Catching up on a few things

From my fun conversation with Matt yesterday as I caught him up with the sports world of the last year (and, to a smaller extent, the last five years): "You realize you're starting every sentence with, 'Well, you know what happened with LeBron, right?' or 'Well you know the story with Brett Favre, right?' or 'You know who Rex Ryan is, right?' or 'Of course, they won the World Series last year, you knew that, right?' Why don't we just skip right to your second sentence and take each point from there."

I don't think I'll ever let my sports knowledge get so bad!

In other news, I finally got to Sensenti today to mail a letter to Grandma, go to my banking agent (3 times, since the first time he didn't have money and the second time he didn't have enough), stop at the plastics store (got a plate but they didn't have ice cube trays), print stuff and use the internet (at first, pretty fast but without Flash so mostly useless but they did do an OK job of printing without robbing me too badly), copy what I printed (very cheap to copy here, about 3 cents), eat lunch, and hang out with Matt. It was a good day, made possible so early because my morning meeting with Profe was canceled. We rescheduled for tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

Finally, congratulate me for winning some money! I successfully picked 12 NFL games this week (with spreads!) and won the Soldano pool! It definitely makes up for me losing their suicide in the first week and...the money sounds like a LOT LOT LOT when translated into lemps. Small consolation for missing another fall weekend, though...

So how much did you win in the pool? What did you need to buy a plate for?

I won $75! Already a profit, since it was $50 to get in (and $10 for the suicide that I already lost haha). I won one week last year, so I guess my new goal this year is to win two weeks! It's really hard but lots of fun. Anyway, it's over 1,400 lempiras! More than enough for a month's rent at my own house here, among other things...
