Sam pwns an Andretti
Sam wrecked Andretti right before the finish line and took the 90th running. It was a pretty good race. I missed some of the middle of the race, but I saw Danica pit early and she probably would have won if there was no yellow in the last 10 laps.
Oh well, Sam is a good driver. Next up ... some Futbol

Again with the pop culture
So...
My account exec at work is going to Vegas this weekend. He's a typical normal 30-something guy who likes sports, etc. He was talking to a team member of mine (single mom, 40-ish, etc) and she says to him "here, here's a dollar, play roulette for me." He asks what spot does he want to bet on for her. They go back and forth about what a "safe" bet is. She comes over to me and asks me. I quickly respond with "Obviously Red 5".
She is like..."why obviously". I look at my AE and I'm like "c'mon help me out here". He has no clue. I'm starting to feel really geeked out here. Luckily the config guy sitting near my desk (around my age) pipes up with "yea Girard, I know why you bet on Red 5"
I explain to them why and then I proceed to start questioning people I know that "should" know this but they don't. My faith in the geeks of the world fades just a little bit today.
And...if you don't know why you should bet on Red 5. I don't even know you...*sniff*

Marnie found vent/teamspeak
And I get to hear little nuggets of goodness all the time, like this one
"I'll just mind control him and tell him that we aren't going to hurt him"
I turn to her all serious and say, "who do you think you are, Professor X"
and sadly, she didn't get it. I thought it was humorous. I guess I haven't pop-cultured her enough.
...silly little fairy.

If I were casting...
new superman trailer
...I would have cast Hayden-William Courtland as Superman.
and of course Mark Tuttle as Lex Luthor.

On a Sunday afternoon...
I'm just sitting here feeling kinda depressed. My WSOP freeroll qualifier for the WSOP satellite is about to start (3500). Marnie is running BRD for the emperor and it doesn't sound like it's going very well. They always have issues with the lyceum.
Thank goodness the Mets just got out of the inning with only giving up a single run. And I swear, if I see another damn graphic about how well Scott Kazmir is, I think I'm gonna be sick.

3pm
Some people like to recognize 4:20, I, myself, like to recognize 3pm.
For about two years, 3pm drink runs were a norm. No matter what you were doing, you could stop, realize that there is something other than trying to force a square peg into a round hole (or perhaps 9 lines of text onto a card...although, why it was 9 lines in the first place remains to be seen).
Today was ... troublesome. I was feeling pretty down about a couple friends of mine and I looked up and it was 3pm. Well guess what, I busted out the car keys, told everyone I'd be back in 15 minutes. Drove down to the CircleK and got a drink. It was a Sobe Power (the cap said Chop Chop). I spent those 15 minutes thinking about all the friends I have made in the past couple years thanks to someone taking a chance on me.
Que the Ipod.

Bleh
Went to Urgent Care yesterday, they said it's acute bronchitis. I got some prednisone (which my mom took for her asthma) and some cough syrup with codeine.
They didn't make me sleep any better. I think I need to cut back on the 106 hours per pay period at mah job.

Save a penny, take forever
Marnie and I were at Walmart today. He got our usual cart full of ... well pretty much nothing healthy to eat. But we are going to try and eat at home rather than eat out all the time.
ANYWAY....
So the lady in front of us has a cart full of groceries as well. And she busts out with her pocket size notebook. Marnie is like "oh geez, she's probably got all the prices from the other stores and plans on getting the price match guarentee." And I say, "it's probably just her shopping list". Well it turns out Marnie was right. We waited while this woman went through about 40-50 items that she wanted a better price on. Marnie and I stood there for about 20-30 minutes while this lady save a buck or two here and there. Well, me being impatient like I am and well...passive aggressive, I just stood there and had a bad attitude about it.
Marnie goes to the people behind us, "dont' worry about us, we won't be doing that." The old guy responded with "why not? If it saves you money, why wouldn't you do that, heck we do." So...Marnie gets owned by this guy, 15 minutes later the lady gets finished with her price match and she totals about $89 or so. We roll up next, the checker looks relieved to be done with her and she rings up our stuff. We have a little less in our cart and ours comes to $150 or so. Now granted, we don't buy generic stuff, we buy a lot of premade dinners and the higher end ice cream.
The Moral of the story is ... it's good to be a yuppie.

Past Weekend
ugh, I pretty much did nothing. I was sick on Saturday, I was supposed to watch the draft with my dad but I felt like crap. He did make sure to call me and ask who the DB that the dolphins drafted was.
I made sure to send Joe a message to let him know that the Titans are screwed. I think the Broncos were one of the top three teams for the draft, along with the Cardinals. The "experts" are saying that the most successful QB will be Cutler followed by Leinhart because of the systems they are in.
I played a little bit of WoW, but it didn't really hold my interest.
I watched Steve Nash get royally robbed on Sunday. Luke Walton needs to give Steve his wallet back. And the Mets gave Jeff Francouer an early Mayday gift (not sure if Jeff is russian or not) and then lost.
I have some opinions about the whole immigrant thing, but alas, I'm trying to curve some of my political views because I have been labeled as a racist/bigot in the past.
Tonite is going to be good though. I get to see McGregor and he and I have sweet seats on the Diamond Level at the OldBob/NewChase Field. Hopefully I can make it there for the first pitch and he can see at least 4 innings before he has to catch his plane.
Bleh, I still feel like crap.
