Lost

Oh, second post today? You lucky townsfolk!

So Fantasy Football league, the BFL wrapped up this weekend and...SoulSlam LOST in the championship game!

Now my team, D Minus had a rough season. Could never get anything going, and squeaked into the playoffs with a losing record and the last placement in the seeding (#7). Won game one of the FF playoffs, went to semi-finals and beat the season winner (only 2 losses) handily. Went into this weekend feeling pretty good and my whole team let me down. It was a bad weekend all around for my team. So I end up in second place, which is IN THE MONEY! in my league. After league fees I should still get a couple hundy.

The Day After

Christmas that is...

So Christmas Day has come and gone, SoulSlam is at work on Dec. 26th. Quiet here. Got some work to do so nobody can bother me. Awesome.

Holiday was good, had four days off over weekend, where did they go so fast?! BWSS enjoyed her gifts, the Sons of SoulSlam made out like bandits and it was very merry. We've got an tremendous cold spell going right now so it's time to layer up.

BWSS is having her annual holiday-ish party this upcoming Saturday...last year SoulSlam wasn't feeling 100% so I bartended and did not partake. Made for a nice next day. Who knows this year, maybe it's time to get my drink on.

The Amazon Effect

There is something mystical about the way Amazon gets me my packages as quick as possible. Case in point, the BWSS gave me a hint about something she wanted for X-Mas. It was from a Sharper Image catalog. Problem is, there are no more Sharper Image stores. So what do I do? I look on Amazon for a comparable item. I find it. It's about 40% cheaper. So I order on Thursday afternoon around 2PM. It arrives Saturday morning! How do they do that?

Rating The Terminator

The Terminator is one of the GREATEST SERIES OF MOVIES EVER!Here's how SoulSlam ranks them:

  • The Terminator (1984) - This is the behemoth that started it all. SoulSlam actually saw this bad boy in a movie theater. It was awesome. One of the greatest sci-fi/action movies of all time. Maybe the greatest. "I'll be back!"

  • The Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) - James Cameron comes back and makes The Terminator the HERO! Holy crap! That's awesome! GREAT MOVIE!

  • Terminator Salvation (2009) - I know, I know...you may disagree. I liked it 'cause it was a little different. Dark.

  • Terminator Genisys (2015) - I did like this one. I thought the jumps through time and recreating the scenes from the OG and #2 was cool. I also thought that it was a little confusing. I did NOT LIKE MAKING JOHN CONNOR THE BAD GUY!

  • Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) - Not good. James Cameron out. It had mixed reviews. I'm not a fan.
  • FYI: I'm not ranking or mentioning TV shows. The Terminator belongs on the big screen. He's WORLDWIDE!
