I'm headed off to Vancouver to visit the EA Sports complex and play the upcoming EA Sports games. I'm really looking forward to it. I will be embargoed to talk about anything until the 8th, so keep that in mind. Nervous about the flights, as I hate flying.

The Pistons handled the Magic and the upset of all upsets didn't happen, although I was rooting hard for the Hawks to get it done. It was inevitable.

Purchased a new lawn mower and mowed the yard over the weekend. The self propelled operation is much smoother than my last one. Hopefully it lasts longer as well.

What's up with you?

• QOTD: How was your weekend?

QOTD: Good weekend started off with the Cavs closing out the Wiz. I missed the game, as we were at a wine expo. The expo was fun, though. Tasted lots of good wines. Didn't do a whole lot on Saturday other than playing several games of NBA 2k8. Yard work yesterday, coming to the realization that our yard needs a lot of TLC.

Good luck up in Vancouver, enjoy getting to play the games and asking the questions?

QOTD: Weekend was filled with wedding stuff, The Show, GTA IV, and i played Rock Band with the whole family (btw, Rock Band is hilarious when your parents play)

Co-sign. My parents haven't played yet, but we got my in-laws to play it on Christmas morning when I got it. Good times.

QOTD:
My weekend was pretty good. We got nearly our entire to do list done for the house, which included a lot of painting. I still have a bunch to do as well, c'est la vie.

We went out Saturday night to celebrate passing the bar exam. I really don't remember much of it other than this amazing drink they had at the bar we went to.

QOTD: This weekend was probably the lamest one I've had in awhile. I overslept and missed my Biology Lab on Friday, I went to work and then came home and went straight to soccer where we had a doubleheader. We lost both games to start the season (we lost 2 games total last season..), I actually played well and I felt it was my best two games since my surgery so hopefully I can keep playing better. I went to work on Saturday and then the rest of the weekend I played GTA.
