Dream Jeopardy Categories!

Wow, it’s been awhile since any of us blogged. Maybe we’re all just so busy living our incredibly exciting lives we just don’t have time? That’s what I’m going with.

This week we discussed our “Seven Dream Jeopardy Categories”. As usual, we stole this from a Douglas Coupland book. Sometimes I wonder if he might have a right to some of the royalties from my life. Well, he wouldn’t get much, that’s for sure. Here, Mr. Coupland, your brilliance helped me earn enough to pay my mortgage this year by keeping me from going insane which allowed me to continue working. Also, think of all the money I’ve saved in therapy or anti-depressants since your wonderful books replaced them quite nicely. Good luck getting your portion of that. You might also get a nice achievement plaque from my husband for his gratitude of your giving me something else to focus on when I feel bitchy.

Anyhow, we stole another Coupland idea. Big surprise. Specifically, the idea came from Microserfs, in which the main character tells us the other characters’ dream Jeopardy categories every time he describes someone new. We decided to pick Jeopardy categories based on things we like or things we know a lot about – even if we don’t necessarily like them. Just for fun, I’ve decided to post ours here. For anyone who was present this Tuesday Night, here we go:
