First day

I went to kickboxing for the first time in about two years. There are so many muscles I forgot I even had. The teacher even came up to me and made me kick on the kicking pad and was like "You used to come here all the time!" Doh! Hahaha. I plan on getting back on the train and try to build muscle and lose those love handles!

Week 8 picks

Since I haven't been following football (except for my Fantasy team) for the past 2 weeks because of my business trip, I will just pick randomly and see how that goes. This week should be cat week - Panthers, Jaguars, Bengals.... My costume for Halloween this year will be a Tiger! I need to find some orange body paint and paint myself like this person:




















Oakland vs. Baltimore.
Kyle Boller used to play for the Ravens. Oakland is beating teams I hear. So I choose..
Oakland (+7)

San Diego vs New Orleans
Saints beat the Niners and stupid Reggie Bush almost got in a fight with our players. I hope Kim Kardashian and him totally get in a fight the night before the game and she's about to release a sex tape and he's too preoccupied and so he can't play. HMPH! Go LT!
San Diego (-3)

Kansas City vs New York
Um... I don't even know which NY team this is, so yeah. They don't even have LJ. I can't even play LJ this week! BLAH. THis is a bad week for my fantasy team.
New York (-14)

Buffalo vs. Miami
Dammit, didn't Miami beat the Patriots? Well this one is for Jack. Go Trent Edwards.
Buffalo (-1.5)

Tampa Bay vs. Dallas
No Romo, No problem.
Dallas (-2)

Atlanta vs. Philly
No idea. I guess they can cover. I don't even know what's going on with these two teams.
Philly (-7)

St. Louis vs. New England
St Louis can cover. OJ will intercept.
St Louis (+7)

Arizona vs. Carolina
THis is for my Halloween costume.
Carolina (-4)

Washington vs. Detroit
Yeah, if the niners can beat them....hahah come on now.... Even though a "lion" is a cat, and the "king of the jungle", I really can't pick Detroit at all....
Washington (-7.5)

Cleveland vs. Jacksonville
I have no idea,Hm... but I am going to be a tiger for Halloween....so...
Jacksonville (-7)

New York vs. Pittsburgh
Oh yeah.... BigBen is playing. This is hard....
New York (+3)

Seattle vs. San Fran
SF duh. (-5.5)

Cincinnati vs. Houston
I'm starting Schuab this week. So he better give me some good numbers. I mean, who loses to the worst team in the JTO'Sullivan Time league? Oh man, I was going to choose the Texans this week. But since I'm going with a Halloween theme....
Cincinnati (+9) Ugg... I think I'm already going to lose this one.

Indy vs. Tennessee
errr. Flip a coin
Indy (+4)

There you have it. My picks for Week 8.

shanghai nights

my insomniac nights are not faring well for my skin. am i still on shanghai time or is it i only need two hours a sleep a night? i only wish i had these super human powers to release myself of this need for sleep. ironically, i love sleep and can't get enough of it.

shanghai is like hong kong merged with a taipei of 20 years ago that is high on steroids and laced with coke. if you have enough money, you can practically get away with anything, practically anything. it's amazing how much loyalty you can buy with money, promise of prestige or position. it's all that i remember of taipei but exponentially more. if you're a male ABC, it's your playground to roam and pick as you please. just remember to don't get girls pregnant. if you're a female, good luck finding clothes that fit. it's the wild west, dog-eat-dog world of asia. actually most of china is like that.

i'm still thinking back on my experience of last week. one thing i know for sure - people are definitely rude. i've never been kicked out of a taxi until i got to china. not once, but twice.

am i even making sense? maybe it is time for bed.

Man I am terrible.

I should just go pick the opposite of whatever I think is going to win or cover.

Here is for Week 5:

Houston (+3)
I would usually go for Indiapolis to cover, but since this week is opposite week, I'm going to say Houston.

Tennessee (-3)
I think this was the only team I got right last week. So they are my lucky Titans!

Miami (+7)
Normally I would think that San Diego can cover, but Miami did a great job last week.

Kasas City (+7)
Yeah, I think KS can cover.

Washington (+6)
6 is a lot of points considering that they did pretty well last week.

Chicago (-3.5)
Niners beat Detroit.

??

Seattle (+7)

Denver (-3.5)

San Francisco (+3)
Always choose your team

Arizona (-1.5)

Cincinnati (+16.5)
Ocho Cinco power!

Pittsburgh (+4.5)

Minnesota (+3)
Boo on the Saints. They beat JTO. :( Reggie Bush is dating Kim Kardashian.

Last week: 2-11
Overall : 7-22

Week 4 Supplement.

I think I'm supposed to post a blog about completely random nothingness next to Jack's picks. (Because that's what Sports Gal does).

Well, anyways, not sure if anybody actually reads this blog. Here goes...

I have this unnerving feeling that my Dad is right about oil and gas. You can say he's sort of an "expert" in this field. That one day the way we travel will dramatically change, that one day most areas will be locally focused and people will not wander to far off places. Something like that. I feel like I'm half pannicking and wanting to travel to as many countries as I can with all the miles I accrued in this job of mine so I can "see the world" before the shit hits the fan and half acting oblivious living my day-to-day life as if the next will be the same.

Now and then I'll come across a cnn.com or NYT.com article detailing all the polar ice caps are melting or there's not enough gas or random graphs depicting the end of oil by 2070. :(

Hopefully, by then, somewhere somebody will be building electric vehicles for me to drive.

So what new fall season TV shows are people watching? I just caught the first episode of Lipstick Jungle on Hulu.com and the latest Stephen Colbert. He won an emmy!

PS. China is sending Chinese people into space??? What the..... Hopefully they're not using any powdered milk!

Picks for Week 4

Denver (-9)
9 seems like a lot of points. Jack said that the KS coach is running the team down the drain, but then I saw them on Hard Knocks last season.... he seems like such a nice guy. Jay Cutler is my QB, so I'm going to go with my Fantasy Football guy. Sorry Chiefs...

Cincinnati (-3.5)
Don't the Browns really really suck?

Jacksonville (-7)
I know Houston sucks, so I'm going for the other team.

Arizona (+1.5)
I think Arizona is going to come back with a win against the home team. Where did Matt Lienert go? Am I missing something here?

San Francisco (+5)
Always go for your team. JTO'Forever.

Atlanta (+7)
I think Carolina can cover.

Tennessee (-3)
Al Gore is from Tennessee.

Green Bay (+1.5)
Cal represent! Aaron Rodgers has got this.

St. Loius (+8)
Yeah, after last week's game with Oakland, St. Louis can totally cover 8 points.

Oakland (+7.5)
I'm starting to become a believer. Don't get me wrong. I'll be niners fan for life, but Baaahhhhhyyy Areaaaa!

Washington (+11)
Yeah, Dallas won over Green Bay, but I think Redskins will do a better job. 11 points? That's too much. Tony is dating Jessica. I hope he is hung over game day.

Philladelphia (-3.5)
Go cheesest

Pittsburgh (-3)
um.... no idea.

dammit. i will never pick my teams when jack is sitting next to me.

Tennessee (-4.5)

St. Louis (+9)

San Francisco (-4.5)

Baltimore (-2)

Dallas (-3)


5 out of 16
