In no particular order, five people my age (+/- a few years) who make me feel embarrassed about my accomplishments thus far:

1. Randall Munroe (25), xkcd creator, former NASA contractor, and giver of talks to Google.
2. Ezra Klein (25), political blogger for the Post and American Prospect.
3. Jared Allen (27), all-star defensive end, hunter, and mullet connoisseur.
4. A-Trak (27), world champion turntablist, Kanye West tour DJ, and record label owner.
5. The xx (20), an incredibly- (and deservedly-) hyped band composed of kids who can’t legally drink at their US shows.

As an aside, when looking up Hot Chip’s frontman Alexis Taylor, I discovered the following:

Going 3-0 last week won’t do me any good if I can’t pull it out this week in round two of my fantasy playoffs–and my opponent has DeSean Jackson, Ray Rice, and Brandon Marshall.

In related NFL news, I’ve decided to buy a Rice jersey. Yes, half for the dumb joke.

Last week: 3-0
Overall: 24-10-1

I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date:

Last week: 2-1
Overall: 21-10-1

Last week: 2-1

So, not only did I end up winning for the second straight week, I bet heavy on the Dolphins. Ricky Williams promptly rewarded me with 31 fantasy points and a win. And I have Aaron Rodgers and Donald Driver as they go up against the Stafford and Megatron-less Lions on Thanksgiving. Life is pretty sweet.

Last week: 2-1
Overall: 17-8-1
