bashton..
so im in boston for a week of trainin. its damn cold up here and ive actually begun usin gloves, a hat, and a scarf (i hate scarves). but the winds so bitter, i feel like i need a ski mask..
still, id rather freeze to death than die in swelterin heat..
over dinner tonite, i had a drink comprised mostly of bombay sapphire. now although i enjoy downin the alc, i still prefer wine and beer cuz ive yet to acclimate to the taste of liquor. but bombay is nice..
some good playoff games this weekend in the nfl. yeah, only one of four went down to the end but i luv watchin good defenses play. esp, the bucs--their speed is incredible. i luv defense..
and for a while, ive wondered why my heart is closer to defense than offense. i mean, i think scorin and bein in control (and hence, havin the upper hand) is great. but maybe its the stops--stuffin or preventin the scorin or the play to continue creates immense satisfaction..
plus if theyre good (football or basketball), the defense will dictate the offense. yeah..
so trainin today was okay. just the normal introductory/familiarizin oneself with the material. but sometime in the afternoon, i realized how much i actually enjoy programmin. okay, i dont wanna make it sound like its my absolute favorite thing in the world (hmm, i wonder wut is?). but i found it amusin wut a contrast it was from just a couple yrs ago when i first began w/ deloitte how much i wanted to get into the "business"/strategy side of things--how i so did not wanna be a lowly coder and be on the receivin end of barked instructions. but nowadays, i remember wut i thought was so coo and fascinatin in those first couple classes of my cps major. esthers right--i enjoy bein nostalgic..
it almost makes me wanna go do some work right now..
two sports notes:
- in their last two games, pittsburgh had two incredible two-pt conversion playcalls: 1) hines ward in as QB who handed (or tossed) the ball to antwann randle-el who began to run then threw the ball to jeremy tuman in the end-zone; 2) maddox back-lateralled to ward who passed to plaxico for two. wut awesome plays by mike mularkey..
- ive come to terms w/ the fact that everyone is right: scottie pippen should not be one of the 50 greatest. but i luv him cuz hes the kinda player youd want on your team. great team defender esp w/ those long arms and all-around offensive talent (albeit not a consistent scorer). but since mo cheeks moved him to the one, hes playin great and the blazers are winnin. he made a fantastic half-court bounce pass tonite--good vision and good sense of settin up the offense..
circle mar 25th, when jordan and pippen--the two dobermans--square off for the second and last time..
