Sunday : 11 December 05
I slept in today – I didn’t get up until nearly 11:30. It was divine. I didn’t even watch any of the early games. Instead, I patrolled Paragon City. After a while, I headed to ‘s to watch the Ravens game.

Football Update

Baltimore at Denver
10- 12
The boys from Charm City flew into the Mile High City to take on Mike Shanahan’s Broncos. It wasn’t a pretty game, by any stretch of the imagination. Neither was the final score.

I’m going to put a lot of the blame for today’s loss on Kyle Boller. While he’s shown some promise and maturity over the past couple of games, today… he just couldn’t seem to pull it together. He was too erratic. At times, he looked like a poised, seasoned NFL quarterback; other times, he looked like a panicky rookie. He turned the ball over three times – two poorly thrown interceptions and a fumble.

In other football news:

  • – The Colts are now 13 – 0.
  • – The Bengals beat the Browns. ‘Grats, … sorry !

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt
This morning, I went on a couple of missions, fighting Tuatha de Danaan, in Croatoa. I found an old partner of mine – along with a couple of other heroes – and we ventured into the sewers below Salamanca. There were a lot of Tuatha to be dealt with. And they weren’t exactly in the mood to move along quietly. So, a lot of fighting ensued. We finished the mission and were then asked to rescue hostages from an office building that had been overrun by Fir Bolg and Tuatha. (Sidenote: If you see a… pack/herd/whatever of Tuatha running in the direction of the Fir Bolg that you are currently fighting, get out of the way quickly.) We rescued the hostages and cleared the building of the Fir Bolg and Tuatha.

Stray Toasters

  • As of last night, I’ve been wearing a pink (“It’s like red, but not quite…”) breast cancer awareness bracelet in support of a friend.
  • I may have to remove the word “never” from my general vocabulary, at least when referring to things that I do not think that I would do. When companies started making plastic bracelets to signify any and everything, I said that I would never wear one. But, here I am wearing one. And a pink one, at that.

    Just like I said that I would never move to (someplace like) Utah.
    Or that I would never shave my head.

    Yeah… I think that I need to put “never” on a “Special Use Only” list.

Quote of the Day
The Detroit-Green Bay game was a bit… lackluster, so we flipped back and forth between it and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. One of the home makeovers was for a veteran who had lost both of his legs. One of the commercial bumpers showed the soldier at a Veteran’s Hospital, talking with another amputee and they were comparing their prostheses:

Me: “My leg’s better than your leg!”
: *look of incredulity* (She thought that I was talking about my leg versus their prosthetics…then she realized that I was doing a “voiceover” for the show.)
: “Oh. They were showing off their parts to each other.”

Namaste.
