A glamourous job - sometimes

Hello all,

Here I am, it's 2:40 am and I am still at least 2 hours away from finishing my Thursday job - already on Friday. The work at Euroleague Basketball is a cool one. I gave up everything I had in Madrid to come over here and work in basketball - a dream coming true to me. You get to know players, coaches, fans or legends, the people in the office are cool and I am happy to be around. But Thursday nights means that we have to update our own Euroleague Fantasy game - the Euroleague Basketball Fantasy Challenge.

It is not fair for me to say good things about the game because basicly, I put the players prices, I adapted the rules from other games and I manage it until deep at night sometimes, but it is a terrific game for all basketball fans out there. It might be too late now with just 2 games to go in the Top 16, but you all should try next season - even when that means I will go even more sleepless. We had over 65,000 teams this season and people don't complain too much about it - we even get some love mail from time to time and ideas - some quite good - to improve it. The fantasy fever will disappear in two weeks and people will be ready to do their teams next October.

I must say I love MySpace. I got to know that a lot of bands who never made it still exist in here, bands like Power of Dreams, Airhead, Thousand Yard Stare or Northside - who are even back and touring around the UK!

I am in the process of losing weight, which in my case means suffering. I wish I could be one of those guys losing weight just like that, but I am not. I will be flying to Sevilla tomorrow at 13:45 and I plan to go to the gym before going to the airport and after hitting the bed at 5am or so. If I make it, the scene will be pathetic - me falling asleep on a static bike or something. But if I don't want to look like a circus seal this summer, there's no other way.

The fantasy process just finished it's second phase - out of 12. I better say goodbye and make some coffee.

Have a nice weekend!
