Watched my Oregon State team beat Utah into the ground last night, as the college game gets into gear. It was a 24-7 final score, which is a good start to the season. Next up: at Cincinnati on national TV next Thursday.
Season 4 airs in 4 weeks, and they're shooting up in the Canadian wilderness for this location shoot for "Harmony", which is slated to be the 17th episode for the season. Of course, I'm talking Atlantis here. Wonder what Joe's going to write next... I'm becoming quite the pinball player. Taking the weekend off from job hunting, but have a couple of postings that I'm interested in. That's all for now.

August 27th
This is intended to be a weekday blog. Every Monday, I'll post how my weekend went and upcoming things I'm looking forward to for the week.
Right now, it's my birthday. I'm celebrating by listening to Journey on my Winamp player. Talked to my dad, who sounded like a bad Internet connection when he sang Happy Birthday. My dad cracks me up sometimes. Waiting for Mom to call. It could be a while, though. My friend will call after she gets off work tonight after 7. Can't wait for that.
My weekend was good. Full of golf, sleep, football and The Lord of The Rings trilogy, which was on TNT this weekend. I'm almost ready to spend Sundays in bed. That happens when the regular season starts in two weeks. College football starts this week. My Beavers play Thursday night with the first full Saturday being the 1st of September. Go Beavers! More tomorrow.

August 24th
This is what summer should be. Good (free) food, friendly people, and preseason football. Too bad Jonathan's (my friend and caretaker) not here to enjoy it yet! I had to call him as a reminder, but I usually give him a break. Oh, did I mention how addicting Tetris is? Anyway, off to eat my free food (including cake!)
First Post
Well, it's my first post. Welcome to my inner world.
I suppose it should be pointed out that I turn 31 on Monday. And while I'm stuck in Portland, Oregon (where I live), I'd rather be in California with my best friend celebrating with her. Oh, well. Life's no picnic for me. I'm fairly sure that while I have a degree in Geography, I lack the experience necessary to get a job in the field. With that in mind, I'm working on an alternative that plays to my strengths (or vices).
What are they, you ask? Over time, they will be revealed. For now, I'll reveal two: Sports and Stargate (the series franchise).
I am a huge sports fan. Can't get enough sports. Football season is almost here. Baseball is on the stretch run for the playoffs. Basketball, which my roommate hates, is in the offseason for another 6 weeks.
Fantasy wise, I have two fantasy football teams going this year to make up for a faulty computer which caused me to go 5-8 last year (not bad after an 0-4 start). I'll make up for it this year, though. As far as basketball fantasy goes, we'll see. My usual option was taken out three years ago, although I had a pretty successful five year run. I don't do baseball now and probably won't do it again. A 162-game season with very little breaks is too much for me to handle. There was a period of two years where I did do it, but now...
Now for my second vice, and a pretty strong one at that. Stargate. Own everything from the movie to the final season of SG-1. Atlantis, too. With season 3 coming out in September (18th to be precise) to DVD and season 4 arriving on Sci-Fi channel on the 28th, I'm pumped. I must admit the commercials are going to be a pain, since I have everything on DVD. I wonder, with the production of season 4 winding down, if there will be a season 5.
It will be interesting to see one of my favorite actresses adjusting from what was an earth-based series (SG-1) to an outpost in another galaxy (Atlantis). It's funny, because this actress and I, while 11 years apart, are a day apart in birthdays. I have not met her and, unless there's a twist of fate, will never meet her.
Um, that should read not. "Never say never" as the saying goes. I'll leave it to you to figure out who this actress is...
