India vs. South Africa: The Showdown!

Today at work, I've been really busy and bored at the same time, never a good combination. To make matters worse, my mother called and was her usually annoying self. Its going to be an interesting few days when they come, especially because my mom is so excited to have green and red chili and loves Mexican food, and my wife absolutely HATES it. I personally like it, but I hope Priyam can fake some sort of fondness, cus it might be A LONG COUPLE OF DAYS.

Actually, all day I've been pretty excited about the India vs. South Africa cricket match tonight. The past week or so when I come back home and have about 30 minutes to myself in the morning before I have to leave for work, I've been watching cricket. Not just my wife's team India, but all sorts of different teams, like today's match: England vs. Bangladesh. I must say, I'm really enjoying the sport. I never really knew much about cricket, even living in Europe. But the more I watch these one day matches, the more I'm getting into it. Tonight is India vs. South Africa, two countries with some really good teams, so of course Priyam will be waking up to see it. Uusually I just wake up in the morning to see the end, but I think I might stay up with her this time. Its going to be a really tight game, and I'm not sure if I can afford to miss the action.

COME ON INDIA!

Cookie Monster!

So last night the wife told me that she was tired of looking at my boring cell phone background, so instead I downloaded a cookie monster background! I was a little amused to see it on the list of most popular backgrounds. As a kid, I loved watching Sesame Street and remember laughing to Cookie Monster's silly antics and amazing apetite for cookies, but apparently he's sort of a cult figure amongst adults. Who knew. Although, I do remember the hillarious Family Guy skits with Cookie Monster. I tried to find a quality copy on youtube, but no such luck. Instead, I've got an NPR interview with Cookie Monster.

Eat It Buckeyes

Hello all, first, I would  like to apologize for my absense, I really have no excuse for it. Next, I would like to thank Ohio State University football program for screwing themselves over. As a Michigan Wolverine fan, the past few years have been really upsetting, from Rich Rod's hiring and firing, to the lack of amazing head coaching candidates, and always wondering if Big Blue will be able to regain the success they had while I was growing up. All the while Ohio State (our bitter rival) was laughing all the way to the bank, recruiting the top players, dominating the Big Ten, and going to BCS bowl games year after year. Their success was unmatched, and it made me very angry. Now, with Head Coach Jim Tressel lying to the NCAA, I finally can smile again. THATS WHAT YOU GET YOU EVIL SCHOOL. As an after thought, They'll be my People I Love to Hate this week.

Anyway, life has been good, got paid today (after noticing New Mexico raised the state taxes, those assholes). Also, I wanted to post a heromachine entry I have made, I call him the Resurrector:

Hope you like it!

Eat.Play.Shoot Me Now

So, its been a decent weekend so far: Yesterday, after a extremely crazy morning (bygones) the wifey and I went to the mall, walked around looking for clothes for her work, (which is an entirely different blog post), and I purchased an awesome game called Batman: Arkham Aslyum for XBOX 360. I've been on a huge batman crazed mission for about a week now, including starting to read Batman comics again (which I forgot that I absolutely loved). We also went out for dinner last night to Lin's Buffet, which was good, but super busy.

Today, after the wife waking up relatively early for the India-Ireland cricket match, we have sort of lazed about and we decided to watch Eat Pray Love which we had on Netflix so we could send the movies out on Monday to get three new ones. Put it this way: Priyam complained at the end that for 2 hours straight I was complaining. Normally I don't have an issue with romantic comedies not suited to the male viewer. I watch them to spend time with the wife and it makes her happy, so of course I am willing to sit through some mindless nonsense. But this offended me on so many levels. I won't get into it, because it might just make me enraged once again, so I will refrain. Hopefully, the day gets better from here. Maybe some Batman video games will cheer me up.

Only in New Mexico

I just saw a kid run across a five lane highway. Can I add to my People I Love to Hate list New Mexico people in general? Seriously....wtf

I Just Can't Help Myself

Another Beiber getting hit video. After taking a missed three pointer, rapper Common just runs over Justin Beiber. I might just have to go and buy a Common album now just for that, he's gone way up in my book.
