Does it exist? Maybe. But thank god we’ll never have to hear about it used to describe the Patriots again.

Good job, Eli. And much more importantly, good job, Giants D.

…but a 13-3 season that culminated in reaching the conference championship game, I’ll take.

Go Pack!

P.S.: Now gotta count on Eli to beat the damned Pats… -.-

…that I love… and that I hate.

In no particular order:

I love…

1. The ending theme to Portal.
2. The ending to Portal.
3. And pretty much everything else about Portal.
4. Especially the weighted companion cube.
5. Symbian S60 v3.
6. Sailing Clicker.
7. GameTap.
8. The craziness that is this year’s college football season.
9. A good weekend evening spent with friends.
10. That one special person… still.

I hate…

1. Bill Belichick.
2. Patriot apologists who act as if their poor sportsmanship is justified because they were caught cheating.
3. Boston sports fans, especially those who still think the Red Sox are better (i.e. less evil) than the Yankees, and ESPECIALLY the ones who are also part of the group mentioned above.
4. That every single column written by Bill Simmons from the last 3 months dealing with those 3 things listed above.
5. Friday Night Lights being moved to Friday nights.
6. Friday Night Lights seemingly changing to a different direction, because writers almost seem to expect the show to die.
7. Time Warner Cable and/or the modem they provided.
8. Texas’ mediocre college football season.
9. The amount of time required to spend on WoW to accomplish anything.
10. The knot I feel in my stomach whenever I see, hear, or even think of…

Ubuntu 7.04 was released. Their naming scheme is fairly interesting – the version number is in the format of Y.MM (so 7.04 means released on April 2007), while the nickname follows the form of “Adjective Animal” – we’ve had “Warty Warthog”, “Hoary Hedgehog”, “Breezy Badger”, “Dapper Drake”, “Edgy Eft”, and now “Feisty Fawn”.

Anyway, I waited for it be out for a couple of weeks before deciding to update, but the progress went as clean as can be. Started up the system updater, clicked yes to a couple of dialogs, went to sleep, and by the next morning (or maybe it was afternoon X-D) I had a fully functional Feisty Fawn setup, and everything I had previously configured on 6.10 (namely the webserver bits) were still working perfectly. I’m very impressed. Oh, and 7.04 comes with a Sudoku game. Doesn’t help me try to forget… /sigh.

On to other things. What will probably be the biggest WoW content patch ever, 2.1.0, is near, and the it’s shaping up to be almost everything I’d want it to be (fix the invisible fel cannons that keep killing me too, thanks). So looking forward to that and some dead SSC bosses.

Spider-Man 3 comes out this weekend. Will have to see it. Early returns on impressions aren’t favorable, but this is now one of those movie franchises where you’d see it just to see how it turns out, regardless of what people say about it (much like the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Read The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy for the… I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read this. But damn it, I still enjoy it as much as ever, and I’m saddened whenever I remember that Douglas Adam’s genius sense of quirky humor will never grace us again.

And finally… what a choke job by both the Mavs and Heat. Not gonna get into it much more, but damn.
