I went to see Elemental last night. Not Pixar's best outing, but far from their worst (Good Dinosaur). It's sort of a hybrid Romeo & Juliet plus Zootopia, with . I enjoyed it, and the animation, of course, was gorgeous. I could stare at the Fire people for days.

That’s what happened to my brain. My first thought was “Replacements!” followed quickly by, “No, wait! It’s the other one — !”. Then Mayim gave the correct response.

I first said curling, because I love curling, but then I thought about the 45 sq ft part, and changed to ping pong. Like all the rest of you, I'm counting it as correct. Two asterisks in a row! Woo hoo! I also got the TS of courthouse, ciabatta, Jackie Robinson, food bank, birds, Christopher Wren (I'd have to give my Bachelor's degree back if I missed that!), library paste, Pitcairn, and Falklands. Tym reminded me a bit of Ted Allen -- only in appearance, though. Ted's demeanor is much better. Janie reminded me of someone too. I think it was Tina Yothers from Family Ties, but I'm not sure.

I use the mind blown button.

Instaget FJ for me tonight. I remember reading about it. Also, Dolly Parton is a treasure. Hooray for an asterisk to start the week! So many TS! Ones I got include ficus, muskox, American Samoa (after Guam was ruled incorrect), Montana, Croesus, nautical mile, Gen. Sherman, Duke of Wellington, and Oort cloud. Me, too! (No idea why this quoted the way it did.)

7. Food fight.

But commission is incorrect. It's committee.

If you're a weirdo, so am I!

I don't even own a dishwasher, and I don't wash my dishes every day. Of course, it's just me, and I don't use a lot of dishes in any given day, so there's no need. If I did own a dishwasher, it would probably take a week to fill it. I don't have that many dishes!

Could you make a cardboard model of a phone and set it in one of the chairs? Maybe people don't get what they're for.

I get that. I have a small house as well. The house across the street has a giant picture window in the front, and the people who lived there a few years ago had such a large TV that I could see it clearly from my front window.

It's almost like an acting class -- pretend there's music, and dance. Then, walk over here and pretend to talk to these people. Now go over here and pretend to talk about hair and makeup. Next, pretend to talk about this dress. The "conversations" she has are so fake-looking.

Oooh, I forgot about the asterisk I got -- so 4/5 this week with one asterisk.

Froderick Frahnkensteen. Ahem. New day, new peeve. I really hate it when I wake up within about 30 minutes of my alarm going off. It's not enough time for me to get back to sleep (especially if I need to pee), but it's too early to actually get up for real.

Virginia.

4/5 this week.

I also said Lake Champlain, then changed my mind, but could not bring Pontchartrain to my brain for anything. I doubt they would have accepted, "that really big lake in Louisiana that takes about 30 minutes to drive across," but that's all I had. I did get a few TS, though, including binary, bloodstone, prodigal, plethora, and Scottish Gaelic.

Same here. How do you pronounce it, @Leeds?

I was really confused! I learned a bit about baculoviruses in grad school back in the day, and blooming was not something I associated with them!

???

Instaget FJ, and I'm glad they accepted the abbreviation. I know what it stands for, but I didn't write it all out. I also got the TS of cock of the walk, Alice (guess!), Start Me Up, and guanaco. For the color of the Golden Gate Bridge, I knew orange, but just could not come up with the descriptor.

I am a total morning person. If I'm in bed past 7 am, it's a late morning. However, I also have all the insomnia, so that plays a part in the not sleeping late, too. When I was a kid, I wished I could sleep late (and stay up late the night before!) so I wouldn't have to get up and go to church.

Me, too!

I like the tiny chairs! FWIW, when I use a phone stand, I generally keep my phone in portrait mode, so that's perfect.

That was my favorite part of the whole game!
