Last night (every Thursday, actually) was my bowling night. I've been in a league for a few years now. The first year, I was pretty consistant with a 185 or 190 average. I was quite please with myself. Then, the bowling alley when I bowl changed their lane type. They had natural wood lanes, but switched to synthetic. What's the difference? Well, wood lanes traditionally allow the bowing ball to break, or 'hook' more. My average dropped about 20 pins immediately (170's). I just couldn't figure out the new lanes. My ball just wasn't reacting anymore. Well, I got a new ball a few years back and it helped a little. This year, I have been tearing things up a bit. I started with an average in the 180s, but now have it back up over 190. It was 192 as of last night and should go up again. Two weeks ago, I bowled a 606 series, last week I bowled a 590 series, and last night I bowled a 646 series. I bowled a 212, 213, and 221. I was pretty excited. The second game irritated me because I missed a few spares. 9 strikes and 3 open frames only gets you a 213. I just hope that I can keep this up.
I finished my first season of NCAA '07. I won't get into too many details, but OSU won the National Title. The Troy Smith character came in 5 in the Heisman voting. I need to work on that. I guess he did get hurt for one game and I needed Justin Zwick to step up. A few things that were weird about the NCAA '07 season, compared to the real football season:
1. Michigan was 6-3 after 9 games. Apparently, the 'experts' at EA Sports didn't think that UM would do much this year either.
2. OSU was knocked to #2 after a few games (I won them all) by LSU. LSU eventually lost though.
3. I put up 40+ points in several games, but that wasn't good enough to win the Heisman.
4. Notre Dame was my opponent in the Firsta Bowl.
5. Ted Ginn didn't break a punt return back for a TD. That may be because I don't know how to spin or 'juke' effectively, but as fast as the player was, it shouldn't have mattered.
6. OSU's defense is just as good on the Xbox as they are in real life. A few shut outs and many games allowing only one score.

Another Day Closer to Checkout Time
October 26th 1974. A day that will be remembered like a fart stain on the underpants of space and time for all eternity. For on this day, I was born. To celebrate, I am working. I guess tonight is my bowling night, so that will be fun. Jessica will be making my favorite dinner of schnitzel and mashed potatoes. YUM. Cake too. Double YUM. And I will probably have beer while bowling tonight. If I am going to eat cake and fried foods, I might as well go all the way, right? I'll probably skip my Thursday poker game though. I have a feeling that, if I come home early, I may be rewarded with a make out session on the couch. It's hard to say though. CSI, Grey's Anatomy, and ER are on tonight. I guess it depends on if the episodes are good or not.
Please, don't buy me presents, just send me money.

A Hurtin' on the Hoosiers
This was the first OSU football game this season that was not televised on normal cable networks. It's crazy that the number one team in the country isn't on a channel that everyone in Columbus can watch. It was on ESPNU which is only available on satellite or Insight Cable (I have Time Warner). So, what I did was, I went to Roosters to pick up some carry out (I had to work this Saturday) so that I could have a few beers and watch the first quarter. The rest of the game I listened to on the radio. It was weird, I felt really pumped up by this game. Maybe because I couldn't watch it all. I have to say, watching the first quarter, I got a little nervous. The OSU offense wasn't clicking and Troy Smith did not look like a Heisman candidate. IU scored first after returning an OSU punt to the OSU 15 yard line. Luckily, the OSU defense looked great and stone-walled IU's offense all day. The OSU offense got it rolling and racked up 44 points. The final score was 44-3. I can't believe that there are onle four more games left this season. why is it that baseball, which I don't like so much, lasts FOREVER, but the best time of the year (OSU football season) only lasts 12 weeks? The next three games, leading up to The Big One, are against teams that are collectively 6 and 15. Minnesota, Illinois, and Northwestern are not the best in the Big Ten. As long as Ohio State doesn't have a serious let down, it is looking like they will be undefeated when M*ch*g*n rol into town. It also looks like scUM will be undefeated as well. How huge would it be if both teams are #1 and #2 going into that game. Already, tickets for the OSU vs M*ch*g*n game are running over $1000 a piece. The local news said that four tickets in one of the boxes are going for $6000 on Ebay. $1500 per ticket. And I was bitching about the face value of the tickets going up to $64 a piece.

So Good I watched it Twice. No Kidding!
For those of you that haven't been bitten by the Battlestar Galactica bug, go out and rent, buy, borrow, or steal seasons one and two of this spectacular show and catch up on the bestest (yes, I said bestest) show on TV today. Last nights episode was spectacular. It was amazing. It was super fan-diddily-tastic. You know that if a Flanders-ism is used, it must be good. As amazing as this episode was, I still have a few issues and I must say that it was a bit predictable. I am bout to go into details, so if you haven't seen the episode yet, you may want to stop reading. There will be some spoilers.
Ok, first off, Starbuck and Kasey. I sorta figured that the Cylons were frakking with Starbuck. If Hera (Helo and Sharon's baby) was concieved on Caprica before Starbuck was captured by the Cylons, how would Kasey appear to be considerably older than Hera? If both Hera and Kasey were human Cylon hybrids, they should age the same, right? This goes to show that Starbuck is a bit gullable. How can a kid would be one year old or so, look like a three year old? It also bothered me that, when Starbuck got Kasey back to the Galactica, they happened to find Kasey's real mother immediately. In all of that confusion, the probability that Kasey's mother would ever show up is slim.
Second, Since I have seen the old BSG shows and knew that the Pegasus was sacrificed while saving the fleet and the Galactica, I kinda saw how this episode was going to play out. Last week when Adama told Apollo that the Galactica was going to go back to New Caprica alone, I knew that Apollo was going to disobey, the Pegasus would show up in the nick of time and would be sacrificed to save the Galactica and the fleet. However, that did NOT change the fact that the battle scenes were amazing. Watching the Pegasus come in and blast the crap out of the Cylon Base Stars was incredible. I get chills just thinking about it.
Probably the most amazing scene in the whole show (yes, more amazing that Pegasus charging in to save the Galactica) was the Galactica's rescue and liberation of New Caprica. I knew that they were going to send deycoys. That is a typical strategy. However, I thought that the Galactica was going to jump between the two base stars and blast the crap out of them. I did not see an in atomosphere jump in order to launch Vipers to help the troops on the ground, only to jump away right before crashing into the ground. WOW. That was cool. I bet the Cylons crapped a giant metal turd when they looked up to see the Galactica plummeting towards them.
Some things that I saw coming and also that bothered me:
1. The Cylons got a hold of Hera. I saw that coming.
2. Gaeda let Baltar live. I saw that coming AND it still bothered me. Why would it matter if Baltar stopped the Cylons from setting off the nuke? Most of the humans were off the planet already. I know that Baltar is meant to live because he is going to have a part in the storyline, but come on Gaeda. Kill him and take his head back to the Galactica with you!
3. They made a point to have the guy that joined the Caprica Police end up protecting Roslin while she went to Colonial One, but nothing really came of it. I was expecting that she would run into some Cylons, they would identify the guy (Crashdown?) as a CP officer, and he would have to choose between the Cylons and Roslin. It didn't happen and it appeared that Roslin just had a leisurely stroll to Colonial One.
Well, I think that is enough for now. Any thoughts or comments? Best episode ever? I think it could be. It's certainly the best episode so far this season.

My List
I'm sure that you've all see the Friends episode where Rachel lets Ross make a list of five celebrities that he is allowed to shag and get a free pass. I'm sure that everyone (well, men) has contimplated a similar list for themselves. I have given this topic much thought. I have to say, compiling a list is not as easy as you may thing. I think Woody podted his list a while back, but I am not above ripping off someone else's blog idea. At least I'm not having a quote contest. Yet.
Anyway, I feel that you really have to put some thought into a list such as this. You can't just put down the first five girls that come to mind. You need to consider all of the different types of women and your different tastes. Personally, I can find many different types of women very attractive. Tall, short, skinny, chubby, red heads, blondes, dark skin, light skin, it really doesn't matter. I can find something attractive about any woman. I guess if a girl looks like me, I may have some issues. I mean, come on, I'm not exactly a great looking guy. I'd make an UGLY woman. Still, I am getting off the subject.
You really need to look at several different angles when you contimplate your list. Do you want any porn stars? Do you want any foriegn women? What is your age limit? How diverse do you want to be? Back in the day, when the Friends episode first came out, I wanted to be pretty dverse. I did want a porn star (Jenna Jameson) just because you'd think porn stars would be great in the sack. In my older age, I have removed porn stars from list contention. As you may have noticed, my list is not set in stone. I will not laminate the list. What if someone on the ilst gets some bad plastic surgery or gets an eating disorder?
Anyway, The first slot on the list goes to the most attractive actress that I have seen in a very long time: Scarlett Johansson. If you look at the picture from the link, you can see that she is virtually perfect in every way. Great hair, great smile, great skin, a beautiful face, and spectacular body. I first noticed her in "The Girl With the Pearl Earring." She was in a dress that covered her completely and all you could se was her face, but I was still mezmerised.
The second post on the list was going to be Linday Lohan, but lately she has lost a TON of weight and is no longer attractive to me. She is still pretty, but way too skinny now. She could get back on the list is she puts on a pound or two. Now #2 is Katherine Heigl. For all of the reasons listed for Scarlett, Katherine Heigl adds some serious heat to Grey's Anatomy.
The third slot goes to Alyssa Milano. Ever since seeing her on Who's The Boss, I have had a serious crush on Alyssa. We were the same age (still are I guess) and very cute. Now, she is a smokin' hottie. Though it is a good show, I probably wouldn't have been nearly as interested in 'Charmed' if Alyssa wasn't scantily clad in half the episodes.
Number four on my list is Vida Guerra. Vida first came to my attention through FHM, a magazine that I sometimes peruse. Known for her big bootie, this Latina is in magazines all over the place now. Me, I likes me a big bootie. Women are supposed to have hips and Vida has those too.
Finally, the athlete on the list to round of the five: Amanda Beard, Olympic swimmer. I know that I mentioned that skinny women don't do much for me in regards to Lindsay Lohan, but Amanda Beard isn't skinny, she is fit, tall, and toned. I believe the term is 'swimmer's body'. Plus, most of the time that she is on TV or in magazines, she is soaking wet. Something about water glistening on a woman's body is HOT. The athlete on the list previously was Anna Kournikova, but she has kind of fallen off of the radar lately. Besides, she is into hockey players, which I'm not.
Well, that's it. Let me know what you think. Who's on your list? To recap mine for those of you that don't want to read all of this:
1. Scarlett Johansson
2. Katherine Heigl
3. Alyssa Milano
4. Vida Guerra
5. Amanda Beard
I won't laminate it though.

I Gotta Name this? The Broker Record.
So, I read Woody's post from yesterday and he basically gave props to all of his highschool friends and their blogs. His recap of my blog was that I write about BSG and OSU football. Boy, am I a two trick pony or what? I looked back through the past few weeks and Woody is right. Most of the posts are BSG or OSU football related. Sorry about that. I guess the reasons for that are 1. I don't post much and BSG and OSU football are the most exciting things going on in my life at the moment, and 2. I am really not very creative. I found it very funny that the most comments on one of my posts was 11 and that was when I asked what I should do if I were rich. Thank you Amy and Mona for spending all of my fictional money on yourselves. When I post about BSG, I may get a comment or two and when I post about OSU football, nothing. I guess I need to broaden my horizons to keep everyone's attention.
While reading about Herb and Amy's encounter at the Woollybear Festival in Vermillion OH (don't laugh, Waterville has a festival for an island named for a buffalo) I started thinking about my past, both in highschool and college, and ralized that I have had a heck of a lot of nick-names in my day. I guess 'Eric' is just too much of a mouthful for some people. (Wow, that is a loaded sentence.) Seriously, I have a lot nick-names:
Tiny - freshman year in HS Marching Band
Wog - HS (WOG! FROG! WOODY! and Herb)
Ogre - College marching band
Ogs - short for the above name
E - Poker Night
EZE - Bowling Night
E-rock - Bowling Night
Rhodes-e - Work (my userID is rhodese1)
Big E - Poker Night
I'm sure there is more. I just can't think of them at the moment. Can anyone think of any other names that I may have been called in the past (not the bad ones, thank you)? How about your nick names? I know Woody probably doesn't have too many since Woody stuck so well. At least I didn't have any of the following unfortunate nick names:
BABS - Big Ass Boobs
Tic Tac - Takes it in the Cornhoe Take All Cocks
BAFT - Big Ass F-ing Tits
PITA - Pain In The Ass
Huggies - Ha! Rinnert!
FS - F--- Stain, or Stain for short
Those are all real names that I have really heard.

It's been a while
Sorry for the delay between posts. Things have been a bit crazy around the house lately. I don't really want to get into it though. I'd much rather talk about the 38-7 smack down that OSU put on Michigan State.
The first possesion of the game was pretty scary as OSU fumbled the ball and MSU recovered on their own 30 yard line. The next play MSU took the ball down to the OSU 1, but the play was called back on a holding call. The Buckeye defense woke up and backed MSU up after sacking Drew Stanton for a 16 yard loss. The OSU offense took over and started wracking up the points. Gonzalez seemed like he was open every play. Troy Smith seemend unstoppable. Ted Ginn took a punt return back for a touchdown. I was probably the best offensive display I have seen from Ohio State this year. The defense was tough too. Big hits on the QB, interceptions, tackles for losses. Ohio State is definately hitting on all cylinders. They are ranked #1 on all of the polls. It is starting to look like The Game this year (when the team from up north comes to town) could be a #1 #2 match up with the National Title game on the line. Ohio State just needs to stay focused and take care of Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, and Northwestern. They are all four teams that Osio State is capable of beating, but anything can happen in the Big Ten.

If I Had a Million Dollars......
First a quick recap of the weekend:
-OSU beat Bowling Green 35-7. They didn't beat the spread, but a win is a win. It was a pretty boring game. I think the Bucks used standard offensive plays in order to work on the basics and keep their big weapons as a suprise.
-The Browns lost. Again. They are really not so good this year. I thought they'd do better since some of their starters are healthy now, but I was wrong.
Ok, if I had a million dollars, I would:
1. Buy a boat for on the lake.
2. Buy a house on South Bass Island (ok, I'd need more that $1mil).
3. Pay off all of my bills.
4. Buy an RV to take down to campus for the home OSU games.
5. Buy OSU season tickets.
6. Enter the big tournament for the World Poker Tour.
7. Get a pool in the back yard.
8. Get a hot tub in the back yard
9. Buy a Harley
10. Buy a widescreen plazma TV with sound system. (One for each room)
11. Travel (Cruises, trips to Europe, Mexico, East Coast, West Coast, everywhere I feel like.)
I'm sure there is more, but I cannot think anything else right now. I'm sure there is more that I can do, but I can't think of anything. Any ideas of what I should do if/when I get rich?

Two Hours of BSG Magic
A two hour premire. Awesome. I didn't realize that it would be a two hour premire. Awesome. All in all it was excellent. Twists, turns, action. Two hour show seemed like one hour and I was pissed off everytime there was a commercial and down right angry when the show ended. After the long wait, I have to say the first show of the season of Battlestar Galactica was great. I did have a few problems with some of the things that happened, but just little things:
DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT DETAILS OF THE FIRST EPISODE!!!
1. They made Lee fat. I guess they did this to show Lee's sense of hopelessness and apathy, but Lee has been down in the past and didn't go off to gain 50 pounds.
2. Anders is alive and well. In last season's finale he was in bed with pneumonia and no medicine. I doubt that the Cylons would watch out for the well being of Starbuck's husband. Unless they helped him to keep her happy.
3. Staubuck's "child" looked at least three years old. I don't think that would fit the time line in which Starbuck was on Caprica and in the hospital. Maybe I am being a bit too crital about that. Anyone else think that KC's "accident" was staged to get Starbuck to care about the kid?
4. The made a piont to say that the Centurions can't tell the difference between one 'skin job' Cylon and another. A #6 looks like any other #6 to a Centurion. That's why they sent Sharron to New Caprica. Yet, when the resistance was ambushed after Sharron arrived, she didn't just yell 'hold your fire.' to make them stop shooting.
5. They make you believe that Laura was shot by the Cylons, but show her in the 'next time on Battlestar Galactica' preview after the show.
6. Gaeda would not be working for Baltar. I guess they are playing it like he is the spy on the inside and is helping alot, but I would think that he would tell Chief Tyrel or Col. Tigh so that he wouldn't get killed as a calaborator.
7. The Cylon's say they want to 'help' the humans and live in peace, but are detaining people and killing them for no apparent reason. I guess history shows that most conquering people feel that they are 'helping' their subjects.
Enough. I don't want to seem like I am complaining because it was a great episode, which I plan on watching again. Soon. It's hard to see what will happen in the coming shows since the fleet seems to be facing impossible odds to free the people on New Caprica.

Best Show on TV tonight
Battlestar Galactica season 3 starts up again tonight at 9:00 pm on SciFi. Great show. Make sure to tune in.
Hey, for those of you that watched the BSG webisodes on SciFi.com, is it just me, or are they trying to shift Col. Tigh to having a Scottish or Irish accent? It was pretty apparent in webisode 6.

Cool Write up
ESPN.com had a pretty cool write up regarding Script Ohio. They interviewed a susaphone guy to get an idea of what it is like to 'dot the I'. Honestly, as a percussionist in the OSU Marching Band, I never had any desire to dot the I. We were always 'first on the grass' during the pregame show, which is an adrenaline rush in itself. Still, it is good to see the OSU band get a little attention, considering the media circus that is surrounding the #1 OSU football team.
Oh, one error in the news story: They neglected to mention that ex-OSU president E. Gordon Gee also dotted the I once.

Honestly, as a percussionist in the OSU Marching Band, I never had any desire to dot the I. We were always 'first on the grass' during the pregame show, which is an adrenaline rush in itself. Still, it is good to see the OSU band get a little attention, considering the media circus that is surrounding the #1 OSU football team.
Oh, one error in the news story: They neglected to mention that ex-OSU president E. Gordon Gee also dotted the I once.

Sorry about that.
Sorry for the heavy topic last post. It was just something that I saw and had strong feelings about. I promise that this post will be lite and lively. Not to mentioned filled with Buckeye goodness!
Ok, this week, OSU went to IOWA and blasted the Hawkeyes 38-17. Tate for Heisman? Not anymore! He was picked off more than a and sacked repeatedly. The Ohio State offense was able to move through the Iowa defense like a warm knife moves through butter. Iowa's crowd tried to intimidate the Buckeyes by wearing all yellow and were being rowdy. It worked last year at Penn State (OSU's last loss) but the Buckeyes were able to make the crowd sit down and shut up by taking their first possession and driving for a touchdown. "Troy Smith to Anthony Gonzalez." seemed like the catch phrase of the day, seeing as how Gonzo always seemed to be open at the right time and always seemed to get either a first down or a touchdown. The best play of the game was when Smith hooked up for Gonzo and Gonzo was able to weave through the Iowa defense and make it to the endzone. Probably the best part of the play was the blocking that the other receivers were throwing for Gonzo down field. This OSU team is really living up to the word 'team'. They are unselfish when playing and give each other the credit for their success when interviewed.
Most people agree that Iowa was the last real challenge for the Buckeyes until November 18th when the team from up north comes to the 'Shoe for the last game of the regular season. The remaining games are against Bowling Green, Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Northwestern. These games aren't garunteed wins, but all of the teams mentioned have lost several games and none are ranked in the top 25. As long as the Buckeyes don't fall asleep, they should be 11-0 when M*ch*g*n rolls into town. On the other side of the coin, M*ch*g*n will more than lakely be undefeated as well. Depending on what happens around the country, OSU and scUM could be #1 and #2 when they meet in November. If that is the case, OSU will be playing their second 1 vs 2 game of the season (having won the first one against Texas). Wow. I am pretty excited about where this season is going.
