Today's Stream of Consciousness Sunday is themeless, so free-write on any subject for five minutes (no editing) to link up with Jana's Thinking Place.
8:24 In preparation for my Jeopardy! tryout in early September, I read about American history last night. I think the Portuguese got into my dreams a little bit. The book I read confirmed what I already believed - that Portugal was the nation that actually instigated the slave trade, even though Spain and England quickly piled on.
8:26 My head is so filled with facts that I feel like my creativity been's pushed to the side lately. I did complete an essay yesterday.
Thanks to my studies, I can tell you that Michel de Montaigne is the individual who popularized the essay as an art form. There's a shout-out to de Montaigne in "Bitches in Bookshops."
8:28 My husband is making me laugh. I'm so grateful for him and his sense of humor. I was pretty sad yesterday, thanks to a combination of hormones and the ongoing drama with my brother.
8:29 Ugh - don't get me started on the drama with my brother. I will say this, though: according to the Geek Zodiac, my nieces are Spy and Ninja. These zodiac signs fit them perfectly.
I got Pirate - but I don't wanna be a pirate! I like the ocean and rum, but I detest thieves.

Your mind works just like mine...changes topics, wanders along tangents...every minute or so. Good luck with your try out then make sure to do a SOCS to let us know WHEN you'll be on!
LOL, your brain is very busy! I've been wanting to brush up on my history too (but not for as awesome a reason as a Jeopardy try-out!). Keep us posted on your progress - good luck!
I might have to do that next time - check the time when I write and see where I'm at. I'm glad you're laughing with your husband. :) Laughter is good stuff!
I was also still very tired this morning.
Oh, I love this! So funny!! My brain works just like that!
I loved your SOC words. I could feel them. Hell, they could have been written by me except for the part about Jeopardy. I met a Ukrainian young lady last week and I so wanted to talk to her about Yulia Tymeshenko but I was sure I had Yulia's name or country wrong because my brain can only take so much info! Sure enough, I should've just said the name! Yulia Tymeshenko! Yulia Tymeshenko! Yulia Tymeshenko! (Read my SOCSunday writing if you don't know who she is, LOL)
Oooh, this was super fun to read! I never was a big fan of reading tons of history, though. Shame on me!
