Overblessified Thursday: The Hobbit at Midnight

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Tonight at midnight, I will have on big, goofy black glass propped over my new purple frames watching The Hobbit (in 3-D) with my law-school-studied-out husband. It's his halfway-through-finals break before he starts hardcore studying again. . . .

Fantasy Basketball: Week 6

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

My team did pretty well last week (winner against Dillon), and I have enjoyed watching the humor of other fantasy players. Janel has the best. Blake Griffin-as-a-little-kid commercials are great. Here's another! If you know any other funny NBA videos, please leave them in the comments.

Fantasy Basketball: Week 5

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

The Lakers and I have one thing in common: We're banking on Steve Nash.

I show weakness in the guard position, and I need him back. But the latest report said he still can't run. When he returns, the experts have good things to say though. Let's hope they are right.
