My new addiction


Yesterday there was no football, and all was quiet in the dorms for once. So I thought a good way to pass my time was to start watching season three of House. This show has become my new addiction. It makes you think, laugh and you can really get into the story lines. House is a total jerk which makes the show really funny to watch. Hugh Laurie plays Greg House, a vicoden popping, self rightious, jerk who is a brilliant doctor. I need to get season two and four and catch up on season five, but I highly doubt I will be able to this semester, maybe over summer I will be able to do that.

Superbowl bound


Just like that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the superbowl. It was a great game to watch, I lost my voice during it yelling. the biggest play was Troy Polamalu intercepting a pass from flacco for a touchdown to seal the win. Now we play the AZ cardinals, there a nice team but pittsburgh will beat them. I wont predict any score yet but I will say Pittsburgh will get there sixth ring this year. cant wait and now its two long weeks away. what are we gonna do with no football next week?
