• 2011 Goals

    Last year I set a ton of goals… too many, in fact. I also didn’t follow The Golden Rules of Setting Goals (primarily #2). This year, I will do better. Without further ado, I present you my goals for 2011: Run 1000 miles. I’m back to a point where I think I can run 20 miles a week without bringing my hamstring issues back.…

  • My Favorite Things of 2010

    Last year, I read some books, watched some movies, played some games, went some places, listened to some music, ate around, and drank some stuff.

  • Fantasy? More like a nightmare.

     Jess, last update of the year! Big Money League: Dominated the entire season despite starting 4-3 (bad matchups). Won the regular season with a 10-3 record. Did I mention I was dominant all season? I was. Ended with 10% more points than 2nd place.

  • 20,000 Gamerpoints

    Letting a little bit of my geek slip out here… This past weekend, in the midst of a heated battle with Heather in Scene It? Box Office Smash (we split a pair of games, which is our norm), I obtained my 20,000th gamerpoint. Five years in the making… Wow, XBOX 360 is five years old? Hardly leaves me wanting for more and there’s nothing new…
