Goddamn, Harvard just lost by 2 points to North Carolina.
Hello everyone. Many congrats to our Maple Family.
I saw The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this past weekend. It was enjoyable but could have used two or three fewer plotlines and more Maggie Smith. There was good amount of her but there can always be more.
Not that I plan on telling her this, but I realized this week that explaining how to work certain computer programs to my co-worker--who is only 6 or so years older--is a lot like explaining things to my mom, who is 71. "Put the cursor on the blue icon in the top right corner. No, not the middle, the top. Don't click that!"
I haven't participated in a pool in several years. The problem is that picks are based more on logic, but I root based on my heart/pulling for the underdog. Enjoying the outcomes = not winning the pool.
Plus, 5 years ago, I had the most amazing first weekend--I got 13 Sweet Sixteen teams right, and then everything fell apart the second weekend. Made me less interested in pools since then.
I rely half on logic, half on geographical bias. Plus my pals and I always see who can come up with the best punny basketball related name for our brackets.
It's like baby at the moment, one of my friends had her first yesterday and I'm heading to a 1st birthday part on sunday.
Its week two of the netball season and my body is already sore, I don't know how I ever make it through a whole season. Umpiring a game at 9.30pm is crazy but I just can't say no to the money. I've been sick most of this week which is really crap but one of my good friends has been doing a full Parks rewatch from season 1 (she has never season it) and has been texting me quotes from the show all week which has been really great. All my Parks merch has now arrived so that's a little sad but I have so much stuff now its a bit crazy. My task this weekend, get the boyfriend to have a haircut and a shave, he's starting to look like he should be living in a cabin in the woods.
Driving home tomorrow morning. Getting a haircut (how short should I go), going to do my taxes, participate in a charity trivia contest (I play to win!) and I'll probably make my parents watch Guardians of the Galaxy and eat a lot.

I think almost every team I picked to win today has lost. So...yay.

Yeah, that would put a damper on that for me too!
