Besides answering some Trivial Pursuit questions from my mom today, and playing Jeopardy! on the Nintendo while I walked on the treadmill, I played 5 recent weekend episodes. I did consider playing them standing up to build my stamina, as was recommended my someone on the Jeopardy! message boards, but decided against it. After playing them in a row, I think it demanded stamina anyway.
Twice while I played I found myself saying to my mom, "Can you believe I answered that?" Things I never would've answered before studying for the Jeopardy! test in recent weeks. I came across two clues today (one on the Nintendo) that had to do with amendments: "What is the 22nd amendment?" and "What is bail?" (about the 8th amendment) I'm so proud, and I'm gonna keep it up.
Here are my Coryats:
originally 3-9-10: Shelby Sadler 13600 Becki Norris 3200 Vijay Balse 18200 Me 17600
(I see I played this game on my Jeopardy Challenger when it first aired.)
originally 3-11-10: Ryan Stander 16800 Leslie Sommer 7400 Cyd Musni 17000 Me 24200
(I blogged about this episode when it originally aired. It hit me when Cyd said, "Deo Volente" in response to a Daily Double. I remembered how that puzzled me at the time, and still kinda does.
I played the next three games on my Jeopardy Challenger, too, when they first aired.)
originally 3-23-10: Colin McClain 10200 Regina Robbins 18000 Kristian Zoerhoff 19200 Me 25800
originally 3-24-10: Derek Honore 16000 Tatiana Walton 11200 Regina Robbins 11600 Me 20400
originally 3-25-10: Sean Burns 11800 Susan Malmo 10400 Regina Robbins 10600 Me 18000
My Jeopardy! audition is Monday. And don't forget to watch Nicholas Condon on Jeopardy! that day!

Best wishes, Jeanie.
It's good to have a couple of decent responses to what you will do with pots of money if you win. You don't need a great answer, just good ones, and have two in case the person before you says what you were prepared to say. Pay off loans and buy a big TV are both good enough answers.
Reduce the funny stories about yourself to one sentence even if you think they are much funnier in two sentences.
Have you decided what to say about the blog? I say put it on the sheet, then don't mention it if Maggie doesn't ask.
I'm sure you will do well. The most important thing is to have fun; second is the chance for J! swag.
Thanks for the advice. I thought I would probably not mention the blog either out loud or on the paperwork. I've been concentrating so much on what to wear and of course studying that I am just now deciding what stories about me to write on the paperwork! I think I have some good ones now, though. My favorite right now is that I was at John Isner's epic Wimbledon match on its first day.
