Yuma meet nutshell

Tuesday night my feminine compatriot and I attended the documentary "Wordplay" at our local cinematheque. We didn't have to elbow anyone out of the way to get a good seat since WE WERE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE THEATRE! Apparently, a human Yuman requested that the movie be shown here and either this person has compromising pictures of people of consequence or Harkins Theatres can afford to just burn money because no one seemed the least bit interested in the movie. I'm not saying Yuma totally lacks culture - I'm just saying it gets closer to it every year.
However, the movie is a good one and worth seeing if you get a chance. Jon Stewart is funny in it, people who compete in crossworld puzzle tournaments are even nerdier than you thought people could actually be, and New York Times puzzle editor Will Shortz is pretty cool. Daniel Okrent, former public editor of The Times, author, raconteur and one of the founders of fantasy baseball (he called it rotisserie baseball) is also in it. He has kept a log of the time it takes him to complete the NYT crossword for years into the past because A) he is absolutely insane and B) he wants to chart the deterioration of his faculties. One of those explanations is actually true. Pick one and then choose your own adventure for the rest of this blog entry!

If you picked A: You were wrong. As a result, a boulder fell off a cliff and landed on your Yugo. You are stranded, so you can take your cyanide pill or try to scream for help. However, all you can see around you are the shadows of circling vultures who are roughly the size of train cars.

If you picked B: You're right and get to hang out at the club with Diddy and Danity Kane (whoever it is they are). However, there is no more blog because I have nothing else to say. This is why my numerous fan fiction choose your own adventure Manimal screenplays have not been published at www.manimalfanficadventure.com.

Keep cool!
