Pwnd!
Just watched a massive failure on the steelers part (sry bri and col) to try and win this game against the Ravens. Although [insert Steelers 3rd string qb] is no JaMarcus Russell, he didn't make the plays they needed in OT and thus Pwnd!
On a Thanksgiving note: my family came up to Philly this year and we spent many a day and night wining and dining in spectacular Philadelphia fashion. Matt is now the tallest member of my family surpassing Mike by a smidge which is ridiculous and he's getting pretty sick at bball too. Considering he attends Christ School, ranked #11 in a pre-season high school bball ranking, and most of the guys he plays with are 6'7" and taller, this is not a surprise. Mike and Matt stayed at the Cioce mansion whilst my parents stayed with various family members until last night where they deposed me of my bed and i ended up on a futon alternating various ways of not sleeping all night. Overall it was a pretty good week with much food and drink to be had although thats not how it started . . .
Chapter 2. The Fire
So last weekend we hosted a Thanksgiving party for friends which was to culminate in large quantities of food, wine, women and football. All of these were attained in spectacular fashion although the food started getting out of hand and we ended up with about 6 leftover pies but I digress. We deep-fried 2 large turkeys for the festivities, amazing if you haven't had it, and although this was enough for the 40 people in attendance we had a leftover turkey. Monday night rolls around and we need to eat this thing so we decide to cut it up and fry it in pieces in our kitchen. Add the peanut oil and slowly heat and everything is going great. Just about to add the turkey and B00M! the oil (no turkey added) goes up in a massive flame. My roommate goes for water and I yell at him to stop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj5ex0cDTUs&feature=player_embedded#) so he backs off and grabs the extinguisher and after a brief eruption of flame from the initial spray he puts out the fire. This was definitely as close as I've ever gotten to a out of control fire and if that water had been added we would be looking for a new house to rent. Check out my pics on facebook to see the damage.
These could probably all be separate posts but I'm on a roll so I'll just add one more thing. So I have been on and off dating this girl Audrey since the summer and a few weeks ago I met another cute girl Meg. Since the Audrey thing wasn't really doing much I decided to pursue Meg and she ends up giving me her number and we go out a couple times etc. So things are going good with Meg and Audrey as neither have really gotten serious and for the most part I have kept things separate. Then Kyle enters the picture. Contrary to my roommates ball-busting Kyle is a chick and a cute one at that. I went out to a friends show, the band was terrible btw so I won't bother with the myspace, and she's a friend of a friend so long story short we hook up, I get her number and then we start going out. So starting about 3 weeks ago I have been micro-managing these three relationships at a time and I have to say it's severely overrated. I feel like Alex would enjoy this kind of thing but to be honest I really don't think its my cup of tea. The problem I am having is that I have no idea how to go about this as I'm equally into all three (ok so Audrey is kind of in last but whatever) and am not really sure what to do in order to resolve this other than a mall rats game show type scenario and to make it more difficult all of a sudden all three have gone incommunicado. I have no idea what's going on but I'm blaming it right now on my roommate's fiancee (who's also my roommate) who is a blabber mouth and a rumor mongerer. I'm pretty sure she is to blame but I really don't have any proof.
Anyways, all this ranting aside all of you need to start watching The League. Also check out Archer a new FX show thats going to be starting up in the spring, the premiere was hilarious as well.
Good night you princes of the sea, you kings of the ocean.
