Tying Up the Loose Ends

There wasn't really much going on today, and I've taken notice that we are about 2 weeks deep into this blogging experience so I thought I would take this opportunity to look back a little and add to anything I've talked about in the past.
-US Transportation Secretary's take on the Toyota issue is for people to stop driving their Toyotas, at least until they've been fixed. He seemed very adamant about this in the afternoon today, but backed off due to backlash as the day progressed. I must say, I can't blame his stance.

- The intramural basketball season is up and running. Tonight was a bye for The Skins, but we'll be back in action next Monday. We currently sit at 1-2 after a 36-27 victory last Wednesday and a 32-31 heartbreaking loss on Monday. The loss Monday was hard to swallow. We had a key player miss the entire first half because he had shorts with pockets on, which is apparently against the rules. I missed a point blank shot that could've won us the game late, and had an all-around lousy game. 0 points, 2 rebounds. I am averaging 4.3 points and 3 rebounds. Considering that last performance, I'm doing pretty well with those numbers otherwise. Point is, the league is really fun and its a good opportunity to play some basketball. More updates will come.

- The Super Bowl is only a few days away now, the hype is all around it, and the coverage that seemed ridiculous 2 weeks ago is a lot more relevant now. I'm still sticking by my stance that the Saints are in trouble considering how they narrowly beat a Vikings team that really beat themselves. Although I'd rather see New Orleans win for its city, and because I like Drew Brees a lot more than Peyton Manning, my best guess is that the Colts will win.

- Not that its relevant to anything, but my friends and I worked through 2 and a half of the campaigns on Left 4 Dead 2 last Friday night, and with relative ease. Not much else to say on that front.

- I've been to BW3 once since our incident, and had no problems since. Service has returned to normal.

- Ever since I made my post about the Cavs and the Lakers, the Cavs have been rolling. They've won 9 in a row dating back to before my post, so I can't take all the credit, but its still reassuring. A big point is they are doing this without Mo Williams and Delonte West. They're still firing on all cylinders despite that fact. Shaq has stepped up, LeBron is playing much more of a point guard roll to pick up the slack, and its working very effectively. J.J. Hickson has played well as I would have hoped too. He has almost 10 points and over 6 rebounds a game in his last 6 games. That's well over his season stats. The Lakers are 5-2 since the post, which isn't all that bad either. Perhaps their shipping isn't sinking like I thought.

- Finally, my New Year's Executions are coming pretty well. Some are better than others, but I'm being more open and trying to do what I need to do. Its a slow and gradual process I am confident in.

Unfortunately, that's all I have for tonight.
