Yaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!

In addition to the new Spiderman movie, I'm looking foward to this in the theaters :)

Click here to watch since my blog doesn't want to be wide enough to display the trailer.

For the first time in Jeopardy history....

Watch what happens! :)

March Madness has begun!

(*Dick Vitale*) It's showtime baby! Time for the diaper dandy's and the PTPers to step up their game for sport's biggest dance of the year! (/*Dick Vitale*)

There weren't too many surprises in the first around, although it wasn't a good time to be a Blue Devil. Central Connecticut ran into a buzz saw as the Buckeyes shot 52 from the field and 55% from 3 on their way to a 21 point win. And meanwhile, the Dukies ran into a tough-nosed VCU team that wouldn't go away as VCU kicked and clawed their way back from an early 13 point deficit with 3 point shooting and full court presses to a 2 point win. So far, I've missed 2 to 3 picks depending on the bracket (my misses were Texas Tech over BC, Gonzaga over Indiana, and George Washington over Vanderbilt), but it's been enough to either tie for the lead or for 2nd place in the pools I've been in. So far, there haven't been any super huge upsets (VCU over Duke might have been an upset, but the Dukies haven't been play that well this year as they came into the tournament with 3 straight losses), and I feel this year that most of the higher seeds will likely come through. But we'll see if anyone will pull a George Mason...

Time to fire up Quake...

Looks like playing video games might be healthy for something :) Although, it hasn't reduced my eye prescription...

*Shakes head*

After watching American Idol last night and then checking the DialIdol results this morning, these predictions make me a sad panda -_- For those who haven't been watching, Sanjaya's singing ability has been outclassed by almost all of his peers every night (and the talent of the guys this year is fairly low), yet he's managed to stay in the competition -_- There've been comparisons drawn to him and Kevin Covais (as some people thought Kevin shouldn't have gone as far as he did), but I think that would be an insult to Kevin since he actually sang pretty decently in season 5. Oh well...just wanted to rant this morning -_-

Update: Well, it looks like Sanjaya was actually in the bottom three despite what DialIdol said. The show had it down to Sanjaya and Haley after singling out two other boys who were in the bottom 3, and I thought "well, there goes Haley..." But no, Sanjaya's named was called! Unfortuantely, it was only a tease for complainers like me as still Sanjaya managed to hang around for one more week -_-

March Tournament

Sports fans know that the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament is coming up, but this is more of my kind of March Madness :P I didn't hear about this till this afternoon today, so I don't know if I'll be able to register, but I sent an email and I'm crossing my fingers to see if they'll let me participate...

Update: Looks like I'm #7 on the waiting list, which might not be a bad sign since 7 is my favorite number :P I guess I'll find out when I get there...

Update 2: I got into the main draw, but I lost in the 2nd round by 2000 points on Heart Shaped Box. I was sort of sleepwalking through the song in the beginning and made some dumb mistakes, and the other guy was basically ahead the entire time, but I made a major comeback near the end of the song as the guy made a mistake and I was able to capitalize on the 4x and 8x bonus on the triple notes. But my rally fell short as I made a sleepy error at the end that probably cost me the win. But man, people that came to the tournament were real serious as some of them even brought their own guitar from home to use, and there were some people that were really good as well, so I probably would have gone home eventually. Ah well, not too bad for not playing GH2 for about a month :P

How many states in 10 minutes?

I managed to get 48 but forgot about Xraghpxl naq Zvffvffvccv -_- (Use rot13 to decode)
