I watched SportsCenter this weekend. That's nothing unusual for me, but I guess this weekend was a pretty monumentous weekend for sports. As always, I was just waiting for the 30-second highlight reel of the Braves game... that is if they win, which I can tell by the constant scroller at the bottom of the screen, or going on-line. If they lose, I usually don't watch SportsCenter. Although I am glad I saw the bit on Glavine, the rest of that stuff, even Bonds, I don't really care about. I don't think I care at all. In fact, I'm just sick of hearing about it.
ESPN missed one of the biggest sports stories from the weekend though, and what I believe truly made it monumentous. I beat my personal best on the Yahoo game Super BounceOut, thank you very much. The old score had stood for four long years, untouched and untested, for though I had tried, I had not come even close. I thought I had past my prime; I thought my glory days were behind me. But ho! ...in one game, I racked up a mind-boggling 185,410 points, crushing my old record by nearly 20,000.
I'm not sure how great an accomplishment this is, but I guarantee that there is no asterick by this record. Anyways, there's not much as far as local competition in BounceOut, but I challenge the good people in blogland to top 185,410. I don't think it can be done.

Thanks to this blog, I am now addicted to Super Bounce Out. Not a day has gone by since reading your story that I haven't struggled to complete at least 4 levels of this torturous game. I did finally get to level 6 one day and now my current high score is just over a mere 60,000. I anticpate it will take years of practice to achieve such an accomplishment as your 185,410 score, but by golly I'm gonna give it my best shot.
