Update + Some Fun.
Hello all. Life is pretty good, I must say. I'm feeling better about things, working on getting a subbing job and starting to ref again, and might be finding somewhere closer to Cortland to live come January. Things with Jamie are going very well, I'm looking forward to seeing lots of people Meliora Weekend and other times, and am 2-1 in the Western New York football league I created on Madden '08 as the Candor Caribou (damn you Geneseo!). Also, we only got 4 questions wrong at trivia last night. But, one of them was the last one, so it was all for naught.
This next part of the post caused me to wait some 36 hours to put it up. But it was worth it. I love the internet. Also, we didn't have random rules hitball today, because only Brad, Joe and I were here. So we all won. Yes us.
And now the fun part. It's time for an almost famous quiz. Try not to cheat and use the internet, but guess (or if you actually know, then don't guess) and match these pictures to the identities below. These ones are all guys to make it harder; in the future I may do a female one.
