I hath returned!

Bucs Win! As a Tampa resident (technically) it's pretty cool that they won. Apparently Tampa's going crazy, as they well should be, and I almost wish I was there to take part in it. I still wish the Cowboys had gotten to the Super Bowl of course, but I'm happy the Bucs won too.

Gymnastics last Friday night was really cool, they have some really good routines this year on floor. And apparently we're ranked #1 in the nation on bars, which is really cool. And while I'm talking about UF sports, our men's basketball team is awesome this year! #4 in the nation and still climbing! Hopefully it'll be an exciting post-season in the March, which reminds me that I need to start making my bracket.

Swing dancing on Saturday night was great, and it was probably the most fun I had ever had swinging (that sounds so bad doesn't it?). Can't really say why, but I just had a blast. It might have been that it was exactly one year ago that I first started, so it was like an anniversary of sorts :) And it's so much more fun that that bump'n'grind crap that people do now in clubs. I'm seriously thinking about starting to swing to rap next time I go to a club with someone that knows how to swing. I think that'd be pretty cool, as they did play Pink's "Let's Get This Party Started", and needless to say that was an interesting song to swing to.

The MPAA is at it again, once more infringing on fair use rights by b locking the sale of filtering DVD players. How dare the consumer view the DVD they bought the way that they want to! The idea of a player that automagically filters out excessive sex/violence/language is a great one, as too many times otherwise great movies have mature content that doesn't really add to the plot at all, and could have easily been filtered out with no loss to the story or characters. But of course the movie corporations don't like anything that takes control away from them (ie the whole DeCSS fiasco and why I can't view DVD's on Linux legally) and are suing to have this player blocked. Will they ever learn?

And finally some words of wisdom:
There are few things better in this life than dancing closely with a beautiful woman.
