Is it Weird that I Just Made this My Homepage?

As most of you know, I’m pretty much obsessed with the Royal Wedding. And while that may be a little bit bizarre, it is not without some encouragement from the Royal Family themselves, for today they launched a website dedicated solely to the impending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. It’s kind of like those wedding websites your friends make that give you a list of the wedding party and where the couple is registered, except better.

This is my Christmas. My Fourth of July. This is what New Year’s Eve would be like if it lasted a whole month. Can. Not. Wait.

There are still a few more games left before the conference tournaments start. There are even seven Top 25 teams playing tonight. But if the regular season was any indication of what the National Tournament has in store for us, I fully expect some major upsets. It could even be a year in which no number one seeds make it to the Final Four.
