caught wicked again with missi on friday night. teal wicks who plays elpheba was awesome. the woman who played g(a)linda wasn't as good as the one we saw the first time (laura woyasz). all in all, its a bit troublesome that i knew all the words.

the next day i planned to run 24 miles. didn't happen. i got umm...10 in? the marathon in 3 weeks is gonna hurt. really bad.

to compound my not running enough, kevin and i hung out for the az game. we drank jager bombs. we ate fried chicken. we ate nachos. then we proceeded to take turns slapping one another in the face to see if that would help us sober up. not sure if it worked.

and sunday, i was just useless. utterly useless. it takes me over 24 hours to recover from drinking. i didn't leave the house the whole day. didn't work out, didn't see the sun. had two fantasy basketball drafts and watched way too much football. i don't even know if i brushed my teeth or showered.

on the bright side, i got an A on my project management midterm last week!

what is everyone upto for halloween?

omg hsm3 comes out tonight! lolz! (yes thats sarcasm. and yes, i could pretend that i'm not going to watch it on the big screen but you know me better than that.)

what have i been upto...ran the 10 mile race at hb. ran it in about 1:13:30 which is about 7:20 pace.

had a midterm in pm. got the midterm at 7pm and it was due the next day at noon. prior notice would have been nice. had to use a half day of vacation time to work on it. was able to submit the 9 page exam at 11:50am.

tonight watching wicked.

tomorrow running 24 miles.

beat the wildcats! (the arizona football team, not the hsm3 high school basketball team).

great season dodgers!

BEAT THE COUGARS!

thoughts on heroes so far? i've heard everything from thrilling to clusterf*ck when describing season 3. i'm still not sure what i think, but its still good tv and i'm still hooked.

got my new computer. its online. it was tough going that week without the internet at home! now is the toughie...restoring all my old files and programs.

i'm so used to automated bill payments. the only thing i didnt have automated was my car insurance and registration. turns out, i had forgotten to pay my car insurance for a month. i drove for a whole month uninsured! luckily i caught it but i had to change insurance companies. at least now its automated so i'll never have to go through that again. i hope.

(MyFantasyLeague.com Fantasy Times Sources - Oct 13, 2008) In a week 6 Pound 4 Pound rivalry, Brazilian Treasures beat a strong nerds team by a score of 73.1 to 60.1, extending the winning streak for Brazilian Treasures to 3 games.

Brazilian Treasures were led to their 13.0 point victory by a 21.8 point effort from Thomas Jones, who snuck past the Cincinnati Bengals defense for 65 rushing yards and 2 rushing tds in addition to 13 receiving yards. With this performance, Jones was the number 5 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 6. They also got help from a 14.8 point effort from Correll Buckhalter, who got by the San Francisco 49ers defense for 93 rushing yards and 1 rushing td in addition to 85 receiving yards.

"We're not going to rest on our laurels," Brazilian Treasures coach Michael L said.

nerds were helped out in a losing cause by a 15.7 point effort from Braylon Edwards, who beat the New York Giants defense for 154 receiving yards and 1 receiving td. With this performance, Edwards was the number 2 ranked wide receiver for week 6. They also got help from a 9.7 point effort from Sammy Morris, who snuck past the San Diego Chargers defense for 26 rushing yards and 1 rushing td in addition to 49 receiving yards.

"They stepped up and made the plays," nerds coach John Burgos said.

Causing further embarrassment, nerds could have scored 73.2 points and gotten the win with their best lineup, but John Burgos left key players like Donovan McNabb and his corresponding 15.8 points on the bench.

This brings the record for Brazilian Treasures to 4-2, and drops nerds to a record of 3-3.

interesting article (a little old but still interesting) about black people and fantasy football.

couple of interesting lines: demographics: --Males, mid-30s, college-educated, income of $75,000, who have high-speed Internet. Only 1.6% of fantasy players are black, 2.3% are Latino and 1.1% are Asian.

ok the plan is to run 18 tomorrow. i know i said that the last 2 weeks (i ended up running 15 and 13.5 respectively but tomorrows the day. i really have to with the pasadena marathon about a month away and my huntington beach 10 mile race next sat. i even gave away my asu tix to my bro.

after an email from joghas, i had to include this. vh1's top 100 hip hop list (actual list on bottom of link). some notable omissions. some bad calls. anyone care to comment? (i know exactly what you are thinking...where's snow and vanilla ice!)

and this weekend big games. dodgers and sc. rich v actually scored me a ticket to game 4...not trying to jinx or anything but umm..there might not even be a game 4? petros calls it a pivotal game for the pete carroll area. i call it a must win.
