It's the mooost wonderful time of the year. Super Bowl, that is. I'm a little glad my team isn't in the playoffs this year, so I don't have to get emotionally invested—especially in last-minute, mind-boggling, game-losing plays (Why, Seahawks, why?!).

Every Sunday, I want to try and do a quick summary of the biggest happenings of the week. It'll be a mixed bag: perhaps good events that occurred, personal anecdotes, breaking world news, or just interesting tidbits of note I came across. Sundays are my favourite day, and not just because there's football. It's the day I wrap up the past week and recollect myself for the week ahead. It's my laziest day, yet the one that also holds the most potential for setting the tone going forward. Usually I'm busy all through t[...]
