Why, God, Why?
Allow me to vent on a sports-related topic for a few minutes. *watches 95 percent of his audience leave*
So, I am in a fantasy baseball league with some friends of mine. Right now, we are in the final round of the playoffs, and I am playing in the third-place game. And, uh, I am also on the receiving end of a vicious ass whipping. It is just completely brutal right now.
About an hour ago, I came home to find a player I had benched, Evan Longoria, whom I usually play I might add, hit three home runs today. Why did I bench him? I have no clue. It was one idiotic decision to toss onto a host of brain farts I have made since the playoffs started.
To make a sports parallel, I would say my fantasy season has gone exactly like the Los Angeles Lakers' season this past year. I had a tenuous beginning (looking back on it, I had a horrendous draft -- good players in the beginning, but lots of shitty players at the end). However, I recovered by making some brilliant pickups in the free agent market (about half my team I picked up via free agency; all of them put together are basically my Pau Gasol trade). Then I started rolling through all opponents on my way to finishing third in the league during the regular season, and very close to second place (this is the Lakers' run to the NBA Finals).
This last month in the playoffs has essentially been my NBA Finals -- my team is every bit as crappy as the Lakers were against the Celtics. My first round match-up was the Lakers' two token wins against the Celtics (my offense played out of its mind, and I pulled some dirty tricks, pitching-wise, to secure my victory). My second round match and the final up to this point have been about as embarrassing as Game Four of the NBA Finals, except I never had a ginormous lead to lose. My pitching has stunk since the playoffs started (this is what I get for relying on a bunch of young, easily tired pitchers throughout the year), and apparently my staff has spread whatever vile disease it has to my hitters, because they now stink as well.
My offense is hitting .192 overall. My ERA is 11.20. How is this possible????? I should not be at all worked up, because this is, after all, fake, but I was having so much fun with it throughout the year, and now I want to become a serial killer. Which is, by the way, how the Lakers made me feel too.
In conclusion, if you are a person of faith, please pray for my team to not suck. kthx
EDIT: Oh yeah, Katana, I know you're a Cubs fan -- tell Ryan Theriot to stop being such a friggin' bum and actually play like the guy I traded for, plz. He's killing me.
tl;dr Movie Edition
Because my poor movie thread on OB is basically dead, I'll continue updates here. Um, and they normally won't be this long -- this is two weeks worth of updates here (and a bus...I Have Found the Holy Grail
While posting at The Third Revelation today, I stumbled upon this YouTube user who has uploaded a crapload of classic, amazing movies, a lot of which I have always wanted to watch. If you have the time, then you should definitely watch them as well.
Movies I have seen and liked:
-- To Kill a Mockingbird
-- The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
-- 12 Angry Men
-- Paths of Glory
-- Rebecca (if I remember correct, you are a big fan of the novel, right, Dagger?)
-- Laura
-- Arsenic and Old Lace
-- Sunset Boulevard
Movies I am interested in watching:
-- Stalag 17
-- Angels with Dirty Faces
-- It Happened One Night
-- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
-- It's a Wonderful Life (yes, I have actually never seen this before)
-- Lillies of the Field
-- The Great Escape
-- The Searchers
So, yes. I am a very happy person right now. <3
I am also a very busy person, haha. I've been doing stuff since I woke up this morning; pretty unusual. That probably won't stop until I go to bed tonight, haha. Oh well -- better to be busy than to have nothing to do. I'll be adding another entry to The Books of Moe later, but not until late in the night so that it appears in tomorrow's updates -- don't want to burn people (or myself lol) out on it too quickly, after all.
And I Will Strike Down Upon Thee With Great Vengeance and Furious Anger
So, to spark a bit more anime discussion on OB, I came up with this thread: The Anime Vengeance Scale. I think it's a good thread idea (certainly the best I have had in a long time, haha), and hopefully people will make some good contributions, HINT HINT.
Anyway, I'll be out most of the day hanging out with some friends -- will be back in time for the Anime Club, however. Looking forward to it! :D
And, as always, heed the Word of Moe.
I Have Found Religion
After long, thoughtful conversations in Chat, I have embarked upon what I believe is the most important journey of my life. I have been called to Duty -- I must spread the Word of Moe. That World shall be my vehicle. With the Books of Moe, we shall all know the Moe.
Some around have already felt the power of the Moe. I will acknowledge these fine people now.
-- Aceburner is my partner in spreading the Word of Moe. He, too, holds the Stories of Moe within him.
-- Desbreko helped with the interpretation of the Word of Moe by hearing the Ideas of Moe.
-- Michiyo Shimizu unearthed the Land of Moe from its many millenia of slumber.
-- Anomaly uncovered the Villain of Moe -- the Lord of the Fails.
-- SunfallE witnessed the creation of the first Story of Moe.
-- Indi, jomz, Lord Molletta and others were also there during the creation of the Word of Moe.
This is a project greater than myself. I hope to convert enough people to the Word of Moe so that Ace and myself can continue to interpret the Word of Moe in accordance to the wishes of the Lord of Moe.
Amen.
