So not too bad there. I was waaaay off on the Marquette-Pittsburgh game and the Syracuse-Auburn games... the UConn-Texas game was pretty close, though. Everything else I seemed to have nailed pretty darn close, eh? Moving on...

Kentucky over Pittsburgh Marquette over Kentucky
Kansas over Arizona Kansas over Arizona
UConn over Michigan State Texas over Michigan State
Oklahoma over Syracuse Syracuse over Oklahoma
Eh... well, I did predict Kansas over Arizona... and I did predict that MSU would lose. Not close, not even nearly what I thought earlier. So now I must make NEW predictions based on this new info of what really happened. The Final Four will finish out as follows: Kansas over Marquette by 6; Texas over Syracuse by 4. Kansas will still win the national championship by a score of 83-79, defeating Texas.
In other news, we had an interesting excursion to Albuquerque. Go to shouryu's LJ for more details. ^_^
Maria kicks ass. Not only was she all about Marquette (predicting the game I thought was a lock-in for Pitt AND going for them against Kentucky), but she was AT THE FRICKIN' GAME! You rule.
And finally... my recital is tomorrow. And I'm okay with everything. We had the dress rehearsal tonight, and it went. There are differing opinions: My accompanist thought everything but her part of the Weber went well; I thought the whole thing needed a facelift; everyone else mostly told me I was being dumb and said that there were only a few things that needed to be addressed but that everything went smoothly. It's at about 98% recital ready, and that's fine. I need to go through each piece once or twice tomorrow as run-throughs, just so I know I'm comfortable with them. We'll see how it goes!!
P.S. Thank you for letting me be stupid tonight and not making me feel stupid. That's one of the many reasons why I love you.
