" The whole world is worried about economic crisis, and we are worried about fantasy points."

Damn right we are! Who cares about the Economy! I want to know who plays Sunday on Friday, not on Sunday!

Fantasy Stress is a condition that fantasy players get. It comes in different forms, hair pulling, extra smoking, extra food, lack of sleep, constant changes of lineup, following up tidbit stories about the smallest details on players and teams, it never ends, and even during the time games are played, fantasy stress continues and you want to win. After you win, you go and try to win the next one, and the next one, even if you have not lost, you just keep stressed, and its not even for money or a trophy, it is just stress.

Every week I have been going through these phases, and myself and Nibaq keep messaging forward and backwards and upwards and downwards every day on the outcomes and projections, even when he is out of Kuwait, we have our conversations.

This week i have an even match-up, so that makes me even more stressed, but the good thing about it all is that I am where I want to be when the league started, and hopefully by week 10 I can position myself properly and not worry.

In 2005, I read my first book written by George Cockcroft, who writes under the name Luke Rhinehart, and the book was The Dice Man, one of the classics of literature. After that I read the follow-up, In Search of the Dice Man.Recently, among the books I got, was Whim, which was re-published in 2002.



It is an edited version, or an extended version, of the Adventures of Whim, which was published earlier but was not available again until 2002. It talks about Whim, the son of Lord Chance, who is sent down to Earth to be with humans. The book is about 400 pages, but you can finish it quick, I did.

The story starts fine, until somewhere midway, then it gets into quicksand mode, where the story is stuck without much movement or major events, yet you want to finish it. Also, depending on the version you get, it might have spelling mistakes, typos, or even time or character confusion. One Character who had black hair, somehow became blond, and you think the story is in the 1970s, then you find out its in the 1980s, or 1990s, you are not quite sure. I was disappointed by the ending.

Overall worth a read, but I would recommend you read The Dice Man first, if you never read that.
