Trivia, Coors, and a New Camera

Trivia Champions. At last. Besting all the other teams, we outanswered the runners-up by a mere point - 276 against their 275 - after 4 rounds of grueling trivia. Questions like 'Who sang Cats in the Cradle?' and 'What French character married Celeste in an elaborate ceremony in 1931?' along with a movie bonus roundn in which we went a soul-crushing 10-out-of-10 boosted us to win our $55 in Rock Bottom money.

When we got home, Noah started talking about really wanting a Coors 24 ouncer, but that he couldn't find one anywhere. He said he just wanted to taste it. Seeing as it was only 10:45 on a Monday night (??), I suggested we try the 7-11 down the street. Sadly, they had no Coors. Not willing to settle for mediocrity in a Budweiser or Schlitz, we marched down Fairfax to the Giant in Virginia Square. Once again, no 6-packs. In fact, the only Coors they carried was a single 24-pack. Of course we bought it. Along with some Twizzlers. Now, I know you want this story to end with us killing the case after winning trivia, but I had been up since 3am, and Noah had worked all weekend, so we drank 2 or 3 a piece and called it a night.

We didn't however, call it a night without taking a few pictures with my new camera:





Here's a picture of a thirsty (Guinean) spider with good taste:



Lastly, my new camera is awesome. I snapped some photos of the George Washington Masonic Memorial Temple on my way home from work yesterday. Here's the temple with no zoom (click on the photos for a larger size):



Here's the temple at around 10x zoom:



18x zoom:



And lastly, after lowering the resolution from 8.1 megapixels to just 3, here's the temple at 28x optical zoom:
