Sunday: April 12, 2009 - Easter 12 of 12
12:00pm: I forgot it was 12 of 12 or else I would have taken a picture of when I woke up...which was like 11am. Oops. Now you'll have to settle for another Breakfast of Champions picture.
12:30pm: Picking out a nice cake to bring to Briecca's for Easter.
1:00pm: Rifling through the second season of Weeds. I wrongfully assumed every season would be on Neflix Instant or I would have rationed a little bit better.
2:30pm: Chompy being rudely disturbed from her mid-afternoon nap.
2:45pm: On my out to Sterling I'm reminded that DC has the best springtime ever. Take that, Springtime Tallahassee.
3:30pm: I forgot to pull off my tape before leaving so I came back in to do it. The piece is coming along nicely.
4:00pm: Here's my backlog of National Geographics that I'd been waiting for three months to get. I guess I can stop calling to complain now.
4:15pm: Looking good. I have the pink shirt on and it only comes out of the closet on Easter.
5:15pm: Brieccooty making deviled eggs. There were no deviled Cadbury Cream Eggs.
7pm: After dinner we walked to CVS through the bowels of Sterling to get Easter candy. All we found was this weird pig balloon, which might have been the weirdest thing I've ever touched. Ok, that's not true but it was still pretty weird.
10pm: Feeling the pangs of anxiety as closer Kevin Gregg warms up. MARMOL was already out of the game at this point. Gregg only gave up one run in the 9th and for him that's really good.
11:00pm: Chompy patiently waiting to go out while the Cubs game ends.
BONUS: Brian playing with Booty. We noticed that we've spent our last three 12 of 12s together.

09-07-2009: I'll start with the good news: my death from the swine flu is no longer imminent. Now, onto the bad news.
WHERE THE HELL WAS FSU'S DEFENSE?! *I* could have been playing cornerback last night. I can easily ignore receivers as the blow past me or trip on my own two feet as a RUNNING BACK shoots past me for a catch in the end zone. Uggggggggh. On the bright side, the offense looked pretty good--at least Christian Ponder and the vaunted offensive line. The running game looked anemic when Jermaine was in there but his backup looked like a punisher. The fact our receivers c(w)ouldn't catch the ball made life rough. Fortson looked like the only guy who actually was willing to take one for the team and try to catch it, although Richard Goodman's catch on the two-point conversion ended with him getting blasted.
Anyway, where was the bloodthirsty FSU defense? Who were these cowards playing constant zone coverage? It doesn't take a PS2 NCAA Football expert very long to realize there's a time and a place for zone but if you want to win you need to MAN UP. Granted, the man coverage, when "utilized", made the secondary look absolutely stupid, with their coverage at least five yards behind the Miami receivers.
Whatever, we'll be good next year.09-07-2008: It looks like my vice-like grip over NCAA Pick 'Em is officially over. After tweaking "the algorithm" I still finished near the bottom of the picks because I clearly overweighed the section dedicated to "do they like to get upset?". The numbers correctly picked the ECU upset of WV but unfortunately they also picked three more upsets and, knowing that no more than three teams ever get upset in a week, I released WV out of a personal affinity towards the school. I also, until the game started, thought USM was in fact Mississippi State which they are clearly not. Oops.
I went out to Virginia to watch the FSU game with Kathy & Co. The bar had a lot of FSU fans but none that were particularly into the game. It didn't help that there was over two hours in combined rain delays. FSU looked good but I think anyone would look good against Western Carolina. They're not East Carolina, that's for sure. Catamounts, for the record, are mountain lions. They are not horses despite containing the word "mount". We'll know for sure how good FSU is when vaunted Chattanooga rolls into town next week. I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-07-2006: Although not as gratifying as some wins in the past, I was able to fend off tchris and jamie in a little three-way poker last night. At different points in the night we all had huge chip leads and somehow blew them. We're all big bettors so it was a lot of fun despite the low number of people.
I really need a new computer. Mine shuts off after about five minutes of use due to overheating and I still have not been able to find the right replacement fan. I'm hoping by the week after my birthday to have enough money to buy the new one from Dell, even though they won't let me get it without the video card. I talked to their retarded sales/tech guy and asked them simply if they could not charge/install a video card. They do not have dual-monitor options and I wasn't ordering any monitors so I didn't need the card. He replied that they could not and I was out of luck. I replied by asking him if the computers were really built by hand like they say in the commercials. He said yes. I then asked if they guy installing it could just "leave out" the video card (I'd be throwing it out the day I got it) and have the person hand-writing my bill leave off the cost of it. He said no. Oh well.
