The Wind Beneath Her Wings

Nuriya received a pair of fairy princess wings as an Xmas present and cried when she couldn't fly so I picked her up and turned that frown upside down. Literally, upside down. All over the place really. Superman-style. Except that she's a girl, a fairy princess.

Office Domination

Opening Act

I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural game at John Paul Jones Arena and witnessed my UVA squad come from 19 points down to defeat the 10th ranked Arizona Wildcats.

Sean Singletary will be breaking ankles all season.

Taking Care of Business

Recently found in one of our bathroom stalls at work:


What management team allowed this title to get approved? I'd dump them.

Moving over to the fast lane...

Ahsanadan

The fellas at work, notably Vinny, have dubbed the day after Eid Ahsanadan. All throughout Ramadan they were nice enough to allow me to enjoy the various scents of food they ate at their cubes. Matter of fact, I based several iftars on the aroma around my desk during the day. Damn Popeyes smells so good. Too bad my Popeyes sucked when I got home.

The lunch crew decided that they would avoid kababs throughout Ramadan. So of course on the first day of Ahsanadan we had to hit up Ahsan Kabab. Best kabab in DC hands down.

Ahsanadan will last through the lunar month, however it is not yet clear whether or not I get to make the call for lunch the entire month. That would just take the fun out of our pre-lunch discussions.

Makeup of a 1-6 Fantasy Team

TD totals for the top 4 picks of my 2006 draft:

Tiki - 0
Chad - 1
Fitz - 2
Jamal Lewis - 1

Such is the makeup of a 1-6 fantasy team. Never again will I draft a superstar WR high over a run of the mill starting RB that gets carries in the red zone. Especially if said WR is coming off a monster year only to be double and triple teamed the following season, leaving his #2 drafted several rounds later to rack up TDs and yardage galore. TJ Houshamazelli wins Fantasy Championships.

Chicken of the Sea

Nuriya just had a Jessica Simpson moment, but her thought process was rather impressive for a 3 year old.

Mommy Here...eat your fish sticks.
Nuriya That's not fish, thats chicken nuggets.
Nuriya Fish are from the sea. Fish are in water.

As long as she's eating, I'm down.

Jailbirds

Actors

My current favorite actors list, probably in order:

Matt Damon
Don Cheadle - shit I even watched Picket Fences coz of him
Ed Norton <-- where's he been?
Denzel Washington - This ain't no bank robbery! The man just delivers, literally.
Jack Nicholson - Joker, dude, one more time, please?

I am siced about The Departed. Leo could make the list soon.

Afterwards

Afterwards is the longest word one can type with one hand, unless one types with their index finger, which is also used to signify the number one. One might wonder why one would create a blog entry on one-handed typing, and then digress by trying to fit the word "one" as many times as possible, but such is the nature of this blog.

The longest sentence one can type with one finger may be:
Afterwards, we brats ate eggs at Edwards Cafe.
