Mizzou made the Elite 8 this year… quite a run for our team!  My strategy of not watching the games worked out well… but I did miss one of the best Mizzou games in years by doing so.  It was a good sacrifice though.  They lost their chance at reaching the Final Four on Saturday by losing to Connecticut.

The teams left in the tournament are:  North Carolina (my favorite team), Connecticut, Villanova, and Michigan State.  North Carolina plays Villanova and Michigan State plays Connecticut.  I figure a Connecticut versus North Carolina final would be pretty exciting.  I’m not a big fan of Michigan State or Villanova.

We rented a couple of movies over the weekend:  Changeling and Australia.  I watched Changeling and I have to tell you, I was surprised by how good the movie is.  But, it had a feather in its hat… Clint Eastwood directed it.  So, even though it had Angelina Jolie in it, it was still a very good movie and she acted well.  I don’t understand why she devalues herself by doing such nonsense movies if she can actually act.  Oh well, money rules.  I didn’t watch Australia.

As the image suggests, Metallica is featured in their very own Guitar Hero video game.  I’ve never played Guitar Hero, but I had to support my favorite band.  I sold some stuff on Ebay to come up with some extra money and we plan on eating pretty skimpy this week so I was able to get the game.  It’s really fun!  I’ve officially become a Guitar Hero fan…  but without Metallica, I would have never known.
