Ok so I realize I have been slacking off a whole lot on the blog latley but the fact of the matter is outside of the house purchase things here are ulitmatley boring. So I apologize if this post becomes a wall of text. Speaking of the house, things took a little turn this week, when we orginally made our first offer we had set closing for June 27th (at the time we were under the impression that the apartments needed two months notice before we could move out, we found out later that wasnt the case) The sellers didnt really want that far of a closing so we were going to change it to May 30th, Well the selling agent never disclosed this to the owners so they were under the impression that we were still closing on the 27th so they made all there plans for then, So now we have to wait until June 27th to close, Not a huge problem but it could change our interest rate on the loan because it wont stay locked the whole time. And hopefully it gives the apartments extra time to rent out our place so we dont have to pay the extra money to get out of the lease.
On the sports front Sadly our beloved Gladiators fell in the second round of the playoffs though they did make it interesting forcing a game 5 after falling behind 0-2. They just couldnt close the deal on the road. But the Utah Grizzlies managed to pull the first round upset and hopefully can keep it going. My Mets right now are playing very lackluster, they just cant seem to get rolling for any extended streak, mostly due to hit and miss performances by the bullpen, but luckily all the other teams in the division are suffering the same problems so we are still right in the thick of it. The NHL playoffs are in full swing and with the Thrashers not even coming close to making it, I have reverted back to cheering for the Dallas Stars (back in the day the Utah Grizzlies were the farm team for the Stars so thats where the link comes) They took out the defending champion Anahiem Ducks in the first round and now have to face San Jose, the two teams met in the season finale and it turned into an all out brawl featuring 160 penalty minutes, should be a heck of a series. On to the NBA where Utah is looking very good in the first round winning the first two games on the road and coming home (where they were a league best 37-4) with a chance to close it out quick, They need to because the Lakers are having no trouble against Denver.
On the gaming front I have gotten back into Oblivion, I dont even remember why I stopped playing orginally but am loving the game once again, It is so huge I have put about 10 hours into my current character and havnt even played the main quest yet. The scope of the game is insane and you truly feel like you are in a living world where characters cary on their daily lives, regardless of wether or not you choose to interact with them. I am not normally an RPG fan but something about the Elder Scrolls has always felt different to me I guess its the freeform aspect of it, I played Morrowind wind for hours upon end and never even touched the main quest and now am doing the same with Oblivion. I know some of you enjoyed the MAME reviews when I was doing them and I plan to bring it back at somepoint, I just havnt been motivated to do them properly latley and didn't want to put a lackluster effort out there.
As some of you know Sam and I love stand up comedy and we have bunch of shows coming up, Tonight we went to see Josh Blue, some of you may know him, he actually won NBC's Last Comic Standing. He was an absolute treat to watch and really played off the crowd well, that is one thing I love to see when going to the smaller clubs is how the comics react to the crowd. Blue touched on the fact that some people see his disability and automatically think he is mentally handicaped too, but watching him on stage you realize he is probably smarter than most so called "normal" people in the world. At one point he did a q&a with the audience, I asked him what the best part of Last Comic Standing was to wich he of course said "Winning", he also said that he became really good friends with everyone on the show. Coming up we have Gabriel Igliases (who we saw before and LOVED), Raphie May (love his stuff but missed him live when he came last) and the big one Eddie Izzard....We have loved Eddie for years and are so happy that he is touring and actually stopping in Atlanta, as soon as we found out we jumped on it (for my Utah folks the closest he gets is Phoenix, Vegas or Denver can you say ROAD TRIP?)
Guess that will do it for now....Ill try to be better about updating even if it is boring as hell LOL
