Animal tracks

New thing, saw animal tracks in our parking lot. It was kinda awesome. Leading from the woods/wild area by our parking lot, going towards the buildings. Really cute to stumble upon these. I wonder what it was.

Fantasy Football

New thing, started in my first Fantasy Football league in Yahoo. It's big at work so decided to try it out. There are 2 other new people to it, so it should be fun :) great thing is it's for the fun & love of the game, nothing too serious.

My team name is the Pink Unicorns, but I've also considered changing it to Care Bare Stare, Skittles or Rainbow Brite. Still time to change the name, but the whole league picked goofy/funny names. Let's go Football season!

BTW I have no idea what I'm doing. All the more fun :)

Live Wrestling

New thing, watched a live wrestling match. Husband wanted to go for his birthday so we went with a bunch of friends to a Simi Valley event. I had zero interest, but went for support & also just to be a good wife.

Turns out, it was a lot of fun. The place had yummy jalapeño poppers & drinks were priced reasonably. The atmosphere was rowdy & fun loving. The wrestling was ridiculous, campy & fun. I have a new respect for these wrestlers, seeing the acrobats & stunts they pulled. I loved some of the cheating & drama that went on. Overall it was a great show and for $10, totally worth the entertainment.

Best of all we were friends with one of the guys in it, so we were told to boo loudly for him & taunt the bad guys. I actually liked a lot of the "villains". There was spitting, chair beatings, smack talk and a chic fight. The final rumble consisted of 8 very athletic & seasoned wrestlers who at a fast, furious & rumble pace battled for the final championship. Some of the stunts & moves were incredible.

Overall an unexpectedly fun time. I will go again when our comedian friend is in the audience heartily taunting the wrestlers. I love that its so campy & that no one takes it that seriously. Its all very theatrical & dramatic but light & fun. I saw some kids there, and adults, truly having a fabulous time. Good ol fashioned cheering, booing and gladiatoresque bloodthirst for fights and rooting for the good guys. Oddly enough, I would go again. You should try it too.

57 Chevy

New thing of the day, my first matchbox toy, a 57 Chevy. I think I'll start picking up some classic car toys since I want one but can't get a real one.

On my list to get, a black 67 Chevy Impala from one of my favorite shows, Supernatural. I also want the blue 72 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia from Kill Bill 2. If anyone sees these, please buy & I'll pay back :)

Also a cool site, the IMCDB, Internet movie cars database. Tells you all the cars used in movies & tv :) sweet!

One of my friends restores classic cars & one of his was used in a flashback scene and filming of the new Captain America movie. So cool.

Lucky?

New thing of the day, my fortune and it being strangely fortuitous.

Had lunch out and I don't usually have lunch out. Ate fortune cookie which is also unusual. The morning was weird as our department is expanding, I got new job responsibilities, and I sat in two interviews this morning, with two more this afternoon, doing the interviewing, also something completely new. I've never been the one doing the interviewing and I like it considerably more. Things are changing fast & in unexpected ways.

I feel like I've been lucky this far. I hope I'm not losing my luck but that all changes are for my greater good. I hope this means I'm getting luckier and not the other way around. Eesh.
