From Bill Simmon's blog...

Now I'm furious. That was Troy's fault. Everyone knows that football games have an "All right, this guy's playing like a wuss" trigger that activates something bad to happen. It's a distant cousin of the "No F------ Way Game," the game when you've won too many games in a row during a season, and the Play Station activates that "There's no f------ way you're winning this game" chip.

Heh...that used to happen to me all the time in NBA Live. 'cept we called it 'computer comeback mode'.

If Pudge goes to the Tigers, he DESERVES IT. And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

And the Bears just sealed me into buying the DirecTV football package next year, by naming a new offensive coordinator.

No more Shoop!

It feels like a spring day outside. Perfect day for baseball.

Too bad it's January. :(

I'm just going to sit here quietly.

CNN.com - 'Friends' cast faces coming finale - Jan. 14, 2004

I'm not going to say I'm 'glad' Friends is ending, because I don't watch it anymore so to me it has already been over for years. It's just that...it seems to me, when you're 22 (or whatever age they were supposed to have been at the start) and you act weird, it's ok. But when you're still acting the same weird way at 32 (or ten years later) THAT is a problem. A bunch of characters on this show are the same way that they were in the first episode, and Ross even degressed into a total idiot as the years went on.

update: at K'n'K they do NOT have ranch pringles. They have EVERY other kind though, including kinds I didn't even know existed.

How weird is that?

We're out of milk and juice so after work I'm going to Kash'n Karry. If I went to Target, I'd end up dropping $100. Seems like we can't walk in there without spending a hundred bucks. We just find more things we need there I guess.

At least at K'n'K they have ranch pringles and rold gold pretzel rods.

ESPN.com - MLB - Rocket lands in Houston: Clemens to join Astros

Oh...no.

I predict the Cubs will sign Greg Maddux.

Ok, so I ran (well, walked) the marathon and didn't die. No blisters, no nails falling off, no real intense pain. My feet are sore, which is to be expected. I'm a little sore in the legs, but not much. It was a fun time. Only thing that sucked was the WAY TOO EARLY start. They said we had to be there at 4am but the marathon didn't start until 6am. They should just say 'It starts at 6am. If you're not there, too bad for you.' if you ask me.

I had intended to walk one mile/run one mile, but in the beginning Court was severely slowed by bad shin splints after some jogging and I wasn't going to leave here. In the first 2.5 miles most people passed us. We walked quickly off and on and at one point I did run for a while (then waited for Court to catch up) because I had to break the stiffness I was getting (by walking without being able to really stretch my muscles by running). We both finished at around 4hrs. Not that great, but hey, we did it. I was intending to hit the gas at around mile 12 and just gun it the whole way until the end, but I thought it was more important that we finish together, and it was. It was a nice time together, and I'm glad we did it.

Going to bed now since we have to be AT the marathon starting place at 4AM tomorrow.

What a crock.

"Knights of the Old Republic" is like crack. CRACK, I tell you! It's almost 4am. Damn game.

We got our numbers and shirts for the marathon today. (Friday) We'll have to get up around this time on Sunday.

CNN.com - Bush to seek manned flights to moon, Mars - Jan. 9, 2004

WOO HOO!

Michelle landed safely this morning. I stayed (by the sidelines) until she made it through the security scanner, just to make sure nothing happened. I almost forgot to hug her and say goodbye since I had to leave the line at a certain point because I didn't have a boarding pass.

I hope she had a good time. We both enjoyed having her.

I used to give the married guys at work (everybody) crap whenever they'd say they forget to charge their phones/pagers/whatever. I'd tell them to just plug them in before bed and it'll never go dead. They'd claim they had other things to worry about.

Yeah, so, now my phone dies all the time, because I forget to charge it. Same with the pager.

Leave me alone.

Happy New Year! We're off to Sea World today.
