As I mentioned, I've been doing a bit of studying for the upcoming appearance on "Game Show!" Now that I'm making an active effort to remember things I learn, they're actually sticking, and it's strange to experience the connections that pop up, unbidden, in my head as I encounter information. For example, this evening I heard someone use the name "Augustus" and I thought:
Octavian... Part of Second Triumvirate with Lepidus and Mark Anthony... Antony and Cleopatra... Cleopatra VII... "worm of Nilus"...
I feel like the guy in A Beautiful Mind! You know... whatisname.

For the aspiring Dork King, there's always next year...
I'm like that, but with bad song lyrics. I'll hear a bit of one, and have to recite the rest of it my head. Too bad there's no way to make money off of my kind of knowledge.
