amazon patriots 19-0 book cache
February 8th, 2008
i got sick last week and it got worse this tuesday. for a few days i’d fall asleep around 9 just to wake up later because my throat hurts so bad. and i have to blow my nose and sneeze. it hurts to talk and to clear my throat. maybe i’m not just having a cold, it’s flu or something. i really don’t know. but aside from not having a fever, i’ve been pretty miserable. 
;_;
so i woke up a few minutes ago and checked out new posts on the colts forum. someone posted a cached link of the amazon patriots 19-0 book (screenshot).
the most amusing part is the review by D. Sterling (Dallas, TX). s/he apparently knows something we don’t.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prescient, February 1, 2008
By D. Sterling (Dallas, TX)
What a wonderful and insightful book! The whole story of this incredible season is laid out with amazing detail, wonderful anecdotes, and personal vignettes that really touch the heart of every football fan.
The final chapter, detailing the Super Bowl, is especially worthwhile. After Brady’s now famous debilitating hang-nail on his left hand in the first quarter, the world waited with baited breath as the two backup QB “Matt’s” flipped a coin to see who would play. We all watched as the quarter hung on its side, eventually falling the way of Matt Gutierrez. While he did not complete a pass the rest of the way, the 6 “statue-of-liberty” plays, for a combined 275 yards, set a Super Bowl record for both the number of statue-of-liberty plays, and the total yardage from that special bon-mot of a play.
I digress…..get the book….it will change your life.
LMAO this person seriously has some hallucination issues. maybe s/he had a fever when s/he wrote that.
patriots 19-0 book deal
February 5th, 2008
As a Colts fan, I am completely elated that the patriots lost to the giants in the Super Bowl XLII. In fact I still cannot get over that. I cannot sleep much without replaying the last moments of the game in my head.
Today I found out that the patriots had already filed copyright to “19-0″ and “19-0 The Perfect Season” prior to the game just to find their perfection ruined.
Amazon even had a link to the book but had to remove it. Someone however saved the book cover before they did.
I’m so inspired I made them a new book cover for the book they can actually have.
NFL torrent site
December 15th, 2007
If you are a NFL fan like me, you might appreciate this site. It hosts torrents for almost all the NFL games during the season. It even has NFL shows on the NFL network. I’ve been looking for a torrent for the 2006 Colts America’s Game episode for ages. I finally found it there. The registration is completely free

Also channelsurfing a good site for online NFL game streaming (and other selective sports)
finally got a Wii!
March 5th, 2007
we finally got a Wii yesterday! andy got up at 4:30 to get in line in toys r us to get it for me. i was so touched. he never forgot that was the birthday gift i wanted and never gave up trying. it was a month late but nevertheless a huge surprise. he also got a second controller and two nunchuks. not knowing that the wii came with a nunchuk, we got an extra one. so i’m selling it on ebay
i thought i heard the garage door open early morning yesterday but was too tired/sick to get up & check. andy came in around 9:30 to bring me breakfast and a huge bag from toys r us. i couldn’t believe it. how sweet was that! i am still sick and was coughing really hard but i couldn’t resist trying out the wii. we love the boxing and tennis game. the boxing game really gets me going. i get sweaty only after 3 rounds. amazing! i must be playing it hard too coz i beat andy every time we tried LOL . he also bought the wii zelda game. i was so wore out afterwards and went to bed at 6pm.
now i’m awake and my arms are so sore and totally want to do boxing again LMAO

COLTS WON!!!!!!!!
January 22nd, 2007
Colts WON 2006 AFC Championship
COLTS WON!!!!!!!!
COLTS WON!!!!!!!!
COLTS WON!!!!!!!!
Andy and I embraced each other after the last Marlin Jackson interception. Tears were rolling down my face. I couldn’t believe how joyful I was! I feel so happy for the Colts esp. Peyton Manning. Now people can shut up about how he’s never been to a Superbowl. He’s going to one NOW!
The game was excruciating to watch. I had to hold my breath until the last 16 seconds. THANKS TO THE GUYS FROM IOWA!!! Dallas Clark & Bob Sanders! Dallas had 6 catches for 137 yards and Bob Sanders had a crucial pass breakup at 3rd & 4 on NE’s second to last possession with 2:30 to go.
I had HUGE doubt after the first half but they came back from the half time with GREAT looks coming back from a 18-point deficit (biggest in AFC Championship history). Wouldn’t I wish they’d have taken the lead earlier but they didn’t until there was only one minute left in the game. Peyton manning couldn’t watch the last NE drive and I totally felt for him.
FF XII rants
December 10th, 2006
i beat final fantasy XII a few days ago. overall i found the game rather disappointing. this is the first final fantasy series i didn’t like. the only thing i really like about it is the battle system. and that is pretty sad.
==do NOT continue if you don’t want spoilers==
the story IMO sucked. i never felt for any characters. the stories behind the characters all left much to be desired. maybe one of the reasons why the story sucked so much is that it draws much parallels to FFX storyline and it’s inferior in every aspect. so vaan’s brother died and he’s looking for the meaning of his life. did he find it compared to tidus from FFX, i don’t feel he has grown up at all. balthier’s dad is Cid – and balthier killed him. big deal.. i didn’t feel like i cared nor did it seem he did. basch is mindless knuckle head and all he knew was “oh my god, i had to protect my master.” – not even worth to wash auron’s feet. ashe.. stop the “uh”! jeez
i was also disappointed there wasn’t any love stories. the love story in FF9 clinched me so much i cry every time i watch the ending.
and the antagonists sucked, too. where are the traditional awfully annoying antagonists like Seifer and Seymour you feel satisfied to beat the heck out of them every time. altho my favorite antagonist is FF9’s kuja – coz he’s cute and you actually feel sorry for him at the end.
the most disappointing thing is the ending. like when did penelo became the ever important character to give the narratives it didn’t even show ashe’s ceremony becoming the queen i was hoping they showed something more after the long credits like they usually do but the only thing i found was “the end”.
other disappointing things about FFXII
- where is the addictive side game that started from FFVIII’s triple triaid the hunt was ok for a while but it’s not something you can always do and the rewards SUCKED.. what’s the point of doing them
- i can’t believe nothing gives you damage limit break in this game. i thought after FFX it’s pretty much a standard. the quickening takes forever – there is no guaranteed damage.. i personally just like to hack the enemies down arg.
- because the characters can be as generic as you want them in this game. there is no specialized ultimate weapon like in FFX.
- the world map is so one dimentional. you don’t get the airship until the very end of the game. oh well why you need the airship anyway. you can’t board it from anywhere. teleporting is an easier way to transport anyway. i’ve been waiting all game for the mysterious location of the map – an entire new atmosphere to explore.
killing tornado and storm
April 4th, 2006
scary news – IOWA CITY – Portions of Iowa City look like a war zone this morning after the city took a direct hit from a likely tornado. Other areas of Eastern Iowa were hit hard: Marion, Van Horne, Anamosa and Nichols also saw the brunt of Mother Nature’s Fury. NICHOLS – One person was killed in Thursday’s storms. It happened when a possible tornado ripped through their mobile home in the town of Nichols.
the last a few days living in our mobile home have been the worst. we got constantly hit by storm and wild wind. we are without cable for a while since we will be moving and i cancelled our cable early. but last night was scary. fortunately we are ok.
