Gaga and performers, on her latest tour

So, Gaga was pretty fantastical. I pretty much lost all verbal speech ability by the end of last night, and answering a phone call today at work was quite the excitingly fun challenge. I may have also danced off about ten pounds. Kid Cudi put on a good show, and the opening band was complete crap (good to those who didn’t know any better, but I’ve seen my large share of bands, and these people were on the lower end, I don’t even recall their name).

I didn’t get home until around 4am, but not before I was sniped by the CHP on my exit off the freeway at 3:45am or so — apparently I was going 95 on the freeway, which is quite the feat considering I had cruise control set at 74. You can bet I’ll be fighting that in court, and I’ll be lucky enough to see a 3am shift cop in at 11am to tell his side of the story to the judge. No matter, I haven’t been convicted of a speeding ticket in my Mustang since.. uhh.. summer 2006. So, yeah. =)

We have our sweet Christmas bonus being added to our paycheck this week, and I can instantly think of a half dozen ways to spend a free grand that I wouldn’t normally expect to have readily available. While I would love to repaint my car with some more snazz, the clutch needs to be done.. c’est le vie. I suppose I could wait until tax time (which always yields a high amount of cash back for me, thanks homeownership!) to deal with the automobile issues, and either throw it into a gym membership again, pay off some random credit card, or.. who knows.

I missed Muse playing at NSSN this year (see posts a few weeks back), but I heard from the grapevine that they will be performing in April, again. So, hooray!

As I type this, I am watching the 49ers dismantle the Cardinals.. too bad it means little as the chance of San Francisco making it to the playoffs is rather slim. I’m winning this week’s football pool however. I had 11 picks right, and the next closest has 10, and he chose the Cardinals for this game, meaning at best we would tie and go to total points for the tiebreaker; but seeing as the 49ers look to demolish this game, I’ll be taking the cash this week!

I added my little musical lyrics section there on the right – currently there’s two songs, and I am attempting to figure out some way of making it easier for me to incorporate additionals, as the current method by which I have it done is going to become complicated as soon as a I add a few more in there.

Anyhow, happy December! Christmas coming soon, viva Las Vegas!

So as the year comes to close, here are my looking-forward-to’s:

Lady Gaga this Sunday! We have 8 tickets and I believe it’s going to be a crunkin’ time. Joe and I saw her back in March, and the show was pure awesomeness. I can only imagine Joe and I plus six beating the experience by a factor of twelve. Better still, I don’t even know who the opening bands/performers are.

Me & Chris, designing our defensive strategy

I did my first football social play this past Saturday, hanging out with a large portion of the crew later that night. I can’t wait to get back into the football swing of things, again! I believe I went 6 for 7 on catching with one touchdown (the one dropped ball was a bit low, and I was slapped in the face when reaching for it, hah!)

I’m glad the pricey Nike gear I purchased last year made it through the offseason. I’m not entirely in the mood to purchase new $60+ cleats, or Nike Pro pants/shirts ($25-$50 each). The gloves are still fantastic, as if I’m using stickum.

Hooray for more athletic weight loss!

As Joe’s saying goes: “UP THE FIELD!!”

In Fantasy Football, I went First Place in all four leagues I am playing in this year.

1. 15 team office league (10-2)
2. 10 team money league ($20/person) (8-5)
3. 10 team random draft league (10-3)
4. 10 team auction draft league (11-2)

Basically, it’s bragging rights until next football season. We enter the Fantasy Football playoffs this week, and with all four teams Packers heavy on players, and the Packers still fighting for a playoff spot, I should have a great shot at a Superbowl win in at least three of them.

I still need to find time to better customize this blog-o-rama of a website, so we’ll see!
