The Olympic clock right outside the Embassy keeps ticking away, constantly nagging this office concierge that the games are just around the corner (dammit, Chloe!) -- yet I still don't know who will be coming over from the Philippines. Turns out the qualification competitions practically go all the way up the opening ceremonies, so I really can't tell how many athletes, coaches and officials will be arriving right until the last minute.
Ah, if only Olympic qualification was as simple as fantasy basketball: quantifiable, over by mid-April, disputes settled by profanity laced message boards, and above all......a Filipino lawyer/diplomat FTW!!!!!!!
I'm torn between getting Jessica Sanchez to sing the national anthem at my awarding ceremony, or hiring Spandau Ballet to yell "You. Are. Gold!"
But what, you ask, of MetroManilaBalls, that 10 year-old FSO-laden league of which I am Sovereign? Fare thee well? I can proudly say that this year I made deft use of all my fantasy commissioner powers -- entering into fantasy CBA negotiations, settling a fantasy players strike, signing a new fantasy TV deal -- and finished the league a fantastic...um, fourth.
Again. Kinda makes me the fantasy Fulham.
Let us not, however, lose sight of what is truly important: I destroyed the LLDD-Hyphen-L. That's right, for the second year running, I finished better than the better half. No more holding your 2009 championship over me, sweetie!
(OK, you gave birth and took care of the LLDD-baby the whole season. Still.)
