We've found a new geeky obsession...i'm playing along with Who Wants to be a Millionaire on gsn.com. you can play along with the game on your computer while it's on the tv. it's even better if you're drinking wine while playing. mmm..wine...

holy crap....this is addictive. we're both yelling at the TV. the actual contestant's name is JIM. he's not the brightest bulb on the tree. He used a lifeline onthe 3rd question. crap...he's gonna lose soon. no, wait! he's making it! DAMMIT! i was doing great all the way up to the 125,000 dollar question, now i'm screwed. apparently i should have watched "tootsie", since that was the question i missed. who watched TOOTSIE??? really???? Dustin Hoffman dressed as a woman??? ugh.

(commercial break)

ok, time to try again...new game. i need to get 600,000 points so they'll put my name on the Top 10 list on TV.

here we go...the first few questions are always easy, and i feel like a certified genius.

wooo..LONDON FOG! corect! DIESEL! correct! MANICURE! correct! CROSS! correct!

LEWIS CARROLL! incorrect!

now Ellie and i are yelling at each other..she just told me the wrong answer and i clicked it...then she changed her mind! fight fight fight! this is why married couples fight...it's not about money or the house...it's because you gave the wrong answer on a gameshow. call dr. phil, here's the root of marital problems.

ok, got the next one right. FAVA BEANS AND CHIANTI! correct!

(commercial break)

What's an indian bread? NAAN! correct!

Who's Betty Shabazz's husband? MALCOLM X! correct!

What baseball hat does Magnum PI wear? TIGERS! correct!'

(i'm not gonna lie...i'm on a roll right now...we're on the big money questions now, $64,000, and this girl is killing me...she wasted two Lifelines and still guessed differently)

WHAT? it's 9pm and the game is over....now i have to go back to the drinking.
