Our team won the pub quiz league last night! We are hardcore brains. And our prize? A CASE of Taittinger Champagne thankyou very much. Who knew pub quizzes could be so profitable? I mean, if you consider champagne a profit. Which I do.

In other nerdly pursuits, J and I are currently addicted to jigsawing. (Is that a verb?) We have a 1,000-piece jigsaw of Tower Bridge, (which GLOWS IN THE DARK) and it is completely engrossing. Last night I had to perform an intervention and forcibly remove jigsaw pieces from J’s hand and then order him to go to bed. We are so cool. I firmly maintain that all those people who spend their weekends clubbing and whatnot are just not self-confident enough to admit that they would rather be home doing a jigsaw.

And, just to complete the trifecta of nerdiness, I am pleased to admit that I will be going to see the new X Files movie on the day it opens, which is alas, ages away on August 1st. (HATE) But I will not be going to see it with all the other London Philes because they are going to the afternoon showing, and since it will be the first week of my new job I just don’t think I can take a day off to go see a movie. Even this movie.

I thought I was going to have to go on my own but bless Teabelly for stepping up and agreeing to go with me, even though she doesn’t particularly give a shit about The X Files. I started filling her in on the story so far the other day and she was all ‘Mulder was ABDUCTED? Scully had a BABY? And it was ADOPTED? And Mulder was given the DEATH PENALTY?’ and I was all ‘Dude, I know.’
