I briefly considered trying to respond in Interlac as well, but quickly decided I was too lazy to bother LOL

ROFL I downloaded the font. Responding was much quicker than translating.

Jane,

You know, until you commented in Sunday’s “General Commentary” blog, I never considered that you might know Interlac. You were already my favorite lesbian; now, you’ve escalated to “wishing-she-were-a-guy” status. How long have you had your Flight Ring?

I agree that blogging for The Mole has messed with my sense of capitalization. I’m in your boat - - I know what is technically correct, but I’m trying to follow the show’s lead in what to capitalize, hence, “The Mole” or “‘Selfless’ Team” or “Exemption” or “The Quiz“ or “Execution” (when referencing the ceremony) but “executed” (when referring to the state of a player’s status). Of course, the show itself has been wildly erratic, at times.

Shouldn’t the question be, “Was The Mole’s journal burned?” not, “Was The Mole’s journal burnt?”

I also had the same thought that “Midas Rush” was not possibly worth anywhere near $50,000. I forgot to mention it in my blog, and then I read where you had covered it in yours. I love how similarly we think. (I try to guess what your quote of the week is going to be each week. Having seven or eight entries a week gives me the luxury to use all of them that I love, but I have to guess yours. You never pick the one I think you’ll use, you seem to pick my favorite. Well, except for Nicole’s “I’m-a kill you in your sleep. I can do it and not leave any forensic evidence,” which has surpassed “favorite” status and become more of a “mantra.” LOL. My jaw hit the floor this week when you picked the “You’re mean in Argentina!” line. It’s the quote that made me love Mark and forgive him for his teary-eyed speech from the first week. I also really like him whispering “You liar!” to Craig, but had no idea how to blog the connotation.)

So, you loved Sunday’s “General Commentary,” huh? So, the attention to detail, the essays on Mole theory, the dissection of game play - - all meaningless - - but I write Japanese poetry about Alex’s penis and I get rave reviews? LOL. To be honest, I wish everyday could be “General Commentary” day, but it takes way too long, and (surprisingly) I only have so much to say. I toil Monday through Saturday to create a resource for everyone; Sunday is my day to cut loose and try to make you and Todd laugh. I actually think about both of you while blogging all week, so Sunday is my day to catch up and say hi and chat for a bit . . . just with more catty - - I mean, “witty” - - snark than game analysis really allows.

I know you are a daily faithful reader. My running the "Hidden Clues" blog first last week had nothing to do with the frequency of your (or Todd’s) postings. (At least both of you have posted. I can forgive my mother, who can’t program the clock on the VCR, for not commenting in the blog, but my friends have yet to comment.) No, that day, I was in a sassy mood because, after three weeks of slaving over the blog - - and gaining almost 1,000 viewers - - NO ONE, NOT ONE PERSON, sent a letter the previous week . . . until I discussed the hidden clues. Then, suddenly, I was inundated by, like, 300 messages that all said something like (and I quote from one letter): "ur wrong. kristin is to quiet. criag is teh mole. craig FOMO!" All of them sent by 14-year-olds (or Paul), and none of them having any backing evidence. So, I figured I'd get the "Hidden Clues" - - and the subsequent deluge of mail - - out of the way first, and then get down to entertaining you and Todd . . . and no one else, apparently. Well, my mom pretends to read, though she has yet to ask what a "package" is, so I‘m dubious. LOL.

I KNEW you'd get my Interlac reference, and I knew I'd entertain you with the coded message. Sadly, I AM dork enough to know how to write in Interlac. I used to have to read it letter-by-letter, but I've discovered that if I just relax, I can actually begin to "see the Matrix" and it just comes to me, zen-style.

Since you and Todd had already helped me lay the groundwork for today’s Interlac clue, I made the most of it, as I started "Operation: F--k the Little Bastard 14-Year-Olds," . . . er, I mean, um, "Operation: Kristen's Still The Mole."

I can't tell you how, but I did know that she was going to be executed last night (which is the only thing that prevented my complete mental meltdown), though I'm a little miffed that ABC has abandoned me to dance around the subject for two weeks while they air the Bachelorette finale next Monday.

Anyway, it'd been a while and I wanted to say hi. I hope you're having a great week.

P.S. Oh, thank you so much for sending Todd my way! He’s, like, the perfect guy - - right age, right height, loves Guster, Jason Mraz, and Björk, has similar taste in movies as I do, loves precisely the same TV shows I do, he reads, he loves comics and superheroes, he has a job, he’s Christian, he swears, he thinks I’m funny, he’s kinda cute, and he’s already come up with an adorably gay superhero name for me!

. . . Wait, what do you mean, “He’s not gay”?

Oh, this is some bullsh-t!

Ha ha,
G.G.

Hey, Jane,

I just posted a massive blog entry detailing the "Traveler" challenge with lots of extra behind-the-scenes details - - all for you. I hope you enjoy!

Love,

Oh, and I will get around to examining the Quiz questions that target only one player, sometime during this next "off" week. Thanks for the great idea!
