My Sister: The Fantasy Pimp
Let's say that you invite someone over to your house. You would hope that person would respect your home. I am guessing that you would appreciate it if said person asked before getting food from your fridge, or watching your TV, or using up the last of your toilet paper. How would you feel if that person just raided your pantry and ate all your double chocolate Pop Tarts. What if that person fired up your XBOX and finish all your games and then saved it, so your couldn't go back and beat it yourself. What if they laughed at you about it, "Haha, I don't ever like video games." Bullshonkey!
That's how I feel. I try to be nice. I invite my sister to play some fantasy sports with guys. So, she goes and wins all but one of our leagues. Earth to my sister, you don't like football, please stop being so damn awesome. "I don't even like football, you all suck." Well thanks for reminding us. I should strap you down and make you listen to the audio version of Skin by Ted Dekker as read by Gilbert Gottfried.
Maybe that's a little harsh. Maybe just read by Fran Drescher.

Best of 2007
Start the year off right, with a post.
Last year I did a list of the best books, music, and movies. I am going to do things a little bit different this year. I am going to do best of 07, "Dumb Stuff" style! What I mean by that is, there will be weird categories, like Best Prank Call. Also, if I do a best of 2007 movie or book, it doesn't unnecessarily mean that said movie or book came out in 07, it just took me to 07 to get to it. Let's begin.
Best Movie
Without question, Pan's Labyrinth. Dark, violent, and satisfying. Not because it was dark or violent, but because it was a perfectly told story. It was dark where it needed to be. It was violent where it needed to be. It was brilliantly acted. It stayed with me long after I finish watching it. Great movie.
Best CD
The Reminder by Feist. Not to toot my own horn... well actually, to toot my own horn, I was listening to Feist long before she did that iPod commercial. Granted her last album was no where near as good as this one. There are a few songs that suck, like Sea Lion, but for the most part the album is wonderful.
Worst Book Concepts
Manliness books. Books written by dudes that think it is manly to act like a moron. I forgot the title of the book, but it was something to the effect of The Handbook to Manliness. It features illustrated instructions on how to properly punch another man in the balls, head butt a woman in the breast, and how to grope a random woman at a concert. Classy stuff. If I saw a dude randomly groping unsuspecting women, I would use the punch in the balls techniques on dude.
Best Video Game
NHL 08. The best sports game in years! Flawless in gameplay, great graphics, and tons of play modes. The only not perfect thing about this game is the presentation. But as long as the game plays great, I not be carin'.
Best Prank Call
Normally when I prank call a friend, I assume that they will know it is me right away. So, I usually go for funny over actually trying to trick them into thinking it is real.
Enter Jason, a new friend from work.
We both work together and we both have voice mail at work. A recipe of awesome.
I was at the house one evening when I had this great idea for a prank call. I called him, again, totally assuming that I would be busted as soon as I started speaking, and left a voice mail for him. I did a Kip from Napoleon Dynamite voice for this one.
It went a little something like this.
Yes Jason, this is Felix. I called you last week about setting up an account with you. We had a good talk. I told you that I liked figure skating and you said you liked it too. I told you my favorite skater was Michelle Kwan, and you said your was Danny Bonaduce. I thought this was cool and you sold me some stuff.
Well come to find out, after doing some research on your favorite skater, I found out the Danny Bonaduce was an actor on the Partridge Family. So you lied to me!
Now usually when I make a prank call, if my cover isn't blow right from the get, it gets blown when I mention Danny Bonaduce. Anyway, he didn't know it was be until the very end. After a good laugh we did that only thing left to do. Play it for out supervisors and pretend it was real. They both bought it. It was great.
Last on Board Award...
...goes to me finally reading Harry Potter. Well not reading technically. I did check out the audio books from the library and listen to them on a few trips we took this year. Yes they are great, but I am not hooked like other people. I have gone through the first six books. I am waiting for the library to get the last book back in. If I were truly hooked I would have read my wifes copy of the last book by now.

Best Book
I said it last year, I don't really read books in the year they come out. That being said, I don't know what the best book I read was this year. So, here are some highlights.
Knight Life by Peter David
War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card
Tears of Artamon Trilogy by Sarah Ash
Last Colony by John Scalzi
Ok, that's it. I going to bed. Happy New Year.

Fantasy Update
I have 2 fantasy hockey teams, 2 basketball teams, 2 football teams, and 3 Pick em' style teams.
You may ask, "How do you handle all that fantasy?"
Easy, I just do them at work. Well, that is until my management team decided we should be working at work and not surfing the internet. Whatever!
The problem isn't so much with Football teams, but the basketball and hockey I need to log on everyday and make sure I have my rosters set. That's easy when you have all the time in the world at work. But now I have to do it from home. It's not all that much worse, but it's easier to make sure that you fantasy team is running at it's fullest capabilities when you have time to do he research.
Oh well.
Last year I won my Fantasy football league. This year, I am overall first in my league going into the playoffs, which only means that I have a bye week in the first round. So I have to win two more games in a row, and I will repeat as champion. Good luck to me. Here's looking at you, ROMO!

Happy Thanksgiving
Hey look over here, I'm posting.
Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!
My Thanksgiving featured turkey, homemade bread, sweet potato casserole, jell-o and strawberry soup, Stove Top stuffing, mashed potatoes, wine, water, green beans, dog bites, blood, Wii Bowling, and YouTube favorites.
Turkey was good, but I had to carve it. So, it ended up in a bunch of little pieces.
Homemade bread was also good. But I attempted to cut a slice for my sister. See comments about me carving turkey.
Sweet potato casserole was great. I was a little concerned about it considering that my sister made it and not my mom, but it turned out great.
Jell-o and Stawberry soup should have been a jell-o mold, but when I tried to take it out of the jell-o mold, well... once again see comments about me carving turkey. That's right little pieces.
You can't screw up Stove Top, it comes in little pieces!
Didn't eat the mashed potatoes.
Wine was so/so.
Water... don't really know what to add to that.
Green beans = Good
My sisters dog bit my brother.
Blood from the dog bite.
Wii Sports Bowling is still awesome.
And finally, me and my brother showed each other some of our favorite videos from YouTube.
That sums it up.
I would like to now say something off the topic of Thanksgiving. It has been a significant amount of time since I last posted. Me not blogging tends to be a bit of problem and I am tired of coming up with ways to insult myself about it. I don't know if I can keep this promise or not, but I will do my best to not mention my lack of blogging. I will just pretend that it is business as usual. Not that you care, being some one who doesn't actually exist. Unless your my wife, sister, or Von Urrich. You guys exist. J-Diggy Out!

End of Eternity
YES!!!
Baseball season is over! HELL YEAH! That crap takes for ever. All those crappy baseball highlights coming on when I am trying to get my nightly sports update. I am so glad.
Not only that, but NBA season starts tomorrow. I won't be getting the NBA league pass, just because I don't have enough time to watch it and the NHL Center Ice. My Sonics are going to suck. Then, once they are done sucking they are going to move to Oklahoma. Jerks!
Now is the best time to be a sports fan. My three favorite sports are going on all at the same time.
With that, I am in way too many fantasy leagues. Basketball, Hockey, Football, and er.. um.. nascar. I was just experimenting! Geez. Well if it makes you feel better I suck at Fantasy Nascar. I also guilt tripped my sister and my friend Mark in to playing Fantasy Nascar with me. I know when I look at my fantasy profile, and I see that Nascar on there, it makes me slightly embarrassed. Unfortunately it is on there for good now. Oh well, live and learn.
I HATE BASEBALL! I'm glad its over for now. WOOT!

Any Old Thing
Just to prove to you Dumb Stuff addicts that I am really back. I thought I would just write about the first thing that comes to my mind. We all know how dangerous that can be.
Watching the NHL!
I know it's like me and three other people watching, but it's still really fun. I also shelled out the money to get the NHL Center Ice package that gives me all the games. Let's face it, VS. airs about two games a week, and NBC airs about two games all season. So the only way I can get some games is to pay for it. Last season NBC cut away from a playoff game that was going to overtime, just to go to horse racing pregame. That's bullshonkey!
Bullshonkey!
Bullshonkey is my new curse word. Feel free to use it as much as you want. I want to see it in the dictionary. I also want to see kids get detention for using it. How awesome would it be to be the guy who coined a new curse word.
Not Going to the Theater
I haven't really gone to the movies in a while. The last movie I saw in a theater was Transformers, and that was in the dollar theater.
I have been watching movies on DVD.
Blades of Glory Sucked!
Pan's Labyrinth was awesome, but may be an acquired taste. Very violent and weird.
Office Season 3 is, as always, great.
Well, that's it for me... so go away. It may be another month before I post.
For being a random post, I think you got off easy.
