Home about 9 hours early from Austin because both of our games today were cancelled due to the rain that fell there during the night and this morning. For those interested (probably none), here’s the breakdown of the tournament:
Austin Tournament Results:
(Game 1) vs. Westbrook: L 4-6
(Game 2) vs. Tomball: L 4-17
(Game 3) vs. Austin Crockett: W 5-2
(Game 4) vs. Arlington Bowie: W 10-5
(Games 5 and 6 Cancelled)
Current Record: 2-2 (0-0)
Now off to start on all of my makeup work….

No updates for the next 3 days — Why? No, not because I’m too lazy to update my blog that I said I would update daily more than once but because I’ll be in Austin at a baseball tournament. We tied our last preseason game vs. Duncanville 4-4, so our “official” preseason record was 4-1-1. The stakes are a little higher now, but we’re not to district yet which is when the games really start to matter.
Sultans of Swat Regular Season…..Begin.

2/13/05: “Now I’ve started Beyond Good and Evil on Gamecube and really haven’t decided whether or not I like it. It’s definitely a very different game, and I personally think it could have used a little more refining in the control department before it was released. We’ll see how this game ranks once I get a little farther into it.”
2/21/05: Well, now that I’ve finished BG&E, I can say that some of my concerns in the beginning of the game got dealt with, others didn’t. Overall, still a really good game (great story for only being an 8-10 hour game) and even though the sequels will probably never come out (originally planned to be a trilogy, but the sales weren’t too hot on the first one), I’d probably get them if they ever show up. I also finished Star Fox Adventures today, a game I started back in September 2002. Granted, all I had to do was beat the final boss, but at least I finished it before I start SF: Assault.

Depending on when you want to stop counting, we either lost 1-3 or 2-3 yesterday to Flower Mound. Either way, we’re now 4-1 for the preseason with one game remaining before the Austin tournament (and the start of our regular season). Then in about a month we start district play which is the big determinant for our postseason hopes.

Baseball only had one game yesterday, so now we’re 2-0 in our scrimmages. We have another two games on Tuesday at HP, so we know what I get to do after school that day.
On the video game front, I’ve managed to complete Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy [GCN] (although I did use a strategy guide on this one) and Mario vs. Donkey Kong [GBA] (not worth it to use a guide since it was just a platformer/puzzle game, but I guess I can technically call it my 3rd :) ). Now I’ve started Beyond Good and Evil on Gamecube and really haven’t decided whether or not I like it. It’s definitely a very different game, and I personally think it could have used a little more refining in the control department before it was released. We’ll see how this game ranks once I get a little farther into it.

Just finished the second of four performances of The Man Who Came to Dinner, the Senior Play this year. The remaining times are 7:00 tomorrow night and 2:00 Sunday afternoon. Some of you all still need to come…
Baseball pictures are tomorrow morning at 9, so I have to be up there around 8:30 in a white shirt and jeans. First scrimmage is Tuesday, so no time off for me.
