Games...

So I’m behind on my Sunday evening TV shows for one reason or another.

Last week I was teaching a Confirmation class at a parish. The 80 year old priest who is the pastor of the Church needed help with the class and got a hold of me to help him. So I am doing that every couple of weeks.

Anyways, so this afternoon I am starting/catch up on the Amazing Race. One of my favorite reality tv shows. I’ve only had the opportunity to see one episode, I think it was the third episode. So now I’m watching the whole season thus far on the internet.

The first episode is in Tokyo. It’s hilarious! If you haven’t seen it, go look up on the CBS website. On a Japanese game show, they are playing Sushi Roulette (or as they pronounce it “rourette”). They have to either eat a sushi roll or a wasabi roll. Personally, I wouldn’t mind getting the sushi roll a couple of times, but they need the wasabi roll to advance. They have to eat this wasabi sushi roll in 2 mins (which I’d like to think I could possibly do…I mean how hard could that be…rice, wasabi, and seaweed). And then lead a group of tourist (matching hats and flag – so typical/stereotype) across Tokyo to a shrine.

Needless to say, I got my laugh in for the day!

Yesterday, Charlie and his friends that live near him in Uptown host their first ‘Beer Olympics.’ We walked between 4 different houses for four different events. Being the light weight of them all, I was drafted to help team Greece with the first two events (flip cup and beer pong). Basically they started at 11 AM and I made it home around 1AM. It was a good time, even if team Greece lost all events….we got bronze though (yes, there were only three teams). But I would have made my Guro cousins proud.

Tidbit by Thomas: I sold my 100 of the 125 shares of Citi this week. I left with $100 profit and will let the other 25 shares ride for a while. I got tired of most of the financials not doing anything or just moving downward. So now hopefully in the middle of earnings season or shortly after, I can find another company to invest in on a dip.
