Simba - Desktop080702

Hulu, TiVo and Fantasy Football

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 25, 2009, 10:05 AM
  • Mood: Anger
  • Listening to: "Empire State" by Jay Z
  • Reading: Macworld (Great Setups Under $300)
  • Watching: Football (It's Sunday. SUNDAY!)
  • Drinking: Simply Grapefruit

Well, quite a bit of time has passed since my last post. I thought I would make a quick comment as to why I have been a little scarce lately. Of course, it would be easy to blame my absence on real world challenges like work, bills, or social engagements, but the truth is that I have been lazy! You know ... watching TV, laying on the couch, and cursing at the computer on weekends because of damn fantasy football!

Seriously, I don't have time to watch TV like normal people, so I have to catch up with services like Hulu. To borrow a line from Guinness - BRILLIANT!

After catching up on things I missed, I am fortunate to have TiVo on every television. This makes it so much easier to catch up on things I miss while I'm watching the stuff I didn't TiVo in the first place. I should also point out that for all you TiVo owners out there with Netflix accounts, you really should look into the instant download boxes so you can watch movies from your queue on your television instead of your laptop. $99 well spent!

And just because this seems like a calm, rant-free post, I need to say a word about fantasy football. What crazy person came up with such a concept? I must admit, I am one of the "less obsessed" fans, but this week as I was making my picks for one of the 4 leagues I am in, I missed a time deadline by SECONDS and was not allowed to submit picks at all!. SECONDS! If I'm being honest with myself, THAT was single motivation for me to move my ass to the computer, and the reason I am posting now. I am so pissed about this that I could take someone's head off!

I know, I know. Many of you are saying "Dude ... the rules are that blah, blah, blah" or some other crap! Don't quote logic to me when I am trying to make an irrational point about a seemingly insignificant exercise like fantasy sports! The bottom line is that if the feeling I am experiencing now is one that people with important decisions to make would feel when they miss a deadline, we all would have many fewer problems.

And to my fellow fantasy football lovers over at Nerd Football, I was coming for your asses this week! You can bet I won't miss the submission deadline again bitches. :furious:

OK...I'm through rambling. If you are new to DA, welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as I have. :nod:

Hey Simba! Looks like you don't get on much here these days, but I thought I'd say hi anyway.

I found your page by clicking someone who had visited my page, and saw you were the last person to leave a comment on their page, and that you said you found them by hitting the random deviant button!

So! Hope all's well and that you don't stay away too long. DA is heaps of fun!

I like the idea of chocolate cake better than the cake itself.
