House Cleaning

Loyal readers, forgive me for my lack of postings lately. Unfortunately, I haven't been really motivated to write about anything of note lately, and I hate forcing posts. However, I decided that has to stop, so I am bringing you my thoughts on several things from the past week or so.

#1...The NBA Playoffs have started, and I intended to offer picks for the first series of games. However, this weekend (Blue/Gold and Horsetostal among others) was a blur. Thus, you'll have to wait for next round to hear my picks. Since my Sixers have been eliminated, and Agent Zero is injured and not playing, I really have no true cheering interest. Thus, I am jumping on one bandwagon (Golden State) and walking next to another (Chicago). My reasons: Golden State is young, talented, and has a great coach...also, who doesn't love Cinderella. Any sporting event I can watch with a certain roommate of mine makes me want to see them play as many games as possible, in this case, the Bulls. Also, gotta love their announcers. Stay tuned for next rounds picks.

#2...The last weekend, as I just mentioned, was a blur. However, here are some noteworthy events. A) Watching a Ultimate Frisbee vs. Ski Team (Yes, ND does have a ski team apparently) Keg Race. This was terribly pathetic, as within about ten minutes boys were puking and girls were passing out. I really haven't ever seen anythign like this, and honestly think 12-year olds would have defeated either team. I have no idea who won. B) The Blue and Gold game was uneventful. No one save Junior Jabbie stood out, but the Defense looked much more aggressive. I love Corwin Brown. Love. Yet, the highlight had to be watching Lou roam the sidelines again. We need to get him back on the field every game, but thats another story. C) I have just broken off the "I" key on my laptop. Thus, sometimes the "I" refuses to type. Deal wth it. C) Horsetostal was out of control. Hats off to the guys for throwing it and truly givng the mythical 100% effort. Truly legendary amounts of alcohol were drank. D) Bookstore Basketball has reached the Sweet Sixteen. My rooting interests are none other than the Domestic Pancake House, led by everyone's MVP John Bush. #1 in your hearts, #White Shirt in your programs.

#3...The last thing I wanted to do was apologize for the lack of previously promised Top Ten lists. Unfortunately, my first mistake was believing in my roommate to write them. Until I saw one, I should have never promised them. To make up for this, and in an attempt at motivating him, I am currently working on other ideas to replace his weekly column. If anyone has anything good, let me know. Sweet!
