Easy Elite 8, Now With Extra Exclamations

Somehow three of y’alls picked EVERY single Final Four team correct. Somehow, one of those three was Jimyo! The one who got Utah and Ohio State confused he cared so little about college sports!!! Sheeeeesh! (Really, there’s no other word for it, is there?) =) See K, Jimyo got [...]

Sweet Sixteen Day 2

Last night, Steve and Yut called every game correctly. This year, you got rewarded if you picked completely safe and had the #1 and #2 seeds coming out of the Sweet 16, cos the only exception was Oregon, a #3 seed. Seriously, where’s the madness in that?! So yeah, I realized that [...]

Sweet(-ish) Sixteen Day 1

You know what I notice about this pool? Some of us always seem to do alright (misa! yut! lew!), most of us are middling, and maybe some of us do poorly (basically Jimyo, sorry dude, although YB is giving him a run for his money now), BUT THEN! Kitty and CT! What’s [...]

Round 2

Sorry for the slow updates, guys. I’ve been obsessively watching Bleach (anime series based on the manga) on YouTube — it’s just like when I was younger and I used to watch Asian series with my parents. It’d be like 50 tapes with multiple episodes per tape and once I got into it [...]

Alas, Maryland

Lew: 42 — all by himself at the top!
Yut: 40 — no faith in MD paid off, but no faith in the wrong Pac 10 team (UCLA) messed him up
misa: 39
Kitty, Yut’s brother: 37
me: 36
CT, Steve: 35
Seth: 31
YB: 30
Jimyo: 24 — exactly Lew’s score backwards!

Lots of really good games today, really close, strongly contested. [...]

Adelaide (and March Madness)

I put up photos from the Adelaide part of the trip finally (March Madness distracted me for a few days). But first, the scores after all the first round games:
Let me know if I made a calculation error somewhere. Otherwise,

Lew, Yut: 28
CT(!), misa: 27
Kitty, Steve, Yuhk: 25
me, YB: 24
Seth: 19
Jimyo: 16

Lew is totally [...]

CT Rocks(?)!

Well, after the first day’s worth of March Madness, CT is in the lead!!! She’s gone from tied for last in 2005 to fourth last year to currently first. Sheesh, just goes to show, picking based on your Sims’ names is a bad idea! Whatever your new scheme is, is good!
There they [...]

(Most of) The Usual Suspects

Here they are, everyone’s brackets! I know y’all have been checking my blog over and over all day for this, and I’m sorry I have a job this week, but what can ya do? As usual, I strong-armed (I love the imagery that conjures for some reason) almost everyone who’s playing into submitting [...]

Australia, Continued (Cairns still)

Since we wanted to snorkel for 2 days, we picked 2 different companies: Quicksilver and Tusa Dive.

The particular Quicksilver package we picked took us on a huge air-conditioned boat that carried hundreds of people and drove us out pretty far out to what looked like a permanent platform. There were lots of people who [...]

Bracketology 2007

Well on a completely separate topic, it’s that time of the year again: March Madness 2007! We got back just in time for Selection Sunday — totally planned that. Okay, no not really, but I am glad I’m not missing it. It’s still the funnest and most exciting yearly championship sporting event [...]
