All in all, it was a good weekend
Nov. 14th, 2011 10:25 amGetting myself past the half-way point in NaNoWriMo was not the big accomplishment for me this weekend. Admittedly, it was nice to know that I had gotten past the 25k point and was almost four days ahead. But what really made my weekend was football.
It started on Saturday night with WSU beating ASU at home. Three hours before kick off, a few inches of snow dumped on Pullman. The field crew scrambled to clear the snow, and when kick off rolled around, the field was clear and the snow was petering off. I was excited, so I tweeted this. It was almost immediately retweeted by WSU Athletics official Twitter feed - and then by eight more watchers of WSU Athletics.I'd be lying if I didn't say that it was totally awesome. As the game continued, the tweeting of disbelief continued, as freshman Connor Halliday put up incrdible numbers, including a Pac-12 record for passing yards (494) and breaking the freshman quarterback record that had been previously held by Drew Bledsoe (who by the way, was the number one first round draft pick in 1993). Ultimately, the epic win over Arizona State led to this tweet.
Sadly, because the game was so late, I ended up looking like this for most of the night:
( ...Yay!... )
It was eleven before the game was over. But oh, it was so very worth it.
Yesterday the Seahawks played the Baltimore Ravens, who are considered to be one of the best teams in the NFL at the moment. They hadn't allowed more than two points in the first half a game for almost the whole season, only to see it all fall apart in the first half. Seattle was up 19 to 7 at half time, and even though the Ravens had a penchant for come from behind wins, Seattle was going to fight tooth and nail to keep their lead. The Ravens managed to score ten more points, but the Seahawks also managed to get another field goal in the third quarter and held Baltimore at bay for the rest of the game, bringing their win total to an astounding three. However the Seahawks are heading into a stretch of "easy" games (meaning that they're playing teams who suck worse than they do), meaning that it's entirely possible that we'll win another seven games this season. Sure, not exactly a winning record and by no means are we going to win the NFC West (that goes to the 49ers, who have totally earned it), but as long as we're close to breaking even in terms of wins and losses, I'm good.
All in all, things are good. Husband is probably going to end up working late again (poor guy) and he's hoping that he only has a few days of that left. He's been scrambling to catch up, and would have gone in yesterday except the server was down for its regular maintenance and he wouldn't have been able to do anything beyond logging in.
At any rate, I have some things I need to get taken care off and now that my coffee is cold there's no point in putting it off anymore.
