Finaly some sense

Finally, logic has prevailed. Felix Hernández won the 2010 American League Cy Young Award as he finished the season 13–12 with a 2.27 ERA and 232 K's. Anyone with the slightest baseball sense would recognize that King Felix won because of the 2.27 ERA, and NOT the "dismal" 13 wins.

Hopefully, this is a sign for things to come. Sabermetics finally prevails, and I hope it is here to stay. Then again, without journalists making stupid comments and managers making stupid trades based on the W-L "stat", it will certainly be less entertaining. Thank goodness we have Theo.

LOL Cleveland!

You can dooo eeet!

After years of "doing it wrong", I've finally trained myself to naturally type the "y" key with my right index finger (I used to use my left). I just realized this today as I had to look up which is the proper finger to type the "y" key. I had been correcting myself for so long that it became natural, and I forgot that I was doing it right all along. Funny how the brain works.

This "achievement" may seem insignificant. For me, it is solid proof that I am able to shed bad habits that have been with me for life. All it takes is willpower and a little practice. On the downside, I'm feeling what might be a little CTS in my right index finger. Maybe I should have stuck with the left index afterall.

P.S. If anyone needs help with typing or typing properly, I recommend the awesome Typing of the Dead.

Oscarvations 2010 Edition

The dynamic duo experiment worked. A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was no better or worse than in years past. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin are generally great with comedy. The lowlight was the opening monologue. Including Neil Patrick Harris was fun. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him host one of these years.

My faith in the world (at least the film industry) is restored. A lot of awesome and deserving movies got recognition this year. The Hurt Locker wins best picture. The best film won, and not the one that made the most money. Crazy Avatar nerds everywhere are now blogging/tweeting/buzzing with vitriol.

Katherine Bigelow wins best director for Hurt Locker. Bigelow is James Cameron's ex-wife. She is really hot for a 59 year old woman. Her win was probably the big wow moment of this year's show.
