Kwanzaa, Kingdom Hearts, and Football
Dec. 26th, 2005 11:44 pmHappy Kwanzaa, December 26, 2005 - January 1, 2006!
Kwanzaa is a rather young celebration, established in 1966 by African American Ron Karenga. More information on Kwanzaa here, or visit the official Kwanzaa Web site.
Kingdom Hearts
I spent most of the day playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The game's a year old; it was made in anticipation of the release of Kingdom Hearts 2 on PlayStation2 this winter. But the release date of Kingdom Hearts 2 kept getting delayed (latest: April 2006), so I have time to catch up on Chain of Memories before Boy Cousin gets the sequel in the spring.
Needless to say, I didn't do anything productive whatsoever. *g*
Goodbye, Monday Night Football!
Well, not the game itself. Goodbye to Monday Night Football's 36-year broadcast on ABC. Starting next year, ESPN will take over broadcasting Monday night football games. This is like the end of an American era. I'm not much of an American football fan, but I remembered knowing about Monday Night Football long before I became entirely fluent in English when I first moved to America. Football is an American icon. But no longer on ABC.
Short and sweet from ABC News: ABC Bids Farewell to Monday Night Football
And the game that the final broadcast covered: Patriots Surge to 28-7 Lead Over Jets. That's the third-quarter score. I'm pretty sure Patriots has snatched the victory.
