Rocktober

I hope I don't get sued for using this as my blog entry title. Apparently Denver is facing some copywrite infringement issues since using the term. I guess someone got to it first.

So. . . this is the first time I have even lived in a city that had a professional baseball team (I don't count the San Antonio Mission - they weren't major league. . . and their mascot was a puffy taco!) I am beginning to think I am good luck. The two years around the time I lived in San Antonio, the Spurs were national champions. The year I lived in Washington the Seahawks went to the Superbowl. And now the Rockies are in the World Series. Everyone should want me to move to their city.

As every good Denverite did, I made an attempt to get World Series Tickets. Big surprise - I was not successful. I did, however, make the local news. Here's a quote from a 9News article:

"Seven students in a University of Denver class weren't as lucky as they were continually booted out of the system. They say their luck seemed fitting, though, since they were in an "International Disaster Psychology" class at the time."

I guess I jinxed myself by not taking class more seriously. I swear that's the only time I haven't paid attention!

Wait...is that the class you usually google-chat in? :) I think you should try to get a news outlet to pick up on your story of being a good luck charm. Someone just might go for it.

RYC: The movie was Prime. Uma Thurman, Meryl Streep, Bryan Greenberg. OTH = One Tree Hill, just one of many quality CW (formerly WB) shows.

P.S. The word verification this time is super tricky. It could be vxwvt or vxvwt or vxvvvt. The middle is all run together. What do I choose?
