Last night was the Biz Bee, Fairbanks' corporate spelling bee to raise money for the Literacy Council, in which representatives of local businesses ... make complete fools of themselves onstage while failing to spell easy words. I mean, compete for charity! Yeah! Anyway, the News-Miner sponsors it and this was my third year as one of the three people representing us on our team. This was probably our worst showing ever ... we wiped out on a relatively easy word ("deterrence" ... we were kicking ourselves afterward) and didn't even get to the really awful words like "agathokakological". This is also the first year I booked out after losing instead of staying all through the evening to help clean up at the end, but it has been a Very Trying Week and I just needed to go home, watch the next DVD ep of Dead Like Me with Orion and go to bed...

I'm still wearing bright red fingernail polish ... our team name was The Love Bugs (bee, bug, get it, hahahaha ... okay, not very funny, but we thought so) and we were all dressed up like very tasteful harlots. Since I never wear polish, it's kind of cool to look down and see it on my fingers as I type. I think I might leave it on and wear it to work today.
