Hoooray Today is Friday
So its FINALLY Friday. It has been an especially long week of training for me here at work. Boring, mind numbing training, but at least I got some free lunch out of it. That's all finished, and now I am looking forward to a gambling filled weekend! I'll be heading down to Casino Niagara with some friends, and it should be an intersting weekend of card playing and sports betting. I'd play craps too, but after an unfortunate incident at the World Series of Dice (damn you Quills), I'll be setting on the sidelines.
Last night's NCAA tournament was awesome. 2 buzzer beaters back to back in the late games...what I finish! Too bad my bracket is totally destroyed now, but what the hell, I am terrible at picking NCAA games anyway.
I basically locked up my Fantasy Hockey Pool last night with a huge 20+ point performance from my team, putting me safely ahead by at least 100 pts over my fantasy rival Mr. Ben Ford. I've battled Ben from football to hockey, and honestly, I can say that Ben and my buddy Chueeey are the only people that push me as hard as possible in the relm of fantasy sports. Another great season of competition.
So the OC was iffy again last night. You would think brining back yet another hot chick (Jess) would spur the show forward, but it hasn't. In fact, I think the OC has shattered every hot girl per minute of a TV soap, and still things are floundering. Marissa and Volchuck? Really, Josh Schwartz? You couldn't think of an even more random set of people to put together? Let me guess, Marissa is going to start drinking again because of Volchuck, Ryan will have to come to the rescue, destroy his relationship with Sadie, but in the process realize that he really does love Marissa. Julie and Dr. Roberts won't end up getting married, and everyone will be happy until Teresa comes back with Ryan's baby and ruins everything. That is what is going to happen with the show. Here is what I think should happen: Season 4 should be planned as the summer of senior year, then the possibilities will be endless. Marissa, Summer, Sadie, and Taylor will be able to prance around in bikinis for entire episodes at a time (90210 anyone?), while the gang gets into FUNNY and AMUSING adventures, with some serious story arcs once a month. After season 2's way too ADD story arcs (Marissa enters and ends her lesbian adventure in 4 episodes? WAY TOO SHORT), this season's protracted Johnny storyline has been painful at best, and basically the current Marissa/Ryan storyline is still feeling the Johnny repercussions. Look season one was great because it was able to mix humour and drama effectively, the OC seems to have lost the touch when it comes finding this balance, so let's hope that Josh Schwartz starts doing whatever drugs he needs to, so we can get back to OC episodes where I don't feel taken advantage at the end of the hour!
