Lazy Saturday

Well I'm back now. The hot chocolate was pretty tasty. I should start to study this afternoon. I don't really want to but when does studying ever sound appealing? I could go to the rec. I went there last night for the first time this semester. Joel and I played some pool and then went and played some basketball with Nick. My back doesn't hurt today so I must have not overdone it. Go me. No matter how fat I think I'm getting I'm still the lightest guy in my apartment. 160 pounds with shoes on, after an entire semester of eating like crap. We had weigh-ins at the rec last night and Joel came in at 176 and Nick came in at 195. I'm pretty sure we're all within 2 inches of each other in height as well.

Pistons Update: As you know we traveled to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors last night. It was back and forth the entire game and like usual we turned up the defense in the last few minutes. We didn't run away with the game but it just seems like the guys turn it up a notch in those last few minutes. Rasheed Wallace gave us some big buckets and came up with a key steal down the stretch and my man Chauncey Billups got a lay-up off that steal. We were up 4 in the last 9 or 10 seconds and Golden State hit a 3 pointer to come within one point. They started fouling us to stop the clock but we made our free throws and held them off. The very end made my heart skip a beat when Rasheed Wallace decided to make a full court pass to Ben Wallace.....I was hoping he wouldn't have it hit off his leg or arm or something and give Golden State the ball back but everything worked out and Ben caught it...took two steps and slammed it home. So we're up 3 with the last few seconds ticking off the clock and Golden State launches a 3 pointer from way back and................it just hits off the rim and the Pistons escape with a close victory to improve to 14-2. Way to go guys.

Red sox Rumor: I heard there might be a chance Boston might get Nomar Garciaparra back. Even though he's like the Grant Hill of baseball and gets hurt all the time I still would love to see him back in a Red Sox uniform.

After the game Joel, Tiff, and I watched Home Alone because we find that movie hilarious.....we watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation earlier in the day and that too is a classic Christmas movie. I fell asleep about half way through Home Alone and that was the end of my night.

Well it's time to start that studying. Happy Saturday everyone.

I'm starting to depend on you for sorting out what I want to know from the sport world. Do you ever waste your time with the Lions?

I do waste my time watching the Lions but posting about them would be extra depressing. It's amazing how they find new ways to lose all the time.
