So the Red Sox lost<\/a>, It was such a close game, until the end, and I drove home during that (when it went to 9-6) so it seems even closer. But both of the ALCS games so far I’ve actually watched instead of just happening to be able to see the glow from fenway. Tonight I was even out, at Emily’s<\/a> apartment<\/del> condo warming party. It was a fun party other than the game. Actually it was more interesting, in that 4 of the girls who at first sight appeared to be single were actually lesbians, lowering the number of single girls there by a large fraction :-\/. There was some public girl on girl make out action, I suppose that can make up for the lack of singles.<\/p>\n

There was good news in the sports world for me today though (just in the games I didn’t watch). That being:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. #3 Ohio State won<\/a> as expected without me even so much as checking to see if the game was going to be on TV here, although I doubt it was. With the rest of the results, it looks like OSU is once again going to be #1 in the AP poll, but I doubt the BCS will be that kind to us.<\/li>\n
  2. #17 Kentucky helped OSU out by knocking off #1 LSU<\/a>. Seems like this game was awesome and well deserving of being watched. I’ve got a cousin at Kentucky now, so theres an official reason to pull for them. Last week I pulled for LSU against those evil Florida Gators, even though a Florida win would have increased OSU’s ranking; its nice to see a team I actually kind of like knock of OSU, it feels better than if we’d needed the Gators to do it.<\/li>\n
  3. #2 California lost to Oregon State<\/a> also helping OSU out in the rankings. I must say these Oregon teams are making me happy this season, with this, and Oregon’s win over Michigan in week 2.<\/li>\n
  4. And the last one is just spiteful: Louisville topped #15 Cincinnati<\/a>. I am by no means a UC fan, so keeping them in the rightful place and out of the top 25 is appreciated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So where was I instead of watching college football? Well, at another activity 2002 me would not have guessed, playing board games. I arrived at the Game Until You Die party later than I wanted, but just in time for the 5th spot in a game of Puerto Rico, which I came in 3rd. It was good to play with new people, as I saw 2 new strategies that I can try on my usual play group, who was in the other room playing power grid. I’ve played Puerto Rico more times than I can count at this point, and I’ve never won, but I’ve placed 2nd many times, so I feel that I could be good, but it really is a great game, its so much fun and interesting even when 4 of you have accidentally let the 5th person run away with the game. So now that I’m remembering board games and football and not baseball I can goto bed smiling, which is exactly what I set out to do with this 2:20am post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
