End of the year---time to reflect?

Honestly didn't think I'd forget my password... again. Clearly my memory is not what it once was. Kicking myself for forgetting it during one of the biggest times of the year for me (for entertainment and time to spend writing about it, as I had some time off from both work and school). I've seen, read and listened to much since my last post, but I won't have time to catch up on the reviews until... well, I really have no idea when. But I did want to catch up on a few things before we hit 2012 (because once we start the new year I will probably follow my personal annual tradition of disregarding basically anything and everything I can from the previous year-particularly things of this nature that really don't matter at all).

Quick side note---the NBA---I missed you, Beautiful, and I am glad you are back. Seeing my team play with a vengeance has been rather enjoyable. It got me to wondering why the season is so long in the first place... maybe a shorter season would do us good....? Don't know and don't care, at the moment. I am just GLAD GLAD GLAD to have it back!

Another note--I am considering making a new year's resolution that has to do with me eliminating my disgusting need for a list to accompany every mundane aspect of my life. I need to not need a list-but I feel like this will never happen, so who cares... here are my lists for the year, posted in several entries in an effort to avoid one large blurb that I won't want to proofread all at once!

Also- what does NBA stand for, anyway?

(I know it isn't a book, movie or musical item, but sports are entertainment so that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

I think it was Jay Leno that made the joke... NBA now stands for "No Basketball Anymore". What's the deal?! Can't believe there won't be any basketball this season... seriously never thought it would come down to this. I guess there's still college, though (meh...). I haven't followed the issue (again, really didn't think they'd throw out a whole season!), and I don't know who's to blame, but this is pretty disappointing. Sports are like the seasons-I need to look forward to them! Geez guys-pull it together before next season... PLEASE.
