I'm about to start playing soccer on my company team. Yay!
I'm about to start playing soccer for my company team, and suffer a heart attack because I'm out of shape, overweight, have high blood pressure... and I'm 43. Boo!
Wish me luck.

Question time! Who wants to play?
-First up, what should my Yankees do now that they've lost another disappointing playoff series? I hate to say it, but I think this is finally Joe Torre's swan song.
-What is the appeal of Sloppy Joe's? I like meat, but I've always thought that this was a strange concoction. Someone please explain.
-I'm voting for a Democrat in...

This quiz is too hard! I don't know any of the answers. I don't know why Sloppy Joe's are awesome...they just are. As for the rest of the questions..you're on your own!
_pie_:
sloppy joes are just messy deliciousnes... and I take melatonin when I cannot sleep
Man, I've been really bad about posting. Sorry about that. Busy and lazy at the same time (does that make sense?) Anyhoo, hope all of you are well. Not much new with me, just work, which is getting more stressful by the day. But, it's still fun so no worries. Oh, my old 27-in. TV blew a picture tube or something, so I had to...

Yup, good ole uofm! We have a ton of colleges and universities around here, but I'm pretty sure it's the only one in Memphis with journalism.
Our school is going along, nothing new seems to have developed on the case however, it's really sad.
Anyway, Juliette Lewis!! She's a real fox!
Voting turned out alright, I dont know if you know anything about the last Memphis mayor, but he's a real (bad) character. Guess who won again?
Hope all is well! I'll be coming up there in March hopefully!

As some of you may know, my job takes me out of town 3 days a week to a boring little burg about 15 miles outside of Hartford. There's really nothing fun to do there, and I work kinda late so I'm too tired to try to navigate Hartford for something to do (I really don't know that town at all). So, a bunch of...

It's good to be back 
I looove finally figuring out what a catchy tune is, especially when it's something random from a commercial or something. God bless the internet.
As far as 50 goes, any man who can afford a giant house in Farmington with a *heated* driveway gets none of my money.

Wow, thank you so much for all the treats!! That was very sweet of you!! 
I keep seeing that guy Criss Angel everywhere, and reading about how he's trying to hook up with Cameron Diaz or Lindsay Lohan or whoever. Ugh. I hate magicians. Copperfield, Blaine, Angel, Doug Henning, Penn & Teller... fucking dorks. Sure, they pull off some pretty cool feats, and some can be funny (Penn & Teller), but I just can't stand them. No, I've never been...

i have to agree with you on that. Wow I froze myself in a block of ice for 2 days... Who gives a shit.
kattrinak:
the boss at the place i was managing at was nothin' but a drunken fool, not backing me in disciplinarian issues. so i found another gig.
I just got the new Ikea catalog. It's usually a minor event in my household, especially now that I'm only about a half-hour away from New Haven, home of one of the stores.
Is it me or does this year's version of the catalog suck? I'm not a huge fan of their stuff -- some of it is pretty flimsy and garish -- but I...

i am so not looking forward to cracking mine open now that you've warned me of this. and this while i type from an IKEA desk....muah ha ha....
sauda:
That is very insightful. I've not seen the new IKEA mag just yet. I do, however, love to run through the store pretending I have the money for everything I want.
Goddamn! I just picked up Ghostface Killah's CD "Fishscale," and the shit is ON FIRE! Awesome album! I can barely work it's so good. For those who don't know, GK is part of the Wu-Tang. Wow, this is some serious shit.

Did you ever see Best in Show, the Christopher Guest movie about dog shows? There's a great scene in it about catalogs. Hope you're doing well!
My girlfriend is all kinds of house-obsessed. Can't wait to buy one, but she's only willing to live in a couple of way-too-expensive towns, so things aren't moving too quickly. That, and the fact that I'm not in a position financially, or professionally just yet, to go house hunting. So, this has manifested itself into her watching massive amounts of HGTV and all those house-flipping/decorating...

mmmmm...cluck, cluck, cluck. my ex became HGTV obsessed, and it became one of the dealbreakers for us. i couldn't stand All Home TV, All The Time.....

Haha, I was just about to leave the same comment that Joe left you. 
Back home from Vegas. Didn't gamble once. Not one time, which is what I set out to do. I didn't want to lose any money, and by god, I didn't. The convention I attended was great, but I really can't stand that city. Only another work-related event would ever get me back there. 
Week from hell coming up. Ugh.

Exactly what you said re: the the democratic top choices. I don't hate HIL... and she has worked hard. I do believe she is more conservative, more ready to cave to existing structures... I do believe our best hope lies in Barack's readiness to communicate and defy those who would call him naive for doing so!
hope hell week is almost over

so you voting for hillbilly and o' (henry) banana?
Greetings from Las Vegas! I'm here for an industry trade convention that my company is sponsoring... LOVE the convention, HATE Vegas. Too hot, too many people, too many ways to syphon money out of your pocket... yikes! 
Just the 4-5 block walk from my hotel to where the conference is being held is like walking through a blast furnace. And, my body's still all messed...
