This morning on the radio they said the Bears are 11-2. That means they’ve played 13 games already. I didn’t even know it was football season (maybe on my unconscious level I did).

As far as I’m concerned it’s still baseball season.

I can’t stand political correctness, but even I can be influenced by crazy people. Everytime I say "Merry Christmas" I feel uneasy, because political correctness lunatics cry foul anytime a person is offended. I’ve heard this crap so many times, but no more!

In a recent Zogby poll they found that the phrase "Happy Holidays" is more offensive than "Merry Christmas," and by a HUGE margin. They found that 95% of people are not offended by Merry Christmas, while 46% are offended by Happy Holidays. This is political correctness at its most retarded. In an effort to not offend 5% of the population it ends up offending half the population.

Equipped with this new information I will gladly declare "Merry Christmas" all season long.

The next Wii game I’m looking forward to is called Wii Play. Much like Wii Sports, Wii Play is a compilation of what are really full fledged tech demos. There are 9 total games, from a duck hunt style game to a laser hockey game.

The best part is that the game comes packaged with a Wii Remote, so for $50, it’s like getting the game for $10. Even if the Duck Hunt style game is the only decent one, it’s not a bad deal for $10.

Hopefully third-party developers are paying attention to what works on the Wii.

 

 

I also picked up some silicon cases off ebay from HONG KONG! If you didn’t know already, they sell silicon cases for everything imaginable…ipods, ds lites, palm pilots, wii remotes, etc. They’re cool because they don’t add a lot of bulk to items, protect them from scratches, and they’re a little see through (unlike leather). Here is the wii remote cases I bought today.

 

I’m still here…and still not very inspired. I’ve spent all weekend working on lesson plans and grading tests. On top of that I have beginning teacher "work" I have to do. It’s like doing college work, but even worse because you’re already done with college, and you’ve got people telling you that "NOOOO, you’re not done you idiot!!!"

I still don’t know what I want for Christmas…how about $600 to build a home theatre pc? my media player ran for 12 hours straight last night, so I have some renewed faith in the little box. I like books, so those always work. Hardcover only please.

I’m watching what the Dodgers do this off-season…so far there has been good and bad, but I’ve got faith in Ned. We’ve got more starting pitching than anybody in all of baseball.

Good to see UCLA beat USC…though I really don’t care. UCLA was one of my "maybe" schools back in High School, so I’ve got more love for UCLA than USC for that minor reason.

I miss Zelda.
