Talker Tuesday

* Its "Talker Tuesday" on KFAN so I'll make it that on my blog for today.

* My 3 1/2 day weekend was pretty good. Watched a bunch of movies. Mandy's birthday went well and was fun even though I was kinda sick. I also spent a lot of my gift cards on clothes and shoes.

* Another thing I did over the weekend was beat Half-Life 2 on Xbox. I beat it on normal in all it took about 13 hours. I may try to be it on hard but I think I'll die a lot more and it could take close to 20 hours. I play mostly FPS games so I compare them often. Half-Life 2 is the best FPS game that I've played since Halo and Halo 2. Lots of cool weapons and maps. Some good gore too. Can't go wrong buying this one. Another good Xbox game I have played recently is Starwars Battlefronts. Its fun cause there is non stop action. I'm hoping to try the sequel soon. Also, still no Xbox 360s at Best Buy. Would be nice to get one before my surgery. I just want to be able to go to Best Buy and pick-one up instead of having to hope they got some in recently.

* 2 weeks from today is my ACL reconstruction surgery on my right knee. Actually, its 10:45am right now so exactly two weeks from now I should be out of surgery and in recovery one.

* Today I have an MRI on my left knee. Basically I'm looking to start 2006 by getting my knees fixed up and hopefully back to normal.

* Last week since work was slow I played some games on Miniclips. I challenged both AJ and DK to play the disc golf one. DK had the best score of 52 but I finally beat that last Friday by shooting a 51. Try and beat it if you're bored. http://www.miniclip.com/discgolf.htm

* Mike Tice is gone. I didn't like or dislike Tice. It just seems weird that he was let go with a winning record this year. But, I guess that's what we do to our coaches in Minnesota. Gardy's lucky he didn't get fired for going 83-79. Maybe Jaques Lemaire is next? Most likely since the Wild are above .500 right now.

* Speaking of coaches. I feel the same way about Dwyane Casey as I did about Tice. Sometimes I feel like he makes some mistakes but does well to fix them. It just might cost the Wolves a few wins which sucks. At 14-14 right now they'll be lucky to end this week above .500. Playing Dallas twice and San Antonio. Someone besides Wally and KG need to step up. Otherwise those two should go for 30+ each every game.

* Well, that's about it for my Talker Tuesday. At least I killed about 30 minutes at work, nice.
