Well, after leading by no less than 2 and mostly 3 games all season, Guze has tied it up with two weeks to go. What can I say. Manning sucked. The Colts sucked. And Delhomme and Steve Smith (Guze’s first two picks) scored almost as much as my entire team. I am going to be …

Pub Quiz -S02E02
Since I download a lot of TV episodes, I figured I would start naming our pub quiz visits the same way. S02E02 means “season two, episode two.” Try to keep up, I won’t repeat the instructions. In a nutshell: we had a great time. Ian didn’t get too drunk and yell things at the quiz …

Fantasy Football – Week 18
Okay. Now I really AM worried. It seems even a 3 game lead is not cushion enough against His Bigness. Guze beat me again this week, largely because I picked Mark Brunell (going against one of the best defenses) instead of picking Tom Brady (who is good against ANY defense) because I am just stupid. …

Pub Quiz – Season 2 Episode 1
So today was the first Murphy’s Pub Quiz of 2006, and the TOC was represent’in! 4th place. I thought we might get third, but alas. The theme for the evening was “events of 2005″. You’d think for news afficianados like us it would have been cake, but we had questions like: In what month did …

The Constant Gardner
Wow. What a great movie. I think this is the first film I’ve reviewed for 5 stars on the blog in the year and a half that I’ve been writing on it. The Constant Gardener is a powerful drama that blends character-driven story and political thriller in equal parts while using a bit of non-traditional …
