Kitten???

Rockets won again! Without Yao the prospect of winning dropped dramatically, but Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier were having none of that. Yes, I did just say Shane Battier. He who averaged 7.1 ppg this year went off for 23. Heck, he was average 6 ppg during this series until last nights game. My cousin Bryan's man Kobe was looking like junk. He never got in a rhythm and never could pull the Lakers out of their funk. Shutting down Kobe is always job number 1 and the Rockets certainly delivered. He scored only 15 points, but more telling is the fact that he did not shoot a single free throw. You can't win like that Kobe!

I rediscovered my love of COD 4, and my cousin Brett is partially to blame what with his paper writing and all. I took it upon myself to play it again; and by that I mean just the prologue and epilogue. The epilogue is quite possibly the most addicting single player shooter mini game type thing I've ever done. Of course, you have to do it on veteran or you don't get the full effect. Given one minute to storm an airplane and rescue the hostage before it blows up seems nearly impossible; add on the fact that the enemy shoots well and you die quickly and it is impossible. I think out of 100+ times I've played it I've made it to the end 5 times and shot the guy properly 3. Pretty crappy success rate.

My exams culminate tomorrow with BioChemistry and then I get to enjoy the summer. And by that I mean work more than 40 hours a week. But the good news is I won't be working nights, which means xbox party times...as long as I can keep my eyes open. Don't quote me on that last link...unless you enjoy it, then I take full credit.

What's up with that Kitten title Matthew? Well I'll tell you. My roommate Brian found a 2-3 week old kitten in the bushes yesterday and we've semi-adopted it. We've got it situated in this nice little shoe box with a heating pad on the bottom and a rice sock buddy to keep her warm. We have kitten formula and a bottle, but I have to say, feeding kittens is a very difficult task. Her eyes aren't quite open yet and her ears look funny. My girlfriend Molly thinks the ears are too funny for words. Sample conversation:

Molly: Her ears are so tiny is something wrong with them?
Matthew: I don't know maybe she's partially retarded
Molly: Maybe that's why her mom left her
Matthew: Don't say that in front of her!
Molly: She can't hear me! Hahahahahhaha

What a great environment to grow up in huh? Nah, we've been good to her. She is highly vocal... Sounds like a broken machine from the 80's actually. She's growing comfortable with us though, at first she didn't like being picked up and just whined and whined. Now that we have been feeding her she accepts us and wants to cuddle with us.

I don't know what we're going to do with her, but it's fun having a little baby kitten to take care of. Not gonna name her yet!

Astros notes

The Astros had a come from behind victory on Saturday and Roy Oswalt got his first win Sunday. That's a winning streak boys. Berkman's been out with a sore wrist, but I'm not that concerned. I kind of feel like he needed a break anyways.

Fantasy corner

I got dominated in the ESPN league again. I don't really know what I can even say about that league anymore. I currently have 4 people on the DL, but only 2 of them will actually be helpful when they return. Other than that I have to hope that having A-Rod back will spur him and Teixeira to greater heights.

I had just my second overall loss of the year in my Yahoo league, going down 4-7. The crappy part is that of the categories I lost only 2 were substantial losses. So I guess what I'm saying is if Manny hadn't been suspended then I would have won this week. A womens fertility drug??? REALLY?!!!!
