2. The Boston Red Sox
They won the AL East division and they’re in a good position to win it all. They won game 1 the other day.
3. Wii
I got myself a Wii! Finally after scouring the different shops here, I was able to find an unreserved unit at Toys R Us. Playing Wii is just about all the exercise I’m getting because my right foot is still injured… well, that and walking to Portillo’s.
4. The Chicago Cubs
Fine, so I’m not a Cubs fan but with them in the playoffs, I can’t wait to see downtown draped in all sorts of Cubs decorations. The Cubs are an interesting bunch with a deep and colorful history marred with curses and disappointments. I have some friends who are big time Cubs fans and discussing Cubs history with them is like talking to one of your friends back in college who had a girlfriend, lost much of his allowance wining and dining her only for her to run off with a richer and more handsome dude who was the starting point guard of the basketball team. (oops, overshare...)
5. Diet Schmiet
This week, I ate at Joy Yee Noodle House (a small restaurant in Chinatown), Portillo’s (pasta/burger joint… it’s like a cross between Sbarro and Hotshots), Hooters, New Orleans Kitchen and Singha.
How much weight did I gain? I have no idea since the batteries in my scale died out. Ahh, that wonderful feeling between eating a big meal and checking your weight.
6. The Foot Goes Down
3 weeks and counting since spraining my ankle. No, I’m not yet back to 100% but at least I can walk now. I can’t jog or run or jump yet and watching me “run” across pedestrian walks with a blinking red light is like watching a penguin running away from a leopard seal.
7. Took 6 shots and just got hungry
I drink but I don’t allow myself to get completely wasted. I was out with some friends one night and they brought a bottle of vodka (I brought a Heineken draught keg). I didn’t really count how much I drank that night but I’ll estimate around 6 shots of vodka and 3 glasses of beer and that wasn’t enough to bring me down. I wasn’t even dizzy. I was just hungry.
I walked home at 5am with Louvre and Oliver and what was the first thing I did at home? Yup, check my work emails and did some work. After a few minutes I got a headache and fell asleep.
8. I won the fantasy baseball championship in our league.
This is the first time I joined a baseball fantasy league and I’m proud that I took home the crown this year. This is sweet considering I won none last year in fantasy play. Can’t wait for the basketball season.
9. Teri Hatcher
The new Claire Danes. No, I don’t support the comments she made in one episode of Desperate Housewives against Filipino med workers. Filipinos were not happy about it as they united and lobbied for an apology from the ABC television network. Look on the bright side, along with Manny Pacquiao, they are the only individuals who can single handedly unite the Filipino people.
10. They posted my article in the company newsletter.
I’m officially a contributor to the company newsletter (no surprise they gave me the wacky section). What? Oh, you didn’t know that? Can’t believe it? Yes, it’s true! I’m not kidding.
Our company really does have a newsletter. :-/
