How Do You Survive?

PrintSo, it's officially the off-season. 191 days until the beginning of the 2009 season. We have the playoffs to watch, including the Dodgers getting beat by the Cubs. We eagerly await the announcer of the winner of the Cy Young award. We have winter meetings to look forward to.
But what else keeps you guys sane? I go to school at the University of Oregon, and naturally, I miss my home by the bay. Its not easy surviving the off-season while at home, but its even harder up in Eugene. Sure, I have the 49ers, Oregon football, and Oregon basketball until pitchers and catchers report to camp, but it's no Giants baseball. So, any suggestions to keep me occupied, besides school work...?

Jameson and PBR
Got me through school at SDSU (barely)
The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and the chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby.
PBR? Thumbs up
Beer Snobs? Thumbs Down.

I wouldn't say snob
But I don’t feel like wasting money to drink beer that tastes like piss.
Beers I drink most:

Corona

I kind of like Rolling Rock and Moosehead for cheap beers
At least over Bud/Coors/Miller/PBR.
I still haven’t met a Sam Adams I dislike. The Summer Ale is the best beer for a 110 degree Central Valley afternoon.

Baseball is the only sport I’m interested in, so the offseason can be tough. I’m usually burnt out by the end of the season, but by December or so, I start getting itchy for baseball again. A few years ago, during the offseason I actually started listening to archived games via gameday audio, I missed it so much! But I’ve got a kid now, so I don’t have time for that now.

I’m similar in the sense that, today I’m sad that the season is over, but I could use a break. But by December, I need it back. I’m usually home for winter break and I will always go get dinner at Acme Chophouse once over the break. I’ll also take pictures of the ballpark.

Also being a Niner fan, I do find entertainment during the offseason (though less these days than in 1981-2000), but the weeks between the Super Bowl and Spring Training can be tough. I recommend lots of Roger Angell, Burns’ “Baseball” and Maker’s Mark. Also daily visits here, Grant’s House of Fun and Dangling Participles.

that’s sorta funny, since Newcastle should be relegated back to reality this at the end of this season. Coca-Cola Championship League FTW!!
Of course, in this same reality Hull City will stay in the top six. I fully expect that once Newcastle actually finds a manager, they should stave off relegation.
Castillo got the DFA. Guestimate for Castillo DFA to come before the 2009 season = 2.

Video games, reading, writing, cooking, and beadwork is how I keep myself occupied during the cold dark winter.
Plus I have my university applications due this fall/winter and I’m moving to the South Bay in December so I imagine that will take up a lot of my time and energy.

Mostly sit around staring at the wall, waiting for next season to begin.
This offseason, I’m sure I’ll also have plenty of opportunities to berate people for making idiotic Matt Cain for One Guy trade proposals. So there’s the other part of my offseason.

tivo ftw
I have 3 Giants games [all are victories over the Dodgers] saved on the tivo for watching whenever I miss baseball. I also have some of Barry’s milestone games still saved from last year.
Otherwise the Sharks, playing soccer, going hiking, and keeping up with lesson plans, and my own homework will keep me busy.
Following the Sharks is nice, ‘cuz I can record the games and watch them the next day. I don’t have to worry about spoilers for hockey here in Sacramento! And I can actually get to bed at a decent hour. [Wake-up time around here is 5am]
college and pro football, college and pro basketball, alcohol and sex
probably a little bit of Sharks hockey, too.

Be careful with that!
I haven’t been able to lose weight for about 10 years now. After jumping up and down and yelling, and showing a food / exercise log [~1400 calories a day and 2-3 hours at the gym a day] to the doctor, he finally condescended to allow me the privilege of getting my thyroid checked.
My thyroid apparently is not working correctly and we’ve yet to find the right combination of meds to (a) help get the weight off and (b) keep me awake in the afternoons!
So if you try to lose weight, and you can’t, have some blood work done! Don’t wait as long as I did! Oh, and if necessary get a new doctor!
For me...
Starting to get frustrating. I’ve gained probably around 20-30 pounds in….year and a half? Always used to stay the same weight whether I ate anything under the sun or nothing under the sun. I guess that means I have to start being normal and exercise.

I know your metabolism slows down as you age, and that doesn’t help weight loss. That’s why I waited so long to go to the doctor with my concerns. I probably worked out and dieted for 5 years before I figured there had to be something else going on. Then, since I have Kaiser?? it took 2 more years, and 2 doctors before I could get a test done. They kept telling me I was too young for my thyroid to be an issue. So much for med school.
yea..
Kenshin and his kind…..grrrr…..

Ya, we keep a close eye on all my hormonal stuff because of a family history of diabetes. We’ve checked my thyroid and it’s a little on the high side of activity, which should mean I can lose weight. My doctor is really cool and he’s never been on me to lose weight. All my bloodwork comes back good. I just want to lose weight for me.
