So you may wonder what took so long...I'm sure you were all getting into my fantasy football discussions and constant banter about who to start and who to sit. Well I'll inform you here and now that I'm 4-4, sitting in 6th place in the league out of 12 total players. Not bad considering weeks 3 and 4 Drew Brees, my QB, had no TD's and then week 5 was his bye week. That forced me to pick up Mark Sanchez in the Monday night game vs. Miami. Sanchez performed o.k. He did have a TD, which would have been his second one of the game challenged by Miami and ruled that the receiver was out of bounds at the half yard line. Of course the jets decided to run it into the endzone and I was denied my 6 points for the extra TD.
I still do not have the internet at my house. This presents numerous challenges to living what I now consider a normal life. No porn, no job searching, no e-mailing, no fantasy footballing, no nothing. I have been relegated to an ancient time known only as the early nineties. While Carli and I hem and haw about what service to get time just slips bye. I am forced to use my local library's internet connection on a daily basis.
This is not all bad...libraries across America are under utilized and under funded resources that have been overlooked by many Americans in their quest for greater technology. The Excelsior branch is my local branch and it serves it's community very well from what I can see.
The place is always packed. I got here today at 10 am to do some interneting and already all 8 of the adult internet/word processing stations were full. Thankfully I brought my laptop with me this time and was able to log on that way to utilize the free wi-fi.
My biggest (and only) complaint about the library computer/internet system is the access. They have a certain number of children internet stations and a certain number of adult internet stations. I understand and appreciate the need to make sure there are always things available for children, but the hitch is that as an adult I can't sign on to a children's station to print or use word processing but children are allowed to log onto the adult computers and use the internet. What gets me about this system is that %98 percent of the time the kids on the adult computers are playing games over the internet.
About two days ago I was trying to use a computer to print a resume and there was a kid who had a game going on on his computer screen, was listening to headphones and reading a pokemon book. I mean come on! I was about to pull my hair out.
This leads me to my next point...I'm back on the podcasts. Now that my residence is safely back in SF for the time being I am a contributor once again to the KJ Boothcast. We have done three in a row now which is a level of consistency I can't remember matching in many, many moons.
Oh, check it out...
There are now 41 episodes posted, with number 42 coming in about an hour. It is currently being uploaded to the site...which also explains why I'm sitting in the library at 4 pm on a Thursday. I'm tired and looking forward to a nap once the upload is complete. Though I do need to start editing the show we just recorded.
For now I will leave with this, I need Drew Brees to score about 20 points every week to consistently win in my fantasy league, The Mike Singletary/49er boat is taking on water and in desperate need of a win this week vs. TEN at home. Think of it as one hole will be plugged with a win, I hate the Yankees, I hate them 27 more times than I used to hate them, and I used to hate them a lot, don't mistake this for like of the Phillies, I do not like the Phillies, at all, I just hate the Yankees, The city of San Francisco once again proved their inconsistent flip floppers that say they live by one idea and clearly vote on a different idea. See the future name of Candlestick park as proof of said flip flopping...when will the West Coast gets it's due in Sports? When?!
