Sometimes you oversleep and you wake up and realize that you have a post to put up.

See, I got a new pillow-top mattress lately. And while the jury is still out on whether it’s good for my back or not, the fact remains that I’ve been sleeping way more soundly for the last week or so. That’s good.

Unfortunately, it also means I’ve blown through my alarm a couple of times. And when you’re the person responsible for putting up essentially every single thing on the site, that’s when mistakes happen.

So instead, here’s a bulleted list of little things that have been on my mind recently:

• We’re always interested in more listener participation through the usual channels (mail@atthebuzzershow.com, posts on our Facebook page, etc.). We appreciate the folks who have chimed in already, and anyone who even takes the time to listen. That said, I’d like to get some more feedback to know what is working and what isn’t. Look for a post that’s going to take a focus group approach in the next couple of weeks.
• This week’s episode has already been recorded (and it’s a good one), but next week will be a Valentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day special. Considering the relationship status of the cast right now, expect a lot of bitterness and belittling each other, which usually means a better show.
• Watching the Suns lose by 40 last week was embarrassing. It’s uncanny how far the team has fallen since making a Western Conference Finals appearance two years ago. Shaun’s post about dumbass fans and their lack of loyalty with Steve Nash was spot on, but there’s a bigger elephant in the room: Our owner has run this ship into the ground. The Suns may not be good for quite some time.
• The Super Bowl is this weekend. OoooooOOOOOOOooooooooo–okay, I don’t care. I haven’t watched for the past two years and I haven’t really felt like I’ve been missing out. For a guy who barely cares about football, an overblown spectacle with overrated commercials and an awful halftime show just isn’t all that interesting.
• Two years ago, Flagstaff got the second most snow of any city in the country. This year, after an abrupt storm in November, we’ve had virtually nothing. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not complaining in the slightest about temperatures hovering around 50 instead of 30. But I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. In 2010, that shoe was a laced-up boot of 50 inches of snow in one week after a somewhat mild start. Let’s not do that again.
• Always remember that your true friends will help get you through anything. You know who those people are in your life. Sometimes, when the going gets tough, there’s a line drawn in the sand that shows you just how important some folks are. This has been your Random Life Lesson of the Week.
