UngsungBlog: A (Fantasy) Sports Blog

Man, I really have to start blogging more often!  With (fantasy) football season starting in two days, basketball season around the corner, and the baseball pennant chase in full swing, I don’t have an excuse to NOT blog at least once a day!

(Can I blame the lack of blogging on the heat?)

- How hot has it been in recent days?  It was so hot on Sunday night/Monday morning, I woke up to find white lines all over my black shirt.  I had a pretty bad headache that morning, and my tongue was really dry.  Now I see why Gatorade made Gatorade AM.  I must have gotten three hours of sleep that night (at best), and probably no more than ten total hours for the entire weekend.

I don’t think I’ll be going back to Monterey Park any time in the next, oh, three months

On Monday, my dad decided to cook for Labor Day.  What did he make?  A huge pot of curry!

Now, I love my curry.  I usually don’t eat spicy foods, but I don’t mind a spicy red curry.  Heck, even a mild to medium yellow curry hits the spot.  Well, curry’s great…when it’s not a billion degrees outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ate my bowl of curry right next to a fan.

- Later in the day, our automatic ice maker went on the fritz!

(Didn’t I mention I was having a bad few days?)

We had to make an ice run, and the local 7-11 sold out of ice.  We swung by CVS and got some, and stupid me forgot my ECBs!  I could have bought another stick of deodorant, or a tube of toothpaste!

(Tangent:  I went through some of my old coupons, and found more coupons for Adidas deodorant, Colgate toothpaste, and Speed Stick deodorant, the last of which will go on sale next week!  Yay for even more CVS freebies!)

On the way home, I spotted my aunt walking on the sidewalk.  We U-turned, headed back, and guessed that she had gone into the CVS.

(Tangent:  She had some guts to walk around in that heat!)

We went back in, spotted her, realized how nice the A/C was in the store, and followed her around for a few minutes.  We then left, dropped her off, and went back home with the slowly-deteriorating ice.  As soon as I brought the bag of ice into the house, it was pretty much all horded by everybody.  That glass of ice water that I had might have been the best tasting glass of water that I’ve ever consumed.

Fortunately, it appears that temps are starting to drop.  Hopefully this will be the end of my heat-related rants.

- So I’m signed up for five Fantasy Football leagues (one being the BargainShare league), and I’ve drafted in two of them.

Here’s the draft results of my latest draft, held at Yahoo! Sports.  I’m quite happy with my first two picks, and pissed off that I was pretty much forced to take a WR with my third pick.  I also don’t like the idea of having to depend on Donovan McNabb, but I was VERY happy to land Chicago’s defense in round 6 (thanks to those few picks that were ahead of me…Shayne Graham?  Indy’s Defense???)

By the way, please ignore my 13th pick

Until next time!
