I had Eric shoot me in the leg with my pistol, ’cause I was curious as to how hard it hit. That was a mistake, ’cause I had just put a free CO2 cartridge in it. Combine that with Doty hitting me in the same exact spot with his P99, I’m gonna have quite the welt there tomorrow.

I’m in a “do absoulutely nothing” mode right now. Think I’ll probably go up to Whigville, get some beer and program in perl all night long. I’ve decided to make an effort to do more coding and geek stuff and less video games. Not because, I don’t like video games. Hell, I’m trying to play Civ3 and type this at the same time right now. It’s just that, in the long run, knowing perl and bash and how to setup an SSH tunnel will be more useful than how quickly I can pwn the Zulus and take their iron.

Speaking of Civ3. It really irates me when a city has civil disorder like 2 turns before I build a damn catherdral.

For the record, it is McAssCold in my house right now.

Continuing in the vain from yesterday, I’m going to be talking about a sports topic now, this time, hockey.

I got my issue of ESPN the Magazine today (because, somewhere down the line, I got a free subscription to it. Don’t ask me how, because I’m not sure.) Anyway, they have the Wings second in the central division behind the Preds, which is fine. The Preds are a good team and the Wings have a lot of question marks. But I’m sorry, but when we’ve got, on paper, one of the best defensives in the league and a lot of young talent like Zetterberg and Datsyuk, I’d say that’s better than anyone the Preds have got.

That being said, they have to knock the Wings off before I’ll say that they’re the best in the Central. The Wings have been the best in the central for over a decade, I think that they deserve a bit of respect for that.

But hey, what does ESPN know about hockey?

Alright people, peace.

I found out today that my prof for Intro to PC (yeah, I know) grades on a curve. Which is good because the first quiz was poorly worded, and the last thing I wanted was some shitty quiz to tank my GPA.

Speaking of hard shots, my prof for Strategies reminds me a lot of Shanti, from UMF. Shanti has an Abe Lincoln obsession, and this guy has a tendency to refer to the frings of the internet as “Crackjobs in their basement in a robe, drinking rot gut and making things sound good.

We’re playing airsoft tomorrow and I’m really excited. I need to get my shooting-people-in-the-face-in-a-completely-non-lethal-way on.

My employer is running a deal tomorrow where if you buy $100 worth of stuff you get a coupon for $2 off of each gallon of gas upto 10 gallons. I’m so glad that I’m not working tomorrow.

Suckers

In an attempt to increase readership and so I have some substance to these puppies, I’m gonna start finding something to talk about besides my life (zomghax). Today, I’m gonna talk about baseball, and if you don’t like baseball (Brett, I’m looking right at you), thank you for your time and see you tomorrow.

As we all know, the Tigers made the playoffs for the first time in 19 years this season, and as such, there is some controversy as to who’s going to be on the playoff roster. One name that has been stated already is pitcher Mike Maroth. A lot of people are ticked about this because Maroth lost 20 games for the Tigers back in ‘03 (not because he’s a bad pitcher, but because the team sucked) and they feel that the Tigers owe Maroth something.

I agree with that, but you know what? He’s not healty. If he was healthy, I’d take him on the roster of rookie Andrew Miller any day, but Maroth’s not 100% and the last thing  you want on your playoff roster is finesse pitcher who hurt. I hope that Maroth’s healthy for the ALCS because I would love to see him get a chance in the spotlight
