I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Catholics beat Methodists

The Notre Dame men were eliminated by Washington State yesterday, but the Notre Dame women are still alive, headed for a Tuesday second-round matchup with Oklahoma after beating #12-seed Southern Methodist this afternoon. Go Irish!!

In my women's pool, there's a five-way tie for the lead among Kay Torg, Ken Stern, Tom Caputi, Chuck Wessell and F.X. McGahee -- and, in a tournament that has seen only two upsets in 24 games, those co-eaders are also tied with the "all favorites bracket." Complete standings here and after the jump.

Also of notre for ND fans: ND hockey was selected as a 4 seed in the NCAA Hockey tournament and will be playing #1 seed New Hampshire in Denver. It'll be tough to make the Frozen Four, likely having to win against UNH and then probably Colorado College in Denver, but the hockey team has had another good season.

Catholics Use Hardwood, Beat Methodists

Go Cyclones! Go Big 12!

My neighborhood has one of the coolest street names I've seen in a while.

It is completely possible to live on Hardwood Court where I live.
