NCAA Expands Men’s Basketball Tournament…Kind of

I just got an alert from the Washington Post on my phone and it read “NCAA to Expand Basketball Tournament.” I said “ugh” loudly in disgust and then realized there were people around me who weren’t getting this alert (if they had, I’m sure they would have understood).

In my mind all I could think was how terrible having a 96-team tournament – the number that’s been tossed around for the past few months – would be. My favorite time of year ruined by corporate greed. But then I actually opened the e-mail and saw that the NCAA would only be adding three teams – from 65 to 68. What?! That doesn’t even make any sense. And, I have yet to read an article from a major news outlet that explains this move.

Rough Cut: Sam and Patrick’s Wedding Video

So, it’s been almost a month since the Holden couple was married, and I’m sure they’d like to see some video by now. This is a rough cut of their lovely day, and I’m excited to share it (really, I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning – it’s a long story – and don’t have anything else to focus on since my one source of communication has been taken away from me).

The video is approx. 30 minutes long, so if you don’t have time to watch the entire thing, here’s a breakdown of the video order:

I know, I know. I missed Monday’s Dancing with the Stars…AGAIN! But who are we kidding? I bet none of you watched it in anticipation of me missing it. Am I right?

This week’s theme is movie songs, which I think is AWESOME. My favorite song from a movie? “If You Leave,” from Pretty in Pink. Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. So I hear Pamela Anderson is the spitting image of Dolly Parton. Let’s get going!

Niecy Nash, Jive: La Bamba! That movie made me cry so hard. I think I was about three when I first saw it, so I really had no idea what was going on, but I knew that a plane crashed and Lou Diamond Phillips was no more. I should probably watch that again sometime. This is a fast song, and a fast dance. They’re gonna have to really move! Hmmm, it’s a Jive with a little Latin flavor! It looks more like a Cha-cha to me. With kicks. Was it just me, or was that dance really long?
