Pick Safe Teams in March Madness.

Pick Safe Teams in March Madness.


My winning percentage in my bracket is 17.1%. That's right, I have correctly picked winning teams 17.1% of the time. And we're still on the easy-to-call games.


Apparentally choosing schools based on proximity to locations you have lived in your life is not the best method for picking winning teams. It seems that choosing teams according to their seed yields better results.

Win Chicken Little

Win Chicken Little.

I hate this game. Well, all video games outside the Wii, GH and DDR really but this one a lot. I am horrible at video games and I get sooo frustrated when I die over and over and my progress is lost and I have to do the same boards again and again. If it were up to me, I would not play them. Ever.

My kids it seems hate to play them too. My husband bought them "Ice Age 2" and "Chicken Little" to play on the Game Cube but we quickly learned both were too hard for them so they had me show them how to play. Somehow they tricked me into taking over playing completely while they watch. It is the first thing they ask for when they wake me up in the morning. The request for me to play now even comes before "Get me something to eat!"

I beat Ice Age 2 fairly quickly but that darn Chicken Little is more advanced (Ages 10 and up, very tricky) and is taking me forEVER. Keep in mind that to show just HOW bad I am at video games, I have been fully utilizing the online cheat sheet. The walkthrough also tells me I am on board 22/24 so freedom from the shackles of this game is in sight.

Note to Jake: Do not buy any more video games for the kids unless YOU are willing to play the entire game for them.
