea to knit something while watching a chick flick just to get it out of the way but i couldnt split my consentration and my knitting slipped through my fingers, literly so i have a failure to add to my list aswell though if this ratio keeps up i will be sitting pretty rock on team ak
