RANDOMATION: "MLB Predictions, Double Bonus Week, and More!"

Hi everybody, and welcome back to the Kingdom. Sorry I’ve been MIA of late, I guess I don’t have a good excuse for not posting other than laziness/busy-ness. Although, the last week has been confusing, leading to an Adam who didn’t feel like writing.

<>That being said, Opening Day 2005 has come and gone, thank God, and the most beautiful day of the year, thus far, in Pittsburgh was witness to the ugliest game I’ve seen the Pirates play for a long time. Think about that statement, for a moment, and you’ll realize why I don’t want to talk baseball right now. Yes, folks, it took them two games to turn me against them.<>

But, in the interest of getting on the record, I though I’d indulge you all with my MLB picks. Hopefully I go more into depth someday soon. Also, for the record, there’s a particularly adorable girl in the Lexis lab right now, who I’ve never seen before. She must be a 1L. If someone would like to join me on the fourth floor of the law building, I could use a point-man about now. (Don’t you just love it when I post stream-of-conciously?)

Okay, baseball, baseball, catch the fever now. Quick predictions!

<>There you go! Hope you enjoyed those. I’d seriously consider the Twins, but everyone has a boner over them right now, although they do seem to be built for October.

That being said, I’m going to go enjoy the rest of DOUBLE BONUS WEEK, including tonight’s 3L Party, where Yours Truly will be participating in a Pop Culture Trivia Championship. Here’s hoping the questions are heavy with comic books and science fiction. If music’s heavily involved, I’m screwed. Oh well, at least maybe I can win another MP3 play. The iPod shuffle would be SWEET.

Be good to each other, and discuss Double Bonus Week. DBW is, quite simply, that first week of the spring when the warm weather gets the ladies a-wearin’ their tank tops, shorts, skirts, etc. My theory is (that with obvious exceptions for the unhelpable) EVERY girl gets 2 bonus points based solely on the fact that guys just haven’t seen skin for SO long, that the ladies get rewarded. If a ‘6’ comes waltzing through the bar in some short-shorts, (or one of those OH SO HOT short frilly skirts) she’s automatically an ‘8’ and gets a second look. Seriously, ask any guy. They’ll agree.

<>Alrighty, that should do for now. I’ll be back later maybe with some drunken ramblings, or tomorrow as I decide whether to reflect on the week that was, or not, because I’m still kind of pissy about certain things. <>

Cryptic enough for ya?
Be good,
