http://zundevil.livejournal.com/61883.html
Same look, all new boredom! May 12th, 2012 at 3:56 PM. In the most recent message (a mere 4.33 months back! I expressed optimism in a promising upcoming year. Thus far I daresay I underestimated things; this years been crazy wild and vividly memorable and new. The past six months (including last Novembers trip to NY/NJ/Europe) have probably been the greatest half-year I can recall. Tho its not all been perfect, and I was dealt something of a setback in recent months. PS Hey, you in Hawaii! I didnt forget...

One Year Later - ZD's Luxurious e-Villa
http://zundevil.livejournal.com/61650.html
Same look, all new boredom! Jan 1st, 2012 at 12:03 AM. Lets say its tied for first with some other years and leave it there for now. This time into a karaoke microphone, the previous time(s) almost two decades prior at the SMHS sand courts on a quintessential steamy Phoenix summer evening. Lowered-expectations, and it all came together nicely at Ultimate playoffs - possibly due to a sprinting-induced hallucination, who knows? Life is good, and specifically this life.

Same look, all new boredom! 2012: The End of the Beginning. Dec 31st, 2012 at 7:53 PM. Ive gotta hand it to me; while I almost never post anything here on LJ (and instead pretend to be clever in smaller bits on Facebook), Ive been consistent with the big December 31st grand finale. Those previous ones summarized the year in blithe vagueness, and theres plenty more of that on tap here. And many of them even learned (! Time, for one thing. But then, the season isnt over yet, now is it? Is that of someone w...

London Olympics Scorecard - ZD's Luxurious e-Villa
http://zundevil.livejournal.com/62219.html
Same look, all new boredom! Aug 16th, 2012 at 1:51 AM. 30 - Fencing: Perhaps its my disappointment in Mariel Zagunis absolutely collapsing in the semifinals - and then performing similarly in the bronze medal match - but I was amazed by how much this struck me as inferior to basically every other sport. The rules seem awfully unjust, there are too many pointless (literally and figuratively) double-touches, possibly the saddest in-sport story. Who debuted at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics) competed, even if its ...

Olympic Wrapup - ZD's Luxurious e-Villa
http://zundevil.livejournal.com/34748.html
Same look, all new boredom! Aug 25th, 2008 at 11:43 PM. Well, so much for the Beijing Games of 2008. I truly don't think I've watched this much Olympics since the halcyon days of 1992.back when I would catch Countdown to the Headbangers Ball. And harbor illusions of being an American table tennis team member. Times have changed, but not the love of sport. Let's get to it! I'm going to include ten awesome moments/people/whatevers and five not-so-awesome whatevers. You know how it goes. The finish by David...

http://zundevil.livejournal.com/19680.html
Same look, all new boredom! Apr 24th, 2008 at 9:08 PM. It's my turn to expound on the rounds from this year's World Sudoku Championship. As has been done to great effect here. And possibly elsewhere too. Someday pictures will join the program, but for now you just get wonky text. Also, unlike last year, I'm just going to write all my tournament-related thoughts in one (ok, maybe two) fell swoop(s). Sorry for the convenience. Round 1: Watch Me Jumpstart. This round included six sudoku variants and four cl...

Same look, all new boredom! Absolutely NON-brief TRASHionals Recap. Apr 22nd, 2008 at 1:20 AM. As mentioned in an earlier post. TRASHionals XI was held in early April in Chattanooga. For the eighth straight year (has it been that long? Round One: You, Me, and Ashley Dupre 245, Mike Keenan Employment Agency LLC 245. Or Derby County (? Our tie put their record behind that of their finals' opponents. My tossup hits/misses, plus what triggered it). And the mention of Mayer was enough to get me to buzz. If I ...
