i beat kary at wii darts

Yeah that's right.

Wii darts.

It may have taken a little longer than I would have liked, but I found my game. And by found my game I, of course, mean a game where I'm the champ and shes the runner-up. Maybe one day I can say the same thing about Wii bowling. My advice? Don't hold your breath.

Rocky hates the Wii: Years and years of playing fetch have conditioned Rocky to run when he observes my arm in the throwing motion. Well this presents a real problem when he's in the room during Wii time. At first he was just running and not being able to "find" what it is that he thought I was throwing. After that comes frustration. I suppose he can blame me for that one. He takes after his owner who tends to get frustrated rather easily. So next up came the barking. Yeah the barking isn't as great as you might think.

Well I guess I can't complain that much. At least he doesn't bother me while I'm playing. The same can't be said for Kary. He loves to get up in her grill and really play some killer defense. Sorry 'bout your luck!

Random Sports thoughts from the weekend:

Arsenal - They put on a clinic for about 20 minutes in the first half where they looked like the best team ever. Of course that's nothing new. They do that all the time. The problem is that it often results in zero goals. Luckily their offensive onslaught netted 2 goals. So here we are five games into the season and they find themselves top of the table. My advice? Keep it up b/c Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man U will eventually come calling. Thanks.

Florida State - I love how they just let Wake Forest own them. It's unbelievable that we live in a world where FSU can't even score a touchdown at home against the Demon Deacons. Wake is a legit football school and I think it's pretty cool. I love the misdirection.

Redskins - They are showing a lot better after that first game stinker. It's crazy to think that after 5 games they will have wrapped up their divisional road games. They have already lost 1 of those games so, unless they plan on winning all of their home games in the division, they better try and get a split out of @Dallas and @Philly.

Penn State - When do they play somebody with a pulse? It's cool to see Royster doing well with 7 touchdowns and nearly 100 yards a game, but it's nearly impossible to figure out if they are worthy of a top 12 ranking.

The Irish - Well the boys found out what happens when you on the road against a rival and turn the ball over. You simply can't beat a team with similar talent and expect to win on the road. I expect them to bounce back and take care of Purdue but it would be cool if their young guns would grow up fast this fall.

USC - The best game of the weekend that not too many people had the privilege of seeing was probably the practice sessions out in Southern California. Imagine what their perimeter drills were like. I'm guessing that they are somewhere between sick and very sick.

United - I've been worried for awhile now and it's looking like I had my reasons. Hey there's a reason Kary and I didn't stay at Kilroys to eat our dinner. Why stick around for the 11pm start when you know what's coming? Watching the game the next morning was more than enough. Tom Soehn is an idiot and playing in these international tournaments is a waste of time with a $1.2M salary cap. Oh and Gallardo is made out of glass. Perfect.
