HiBAiSHi

I don’t want to spend the time finishing my post about my last trip yet, there are still more pictures to be found scattered here and there. It might take me another day or two, for that I apologize. But I did stay up to Game/Anandcast the Chargers game. That’s the reason that you see Antonio Cromartie making an amazing grab in the powder blues. Just some small thoughts:

• “Dog Vicktory” is 8-2-0, in a 12 person league! Led by Joseph Addai and Marshawn Lynch, Dog Vicktory has made it to the top of the standings. Bolstered by key late round picks Ben Roethlisberger and Wes Welker, this team features four good receivers and two tight ends.
• “Fido Vick” is 6-4-0 in a 10 person league, pathetically low despite having the first pick and having LaDainian Tomlinson. But this league is funny business, starting two quarterbacks and giving you the W/T slot. It also inflates the QB statistics. This is unfortunate as my QB’s suck, especially Philip Rivers. Learn to throw, not shot put.
• “Reservoir Dogs” are 5-5-0, primarily due high picks invested in Steven Jackson and Marc Bulger. Unfortunately, the only good thing Steven Jackson has done all year is make this commercial. Actually Wes Welker was a second to last round pick on almost all of my teams, so that’s partly why some of the bad ones still remain afloat.

Also, I really want to see the film Juno. Here are some video clips and the soundtrack. Last night I realized how much of it is based on Kimya Dawson and the Moldy Peaches, which is funny because every one of my friends at school likes to complain that I listen to “that little girl sing.” That’s okay. It still belongs on playlists and mix tapes.

Also, has anyone seen Kicking and Screaming? It’s one of those movies that people always tell me to see if i like Noah Baumbach but I have never gotten the chance, mostly because it’s hard to find floating around on the internet. Although I am a Blockbuster Rewards member. Better take advantage before Blockbuster completely closes up shop.

Gmail has moved on to 2.0, like the rest of the world. It really is one of the two google products I still use, and even then I feel like it should be combined somehow with Reader so I don’t have to check two things. And have two separate notifiers. The Android OS they are developing seems to be really cool too, though I’m not too supportive of their war on facebook, open social. Strange to think how these things have evolved since the old days when I used to have a deadjournal.

Ray found this Weeds website for me, which seems pretty awesome. So far behind. Someone ruined some of it for me in Season 3 but I’ll catch up soon. With all the striking that’s been going on maybe I won’t be as behind on my stories as I thought.

Speaking of Weeds, I think I don’t have much time to do anything. Due to expenses being forced upon Ray that I will explain later - I’m running out of travel buddies and may not get to see cities like Copenhagen or Brussels or Dublin. We’ll see. But I still am planning to go to Amsterdam in the coming weeks. We shall see, won’t we.
