I think this is actually the first season where I remembered to make my picks every week of the season. Anyways for the regular season I went 155-101. Last week began the playoffs 3-1. This week the picks get a little more bold.
Seattle over Chicago
Pittsburgh over Baltimore
Green Bay over Atlanta
New York over New England

Bowling Scores 1-11-11
233/203/237 673 Series
Straight from an hour and a half of getting my teeth drilled and face injected with novocaine, decided to deliver. Game 1 began with XXXXX in a row. The lanes were pretty dry outside the 10 board and fairly wet around the 15. I left a 6-10 in the 6th and failed to convert wrapping the 6 around the 10 for my first open frame of the night. Finished strong though.
Second game the lanes were drying out big time further down the lane and all over the place players' lines that were fine in game 1 were having their ball dive in late and many splits were left. I struggled but gladly had no splits the first five frames of the 2nd game. However I did not keep it clean with my spares and failed to convert a 2-4 sleeper as well as a missed 10 pin. Around frame 7 I decided that instead of standing on the 20 board and shooting at the 10, I would move right about 3 boards so standing around the 17 and still shooting the 10 board having a much straighter line to the pocket. This ended up working out and I was getting a lot of carry. I nearly 5 bagger'd out XXXX9 to salvage a deuce.
Third game I kept my same game plan mentality that I finished the second with and it was a pretty consistent result on both lanes 31 and 32. Kicked things off with XXXX in a row before leaving a 10 pin in the 5th. I converted however and finished out the game no tap 300 style.
Everyone else struggled for the most part on both lanes. We lost the first 2 games by a combined 14 pins:
798-806 (L)
867-873 (L)
But took the third game and total pins to go 3-4 on the night:
870-836 (W)
We already have a bid for the playoffs so from here on out it's just about Pin money so with each win we get a little more in return come March. We sit at 84-64 for the season which going into the night was the 2nd best record in the league.
My average sits at a ridiculous 205.46 through 63 games with 12,944 total pins.

Black Swan 8.5/10
I tally 27 movies screened/watched/rated this year (down from 36 last year) and to be honest it will continue to decline as we expect to be a full digital theatre by the end of next summer so there will be fewer and fewer oppertunities or needs to screen films at 2 in the morning. (That and "I don't watch movies")
Horrible Mention
Twilight-Eclipse -Negative Eleventy Billion
Somebody please take Stephanie Meyer and Robert Pattenson out behind the shed and put'em down Old Yeller style.
Bottom 3
#3. Resident Evil-Afterlife 4/10
I haven't seen any in the series so this one was quite ridiculous and I'm just not a fan of movies based off of games. Hell I'm not even a fan of games. This movie was over the top ridiculous and not in a cool Pirahna 3D kind of way either.
#2. Repo Men- 4/10
Renting people organs and then repossessing them if they can't make the payments? Original Concept I suppose but aside from a couple of cool kills it was just all over the place. The swerve at the end was interesting but almost a year later I can't remember it being mindblowing or anything.
#1. The Last Airbender- 2/10
Was this movie supposed to be serious? I was laughing at all the cheezy facial expressions as the different elements of the earth were stirred up to use as weapons. (When we were in the Gulf War did we use butter as weapons?) Terrible worst movie I screened all year.
Enough of the bad on to the good...
Honorable Mention-
Pirahna 3D 8/10 Hillarious over the top movie that did just what I hoped it would do. While the 3D wasn't really necessary, this Spring Break Slaughter was just what the projectionist ordered.
The Black Swan 8.5/10
Aronofsky's first film since he did the Wrestler doesn't disappoint. You'll never look at Ballet the same again.
The Girl Who played with Fire 8.5/10
The second movie based on the Swedish book series by Steig Larson. Lisbeth Salander is a great character that merged well from story to on screen. Subtitled yes, but worth looking into. Make sure you begin with the first movie though or you'll be confused.
Top 3
#3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 9/10
Ah yes what I was just talking about. The first movie was just slightly better than the second. I've also read the trilogy so that may also influence my rating here. I suggest checking both the book and movie out.
#2. Shutter Island 9/10
Another one that I remember the trailer for a holiday release just for it to get pushed back to February so I read the book as well as I couldn't wait for it to come out. Amazing performance by Dicaprio and company. Well done.
#1. Inception 9.5/10
Great year for Dicaprio as Inception is one of those movies where you have to pay attention the entire time and it actually makes you think what the hell is going on in the juggle of Dreams and Reality throughout. What's the cliche comment here? ah yes a real MindF*ck of a movie. So if your idea of a great movie is sitting drugged out through a Seth Rogen comedy where you zone out and drool on your shirt sleeve for 2 hours while texting your BFF then this movie wouldn't be for you but then again none of these movies I've mentioned would be.
Good Night.
