1. awning
2. zucchini
3. pisco
4. cromlech
5. dithyramb (spelled it wrong)
6. tauromachy
7. rhabdomancy
8. tsuga (i didn’t know it but I followed the other lady’s lead)
9. cosymmedian (when we unsuccessfully spelled the first 5 letters one at a time, i conceded)

I stopped the madness by saying “I WILL TAKE THE DRINK TICKET INSTEAD OF THE GIFT CERTIFICATE” but the lady thought i was pretty cool and gave me the gift certificate afterwards and I gave her the drink ticket. So… we were 2nd and 3rd, whichever you’d like me to be this week.

I also got a banana Tootsie Roll Pop from grandfather, which is weird. I bet it’s gross.

in round 3,spelling bee

1. perfection
2. magnificent
3. cantaloupe (spelled it wrong)

I’m happy that I went, and next week it will be at 6:30 so I can start going again normally, but I did not do a great job this time. I recognized an unhealthy pattern in my choice of words, and hopefully that will get me back on the right track. Also maybe I should study.

MAN, it is painful to have to keep spelling after you get so many wrong. I ended up in 3rd place. Robert was once again victorious, good job Robert.

The guy from Everclear was there, which was slightly surreal like a boring dream. I got 3rd place and a drink ticket.

in 3rd place,everclear,nahuatl,spelling bee

Once upon a time You Look Nice Today, greatest podcast on the planet that they never update anymore but it’s okay I still love them, had a podcast called “The Good Part” in which they explain the modern problem of loving a song and wanting your loved ones to love the part you love while trying to keep their attention until the good part comes up. By just making a clip of the ‘good part,’ you can bypass this inconvenience of modern times and my brain thought it was a good experiment to try out, by way of re-introducing myself to GarageBand.
