We are the champions, we are the champions!

Of scrub-league hockey, of course. It was a tight, and often aggressive game, filled with action-packed excitement. Ok, it was scrub-level excitement, but exciting nonetheless.

Sadly, I had just come from the gym, so I had very little strength or energy left. I gave it my all, but there wasn't much left in the tank.

Even so, the rest of my team did great. Also, we get $30 off (each) next season's entry fee of $70, so that's cool.

See how boring this is, not talking about So You Think You Can Dance?? ;-)

Speaking of sports, it's time for the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City. I had planned on going down to watch it, but couldn't juggle enough stuff to do it.

At any rate, I love women's sports, for two obvious reasons. 1: I love the look of really athletic women. And, 2: I think that level of competition is a lot more interesting to watch than men's sports (for the most part).

Additionally, I like the attitude that women have when it comes to sports. It's like most of them realize that it's really just a game, after all.

That said, this year in women's softball seems to have brought out some of the manliest looking women I have EVER seen. Holy hell. It's almost too disturbing to watch. And, it's kind of a sad, inverse proportion of attractiveness versus ability.

Ah, c'est la vie. Can't have everything, I s'pose.

Finally, the show last night was FABULOUS! Some really great dancers. Next week is Vegas week, though, so only really good dancers will be featured from here on out. Thankfully, I won't have Suzanne bitching anymore about "Why do they let these idiots on the show? Don't they know they suck??"

Please to enjoy.

SYTYCD!

Just finished watching my show. It was really good, except for a couple of parts. Ok, one big part: What the hell was the point of bringing that freak chick on the show??? I literally couldn't even watch that bit! Yuck.

Also, what was with that Sonia woman? It was like she was having an orgasm over every Lyrical dancer...

Speaking of which, it really pisses me off that every really good lyrical dancer gets a free pass to Vegas, but every really good (anything else) dancer still has to "stick around for choreography". What the hell is up with that? Is lyrical dancing so perfect and so difficult that every other style is just a cake walk? That's bullshit, man! (See, I can be butch when I want to...)

There were a lot of really good dancers featured tonight, but none that really knocked my socks off. I'm hoping that next week will reveal (to me, at least) my early favorite.

Of course, being my early favorite is almost a guaranteed kiss of death, so maybe I shouldn't even pick one.

Finally, I'm really happy that Lauren is back on the show. I loved her from day one.

Also, Matt Sera and Matt Hughes are going to fight on Saturday night. Hughes is gonna kick Sera's ass so badly, he'll probably lose his ridiculous New Jersey accent.

That is all.

No AI, no peace?

So, my kid tells me that too much AI is not always a good thing. Therefore, I will keep my comments to a minimum where Adam and Kris (but not Danny) are concerned.

Last weekend, I took Chris (the older boy) with me back to loverly Sidney, NE. It was a LONG boring ride, but it was nice to see a couple old buddies. Also, I met the family who are now renting the house. They were a nice wholesome family, just like us... ;-)

Everything went perfectly on the trip and we made our way back to Omaha safely. Oh, and lest I forget, I made a cool $86 playing cards with the guys, which basically paid for the trip.

Suzanne had a little minor surgery on Friday. She's not great with needles, pain, doctors, patience, medicine, following directions, suffering silently, or stoicism. Therefore, it probably would have been better had I had the surgery myself... I'm sure it would have been easier to deal with. She came through without incident and I can tell that the pain is now almost non-existent as I'm no longer getting a minute-by-minute rundown of her current physical state.

Work is going well. We recently got another batch of servers that I get to build - which makes Anthony a happy boy. I just have to remember to do my other work and not just focus on the stuff I like to do - like building new servers for instance.

The new hockey season is going well. They decided to break the league up into A and B leagues. I am in the B league and rightfully so. I am much happier playing at the scrub level where I don't feel like I'm just some slow, old guy who's in the way most of the time. On the scrub team, I'm one of the better players! King of the scrubs, they call me.

Also, the weight training is going rather nicely, if I do say so myself. I mean, I have always been ridiculously good-looking, but now, with the extra muscle mass, I'm even better looking if that's even possible.

Tonight's the season finale of Survivor. It looks to be pretty good. Suzanne was so happy when they voted off coach last week, but I was a little disappointed. He's clearly nuts and adds kind of an awkward element that always makes for good TV.

Finally, Adam and Kris are going head-to-head on Tuesday. Honestly, as good as Adam is, it could go either way. Kris is a really good singer and seems to have a pretty strong following. If Adam goes a little too broadway in his performances, he might lose those all-too-crucial Danny votes.

I'll probably post more re: AI on Wednesday after the results show. Holy crap, I just realized that I totally forgot to mention SYTYCD! How could I have been so remiss?? Suffice to say, it's been too long coming! Thursday night, mark your DVR and set your TV to fabulous... ;-)
