1) Got the 15" MacBook Pro. Love it, although I'm a little bitter that I can't mount it as a virtual drive on the desktop G5.

Becaue I'd love to mount my new laptop. IYKWIMAITYD.

2) Spoiler tag for those of you who haven't seen the Grace v Hughes UFC fight.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Watched the UFC last night with Sophie, DC2020 and our friend Steph. Royce Gracie pretty much got his shit talking hiney handed to him by a stronger, faster fighter. The days where people don't know what submission fighting is are over guys. If you want to win, you'd better bring a world-class physique and a well-rounded game.

Of course, back when he won the first 3 UFCs, Royce was fighting 4 times in an evening-- who among the new fighters could do that? Those were the good old days of the UFC when you could watch the 55 year old kempo karate / kung-fu guy beat up a 660 pound Sumo wrestler before being dry-humped into a painful submission by some Gracie.



Sophie and DC2020 said that they could see me fighting in the UFC. I see me submitting to an arm bar in the first 1:30, but not before I gave the guy a swoled up face. He would win, but I would still look so pretty.

To this end, I've been thinking about some possible fight names. My current name is Chris "Naptime" Kennedy, but there could be some other ones:

"Faaabulous!"

"The Lavender Assassin"

"Boom Boom" <-- I know Ray Mancini had this name, and I know his career ended really tragically, but I *love* the name Boom Boom for a fighter.

^ Totally True Story: I trained with a guy in S.F. who was a pro fighter and his nickname was "Sexual Chocolate." That's what it said on the back of his trunks. Later, he changed his fight name to "Saucy Mac Sauce."

3) I'll be in Germany for this world cup. It will be a huge red-letter to do off my life list. I am RED. TO. GO. I'm backing the U.S., Germany, Brazil (well, yeah), England and Argentina. Plus, I'm sure I'll pick up an underdog or two after watching the opening round.

4) Found an interesting and melencholy card among my mother's things this week. She was a multi-faceted lady, but (I think) too frightened in the end to really be who she was. I don't want any of you to go out like that. I want you all to remind yourself of this:

Failure on your own terms still tastes like victory.

5) Soph and I have DC2020 staying with us; he's taking the summer off and spending the first chunk of it sleeping on our couch and playing the X-Box 360 I bought him for his birthday back in April. It's so good to have him here. smile We've been cooking-- I've learned how to stir-fry and julienne. I kid you not. I even dropped the bomb on him, by serving him my lone signature dish; miso and chicken soup with italian herbs, shittake mushrooms and baby bok choy. It actually tastes better than it sounds.

Sophie suggested that we put one of DC2020's televisions in the living room so that we could both play video games at the same time. It's like somebody over-inflated a fat nerd, and he exploded in a rain of smaller nerds:
