Curse you, everything except Virginia.

I've been remarkably consistent these past few weeks. Consistently bad, but consistent!

WEEK 37 — NO asterisk
179. Name The French Author. “I am making myself liable to articles 30 & 31 of the law of 29 July 1881 regarding the press, which make libel a punishable offense.”
180. Poetry & The Movies. Robert Lowell’s “For the Union Dead” honored the 54th Massachusetts, the infantry unit in this 1989 film that won 3 Oscars.
181. 19th Century American History. In 1832, by a narrow margin, this state’s legislature rejected considering abolition; a split was completed in 1863.
182. Jazz Classics. In one account, this song began as directions written out for composer Billy Strayhorn to Duke Ellington’s home in Harlem.
183. Around The USA. Astronomy buffs visit Idaho for the USA’s first dark sky reserve; oddly, part of it is this resort area with a bright name.

2/5

Too US-centric me this week - which I guess is fair for an American show. For the jazz one, I immediately started thinking 'Don't Get Around Much Any More' and couldn't move on from that.

Here's pathetic: Saber 0/5.

Sometimes that's me too. Since we've been doing this contest I have found out that I'm not as smart as I thought I was.  Very humbling.

Are we still officially doing this? I haven’t gotten the ‘your score has been tallied’ heart from saber in a couple of weeks.

If so , 1/5

If not, I can switch over to lying. I STILL HAVEN’T MISSED ONCE THIS SEASON.
