What's with the bizarro Stanley Cup playoffs? It's bad enough Detroit, Colorado, Dallas, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Toronto, San Jose, and others are not a part of it. But to be replaced by the likes of Anaheim, Minnesota, and Ottawa is just disturbing.

The Practice had its finale aired tonite. Definitely season finale, but series finale? We'll find out next week. With Bobby leaving the firm and getting a divorce, it may very well be finished here. Personally, I don't want to see the show go. I like it a lot. But the fact of the matter is, I enjoy watching those repeats in the morning than I do watching the new ones.

Saturday Night Live has definitely lost its way after some strong seasons. While this can be directly attributed to the loss of Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer, one also needs to look at the choice of hosts lately, either one-trick ponies or people who have no business being in comedy bits. This week, Adrien Brody hosts. Why??? Lemme guess, a skit about him kissing Halle Berry. Typical.
Geez, even Weekend Update had some pretty lame jokes, well, lamer than usual.

Worrying about SARS has reached Berkeley on a massive scale. Up to now, the administration has sent out sporadic emails explaining what to do if a SARS case develops on-campus and who's responsible for keeping us safe, etc. But now, they might be overreacting. They've cut off summer admission to people from high-risk countries. Why not let them come? If they show symptoms before they depart, then keep them there. Keep tabs on them here. But don't prevent them from learning.
