The week in review

OK, been a while since my last post... so let's catch up!

- Last Thursday was the Rangers game in Madison Square Gardens against Pittsburgh. Big group, mainly from Jen's touch football team plus a few others including Rickesh, Suzanne, Carly, Jill and myself (4 US MCPs in total at the game if you include Joe). The game was fun, lots of hotdogs, not being 100% sure of what was going on and rampant cheering when New York scored. Not a huge hockey fan, but at least I can say that I've seen a pro game - just basketball and football to go (gotta go see the Colts next year).

- Friday was Jim's leaving party in the office; in a word: Epic. Beer pong tournament, hourly shots, too much beer and chocolates. Beer pong was a shitload of fun; the full rundown:

Round 1

- Farid and Dan (the Muslim and the Jew, ironically) beat Jill and George in a close game that lasted aaaaages.
- Jim and I played another close game against The Accountants, but we lost when it turned out that Nata is really, really fucking good at beer pong.
- Sarah and Carly's friend Sam knocked out by Jen and "Stone Cold" Chris Basaman by a good 2 cups.

Playoff

As Jen and ChrisB had a score of +2 in their game, they went through to the final while Team Irony and The Accountants battled for a spot in the champeenship with them. Natalie's superior technique takes them through.

Final - The Accountants v Jen 'n' ChrisB

In another close game, Jen and ChrisB edge out Nata and Paul by one cup. Tourney MVP: C-Bass.

Then we played flippycups for ages, even managing to get the neighbours to come and play (who turned up in costume). At this point I was wearing a wig under my hoody hood, making me look like the bastard love-child of Rivers Cuomo and Noel Gallagher. There are definately pictures somewhere...

Eventually people headed to bars and restaurants (I headed home - I was in desperate need of a TO by that point) - but good, good times all in all.

- Yesterday was the volleyball scrimmage for the team that Jill, Sarah, Dave, Scott, Joe, myself and several others are on. Lot of fun, the other team was cool and the happy hour was suitably awesome to end the night. We even managed to get $30 worth of beer off the other team by performing a synchonized dance to our team song (and name), Bump and Grind. Play of the night was Jill psyching out the other team by pretending to dig the ball, but instead headbutting it. It stayed in play and everything! It is now our team's secret play, under the code-name "Jill gives good head".

8:10 now... 50 minutes until my training session starts...
