Let your dreams be dreams, all this livin's so much harder than it seems

Hey everybody. hope you had a good weekend.

thought i'd start off by recapping my picks for the weekend. Technically, my record was 3-2-1, getting iowa and texas tech incorrect and pushing on Oklahoma. But I'm going to award myself a record of 4-2-1. here's why:

I made my picks on a Friday and learned Saturday that Iowa's starting quarterback wasn't going to play. obviously -- to me anyway -- that is a game i would not have picked if i had known drew tate wasn't playing. and since i found out before the iowa game started, i would have been able to withdraw that wager had i been betting.

If you notice in my friday entry, i said something along the lines of "hold a gun to my head and i'd pick ohio state to cover" then tossing out the utah st/ark game as another possibility of the underdog to beat the spread. well, both Ohio State and Utah State beat the spread.

So i'm keeping the iowa loss on my record, but giving myself an additional win for getting both Ohio State and Utah State, even though they weren't technically picks.

Had lots of weird dreams last night.

someone tried to drown me in one of them.

in another, i spent a full day at work thinking it was Monday. But it was actually Tuesday and i had missed all my scheduled interviews.

another had something to do with school and a friend of mine drinking a gatorade type drink out of ziplock bags. and i don't remember if it was the same dream or a different one, but the same friend was a member of a two-person video game-playing team that could beat anyone in a basketball video game.

in another dream, i tried to get my brother to show me how to shoot beavers. i was especially interested in killing the genetically altered beavers with super long teeth.
