– I worked both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was the killer, had to be in the office at 5:00 AM for a project install. At least I got home before kickoff.

– Went to two parties this weekend. One party was a school party for wifeGeeding’s school, the other was an engagement party. Both parties had a bunch of girls that were Baylor graduates. How did I know they were from Baylor? Because they always go out of their way to let you know where they went to school.

– One of the hardest things about fantasy football is picking players that will be playing against your favorite team. As you know, I love the Dallas Cowboys. I had Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson and their kicker. You want your team to win, but you also want your player to perform exceptionally well. I guess I got lucky. Larry Johnson had over 140 total yards and three touchdowns. However, my kicker did miss a last second field goal that would have won the game for Kansas City. I think I can live with the missed kick. 🙂

– Speaking of Kansas City, way to go Danni!. Finally, the person I was rooting for in Survivor won. Why Danni? Well, she’s tall and lanky just like wifeGeeding, except I think wifeGeeding has better abs – and that’s not a joke. Also, I just wasn’t a fan of Stephanie for several reasons. One, she’s from Philadelphia, and that must make her an Eagles fan. Two, Her eye-brows scare me. Three, and this is from the SportsGuy, but I just find it weird that she is so much better looking after spending 40 days in a jungle without food or make-up than she is in real life all clean, well-kepted, and nourished. And one more note about the show – both Danni and Stephanie were wearing some ugly boots at the reunion show. I’m usually a big fan of the female wearing ‘the boot,’ but Danni looked like she had two corn-dogs covered in mustard covering her legs.

– I heard NY Giants kicker Jay Feeley talk about his faith and dependence upon Christ during the rough times in his life. It was reassurring to hear someone refer to his or her relationship with Christ during the hard times, and not just for all the accomplishments.

Behold the fearsome echizen kurage — the latest threat from the briny deep.

These jellyfish are six feet wide, they weigh up to 450 pounds, they’re covered in poison tentacles, and they’re totally b0rking the food supply of Asia. For reasons that no scientist can figure out, they have in recent months been massing at levels 100 times larger than normal off the coasts of China Japan and North Korea. They’re getting caught in fisherman’s nets and ruining their hauls, such that incomes in some fisherman regions are down 80 percent. In a delightfully Godzilla-class move, the three governments are convening a joint “jellyfish summit” this month to figure how to fight this gelatinous menace.

In the meantime, the locals are making the best of it, as the British Times reports, because …

… rather than just complaining about jellyfish they are eating them. [snip]

Coastal communities are doing their best to promote jellyfish as a novelty food, sold dried and salted.

Students in Obama have managed to turn them into tofu, and jellyfish collagen is reported to be beneficial to the skin.

Some speculate that heavy rains in China have sparked the jellyfish invasion; others wonder about global warming. If it’s the latter — man, one could scarcely ask for a better argument in favor of signing Kyoto. “What, you want to get killed by a quarter-ton jellyfish?”
