NCAA Women's Volleyball Championships Coming to Sacramento!!

http://www.sacsports.com

I ordered tickets a whole year ago for this, and I finally received them today. I am excited to go to this, a real NCAA Championship!! I'll probably never get to a Final Four or a NBA Championships or a World Series or Masters, so this may be my live-in-person sports highlight.

Robin Sparkles

This is the "Let's Go To The Mall" music video parody from the CBS show "How I Met Your Mother" - classic stuff!!

Here's the lyrics as posted to about.com:

I love finding these old nostalgia sites!!! Here's one on old shopping malls. There's even a few entries for Sacramento malls

Jones Soda Holiday Pack

Jones Soda has released their annual Holiday Pack sodas - I can't wait to try the "Antacid" flavor - I wonder if it will tase chalky, like a Tums tablet?? I still have one pack from last year, maybe I'll have to bring them to the Family Christmas Eve party so everyone can taste.

Fantasy Basketball League

My friend Kevin organized a Fantasy Basketball League, so I thought I'd join in. The draft was yesterday (players are "drafted" automatically, depending on how each owner ranked them). Here's my team:

• Steve Nash (Phoenix)
• Chris Paul (New Orleans/OKC)
• Dwight Howard (Orlando)
• Lamar Odom (L.A. Lakers)
• Samuel Dalembert (Philadelphia)
• Charlie Villanueva (Milwaukee)
• Kevin Martin (Sacramento)
• Andres Nocioni (Chicago)
• Jason Terry (Dallas)
• Caron Butler (Washington)
• Randy Foye (Minnesota)
• Antonio Daniels (Washington)
• Channing Frye (New York Knicks)

Plenty of scorers, not a ton of rebounds/blocked shots. Oh well, the NBA starts for real next week, we'll see how it goes!!

Public Home | Marty Kobata | Fotki.com

I decided to unify all my pictures into one site. Will be adding more as I go along...

Public Home Marty Kobata Fotki.com

Yet another homepage (martykobata.com)

Microsoft was giving away free domain names, so of course I had to create yet another website for myself.
I think I'll use that one as my "Hobby" website, with my model cars and other collections.

This is Casey Mears' 2004 Dodge Intrepid sponsored by Target and to promote awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I thought it was a neat design because you don't see pink race cars very often!

Dinner At Mikuni

Gohan for the Birthday Boy!!!
















Watch Your Head!!!



















Thomas and Ann's "Off to School" Dinner at Mikuni's... Not sure what Thomas is looking at...
I think Ann had "1" piece of bad food!?!?
Sorry for the poor pictures (I guess a 2-megapixel cameraphone doesn't take good indoor flash shots...)

West Capital Raceway

Check out the pictures at West Capital Raceway I donated scans of a bunch of my old racing programs to the site.

DC Comics - Absolute Watchmen

DC Comics

I just picked this book up thru Borders via Amazon.com. It's a HUGE, weighty version of the classic series. It is definitely not just a comic book!!

Sony Ericsson W800i

I think I've found my next cell phone:

W800i�-�Overview - Music player - 34MB internal memory 512MB Memory Stick PRO Duo� included - Mobile phone - Sony Ericsson

From what I've been able to figure out, it should be avaiable directly from SonyEricsson for $399. Whenever it comes out, that is.

Second Try 

JPM - 2004 Gold Cup - Race of Champions

First Sprint Car race I've been to in probably ten years - Now I remember what I've missed just watching it on TV these last few years.
