A recap of the events that occured this week:
1. Big stock market hiccup towards the end of the week, fueled by President Obama's speech about regulating banks more tightly. Jim Cramer criticizes move as "possible catalyst to the repeat of the 2008 financial crisis." Not so fast.
2. Colts, Saints move on to Super Bowl 44: one pretty good game, one game for the ages. The Vikes-Saints game was a heavyweight bout from start to finish, featuring big hits, key turnovers, multiple tied scores, 12 men in the huddle, favre's last pass this season being an interception, mutliple 4th-and-inches reviews, Overtime, and walk-off, heartbreak, we're-going-to-the-Super-Bowl-for-the-first-time-ever FG. Instant ESPN Classic material.
O, yea, btw, I was the 12th man in the Vikings' huddle.
3. The return of 24 with 4 episodes in 24 hours: so far, so good, we're following the movements of 2 different presidents, Jack's decision to stick around and the return of.......Renee Walker, baby. O yea.
4. Gambling.......is bad for you. Went to Vegas for the weekend despite New Year's Resolutions, and it was an expensive trip. Let's just say this: I had a number set as my limit, and I reached that number. 'Nuff said.
5. Anyone living in Hollywood ever hit up the Griddle? Really cool place, excellent food, heavenly pancakes/waffles. O boy.
6. Lebron blocks Durant's last-second shot in close Cleveland win over the Thunder. Oklahoma City's an up-and-coming team reminiscent of the New Orleans Hornets' arrival a few years ago, but still not ready to beat a premier Beast of the East.
7. Avatar still running strong- have I said this before? It's more pervasive than Titanic, more innovative than Crash, and gonna make Fox (my former employer) a LOT of cash.
8. Getting into the Aussie Open. Predictions: Nadal, Henin take it, one really classic match in store for one of them.
9. John McCain says, "Campaign Finance Reform is Dead." after recent Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to give as much as they want to political candidates. Say it ain't so, John!
10. Jersey Shore wraps up with its season finale and reunion show. Biggest shocking moment: the 2 stars of the show come full circle when Snookie and the Situation make out in the hot tub. A very Titanic-like, serendipitous-in-that-they-both-became-instant-household-names kind of thing. One last note about Snookie: A part of me (not the wow-look-at-her-poof-hair-part) admires Snookie for being able to endure getting laughed at, not getting dates, and rejection by males but still putting herself out there, still going after it, still partying and acting like herself. Being able to laugh at yourself/letting loose and being yourself is a very valuable quality to have. Cheers, Snicks.
