I am also going to post the current stats of all the Trivia Corners and update it after each Trivia Corner posting. This way you can all compete for the top spot. I still haven't figured out the prize for the winner or how many you need to get right. I kind of forgot about it. I'm open to suggestions.

House Hunting

My new favorite show to watch is 'House Hunters' on the Home and Garden channel (HGTV). The show has a very basic premise, either a couple or a single person is looking for a house, apartment, or condo to purchase and move into. The buyers usually look at a lot of homes before making their final decision but HGTV only shows you the 3 best selections.

The reason I like this show is because I picture buying my first house with my fiance Nicole. Hopefully, by that time it will by Mrs. Scully. Right now we are still both living at home trying to find a way to live together. The problem is I don't have a good paying job for us to afford an apartment so we are stuck in limbo for the time being. We have been engaged for 4 months already and I all I want is to be able to come home from work or school and be with her at our own place. Preferably to some dinner.

I did move out at one point but it was with the wrong person, things didn't work out and I had to move back home for financial reasons. It has been over 2 years since I moved back home and it's time to leave again, with Nicole at my side of course. One of the things I hate the most about not living together is falling asleep together at night just to wake up in an hour or two to go home. I can't wait til the time when we can fall asleep together in our own bed and wake up together in our own bed.

Watching 'House Hunters' gets me excited about our future but it also makes me kind of sad because I can't have that just yet. I would love to be able to buy a house instead of moving into an apartment, it's definitely more cost efficient but that takes time and saving. We need to get an apartment first just so we can get out of our parents' houses and start our future.

My ultimate goal is to make Nicole happy. To be able to provide for her, support her and give her the life she wants. I would do anything to be able to get a place with her right now. We already bought some dishes, glasses and towels for the place we don't have yet. I can just imagine the look in her eyes when I can make our dreams come true.

This stupid recession is putting a damper on our plans. Damn you George Bush!!

Q & A: Answers

Here are the Q & A questions and responses from last week. I had fun with this idea. I will do more Q & A posts in the future. If you want to know what they answered to my question check out the comments under the original Q & A post. Thanks for playing.

Jerry: If you were to die today, what is the one thing you would want to do? This is a tough question to answer, so many options. I can answer this question seriously or humorously. I’m going to combine the two. I have always wanted to go skydiving so I would want to do that but naked.

T.S. Hendrik: If you had to invent a sport out of two existing sports, what would they be, and what position would you play? I love this question, it’s so creative and original. I would combine the olympic luge and bowling. I think there would be only one position, helmet optional.

ASBLACKASOBAMA: If you could meet your idol, who would you meet and where would you meet him or her? My idol is Bob Barker and I would meet him on The Price is Right, of course but I would have to travel back through time to when he was still the host.

Trivia Corner #8 Answer

A pork butcher. The name is derived from kellen ("to kill" in Old English) plus hog. I was thinking something with cereal.

Movies Inc.

I have incorporated my love for movies and my love for board games and created a kick ass movie game. I call it….. well, it doesn’t have a name yet. We will just call it The Movie Game. I was bored at work one day and was playing the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game in my head when I developed this idea. I told my buddy at work about it and we played it almost every day at work for weeks until we couldn’t think of anymore movies. I would say that it is a spin-off of the Kevin Bacon game. I should probably tell you how to play now.

To start I give you 2 movies. The object of the game is to think of another movie that you can link to the movies I gave you by using the actors/actresses. For example if I said link Independence Day to U.S. Marshalls, the answer would be Men In Black. Will Smith is in Independence day and Tommy Lee Jones is in U.S. Marshalls and they are both in Men In Black. Sometimes there is more than one answer This was an easy one. Understand how to play now? Great!

Let’s have some fun. Here are 3 questions, one easy, one medium and one hard. Are you the movie buff you think you are?

Easy. Link: Swordfish to National Treasure

Medium. Link: Dumb and Dumber to High Fidelity

Hard. Link: There's Something About Mary to Cliffhanger
