Smoked

So last night I had another piece of my homemade chocolate cake.  This piece was more towards the center where the pan cracked.  This section of cake definitely had a burned/smokey element to it, not surprising since it was sitting on top of a hot burner.  It still was plenty edible.  I’m looking forward to making the cake again without the auxiliary heating.

I stayed up until midnight watching the season finale of both Homeland and Dexter, both delivered with improbable endings that leave viewers desperate to know what happens next.  I now go from having four must see shows each week (Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, Walking Dead) to none.  At least I can get caught up on some reading now.

I do have the resumption of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones to look forward to, if the world doesn’t end Friday.

So I won my second fantasy football playoff game.  I had some luck this week.  I scored 101 points which is a decent, but not huge number.  My opponent had just awful luck with his players, I beat him by 41 points.

This means for the second time I find myself in the league championship game.  The last time I made it to the big game I lost.  I am hoping to finally  do something my Eagles have never done, win it all.  If I manage to do so I would also win a nice little wad of dough which would be a sweet bonus.

Winning would also be ironic, as I am pretty sure that I have put the least effort into my team of anyone in the league.  I think I made the fewest transactions of anyone and put absolutely zero prep into my draft.  The only savy move I made all year was snagging Bryce Brown, whom has come up very small the last two games.

I’m crossing my fingers.  If I win, the beer is on me.
