Daily MISdom

I often wonder why Matthew doesn't just write his own blog. He's written more blog stuff this week than I have. I already know he'd have at least two readers, since that seems to be as many as I have now.

My blogging hasn't been and isn't going to be very regular right now because it's the end of the semester, so I'm equal parts super busy and enjoying some freedom. Most of my students are probably either finished blogging or finishing up, so now would be a fine time to sort of look back over what they've written. That's one of my tasks for the next week or so (because I'm going to grade their blogs).

I made the mistake of putting Marvel Trading Card Game back into my DS. It's kind of like cocaine for me; now I can't stop playing it. I haven't written anything for the Star-News blog in over a month now, and I don't think that any readers would be particularly interested in a review of a two-year-old niche-market game. In other words, I should probably become addicted to a different game that I could actually write about.

I already missed Puzzle Quest: Galactrix this month because my schedule was as full as a Catholic priest's schedule in the months leading up to Y2K. That's another game that I think would require rehab.

The truth is that I'm still not out of the woods. I still have to administer two exams, complete one of my own, and then grade about a month's worth of my students' work. And its spring, so it's not like I have any free weekends or anything.

Speaking of that, I'm supposed to graduate next weekend.

Bill Simmons was absolutely right when he said that the Bulls/Celtics series is a historic series. And he said that almost a week ago. I had last night's game on our primary TV because I was that excited about it. Nothing against KG, but his absence has made for some great basketball.

The original The Office is going to be on [adult swim] in the near future. I'm definitely down with that, but I still don't understand why Cartoon Network plays so damned much live-action stuff, especially since so much of it is bad. I used to blog about [as] so often. Now I barely watch it. I did watch this G.I. Joe "movie" recently. That was certainly worth an hour of time (if you have it).

QotD:

Boston or Chicago?

My take: Chicago. During last year's Finals, I felt like these Celtics had to win the 'ship then, if ever. I didn't make the same prediction about first round series, but it's starting to look like that could be the case.
