things on the internet

"Inshallah," the feature article I wrote about last winter's India voyage, was just posted to the WWW. If you're here then you have time to fucking waste so go there and read. Also, surrendering my fate to the cosmos once again and boarding a plane to Spain in two weeks. I've been reading my Hemingway to get ready.

In other news, I cannot tell a lie. I got paid by ESPN to predict the women’s top three finishers for an “X-Games Preview.” Haha. Go here for the full story. Pretty funny how things actually turned out. Hey, I did my best.

My picks were this:

Slopestyle:

1)    Jamie Anderson

2)    Cheryl Maas

3)    MFR

Wildcard: Janna Meyen

Pipe:

1)    Gretchen

2)    Torah

3)    Kelly

Wildcard: Jamie Anderson

The actual results were this:

Slopestyle:

1)    Jenny Jones

2)    Spencer O’Brien

3)    Megan Ginter

4)    Kjersti Oestgaard Buaas

5)    Hana Beaman

6)    Kimmy Fasani

Zero out of zero! In my defense, Janna, MFR, and Cheryl didn’t even show up to the event. Not sure what happened to Jamie.

Pipe:

1)    Torah Bright

2)    Kelly Clark

3)    Hannah Teter

4)    Ellery Hollingsworth:

5)    Kaitlyn Farrington

6)    Gretchen Bleiler

Two out of the top three, not bad I guess. In my defense, Gretchen double scorpioned on her first finals run and didn’t make it back up to wage war on the other two. 

Anyway, that's all I have to say about that.
