Winning my first game of Season 7 at Bronze IV

After going 8–2 in my placement matches and ending up in Bronze IV, I immediately fell on my face and dropped 3 in a row.

I’m still trying to get a handle on what exactly happened, but it was not fun. I did finally, though pick up my first win in B4 and know that this is the start of my climb up to Gold.

Current Season 7 breakdown: 9 wins, 5 losses – Bronze IV.

Supermoon

I guess last night was the last supermoon of the year and the closest one until 2034. I’d never heard of a supermoon until recently and I think Wikipedia just helped me figure out why…

Basically this is not astonomy, but astrology. I studied astronomy – the science – in college and sure it may have been a while ago, but I dont recall them ever mentioning anything called a supermoon.

Astrology according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary online, refers to “the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects.”

So basically all the “news” reports about a supermoon is the equivalent of them reporting we are in the Age of Aquarius or that Donald Trump is a Gemini.

When did the mainstream media become so desperate that they need to call upon astrology to get people to pay attention to them?

Wait I got more fantasy football

My season is most definitely over in fantasy football because the playoffs have taken over the league. So why am I still getting reports and notifications about my team losing?

I guess ESPN continues tracking team scores even when they aren’t in the playoffs. I thought we were done and pretty much abandoned my team – not swapping out for injuries or benching – but I got another loss reported. 2.2 points separated me from a win and I suppose if I had know we were continuing to keep track of things into the playoffs, I probably would have been able to win…oh well.
