Whenever I come home from work these days, I get this overwhelming feeling of wanting to go straight to bed and sleep like a log. Lately though, I couldn’t resist watching old and new episodes of several TV series that are available online. If you haven’t heard of such sites that post links to a multitude of TV shows and movies online, drop me a message and I’ll point you to the right direction (he-heh!).

Anyway, here’s another previously unseen clip from The X-Files, with a short commentary by Chris Carter. Just another proof that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are the biggest Mulder-Scully shipper of all.

An officemate asked me today about shopping online and in the process I learned about something important – not particularly to me but to parents of little babies. Apparently, there’s a baby bottle ban going on in some parts of America, Canada,and other countries. This is because of the ongoing debate about the risk of bisphenol A (BPA) – a chemical used in the manufacturing of baby bottles and baby formula containers. According to reports, “animal studies have linked BPA with breast, prostate and reproductive system abnormalities and some cancers, but experts disagree on whether it poses health risks for humans.” [AP].

I’m sure a lot of parents would want to be on the safe side and buy BPA-free baby bottles. I heard that those are quite expensive, though. If you can afford it, it could be a good gift these coming holidays for your mommy friends, as my officemate was planning. I’m actually thinking along the lines of musical toys or mobiles because I’ve got a list of friends who recently gave birth.

I didn’t know that sports betting is so prevalent until I’ve heard about the case of the Russian tennis player Nikolay Davydenko – he became, what they say, tennis’ fall guy when organizers became ”curious” about matches that appeared to have betting patterns. In other words, it seemed suspicious that someone of Davydenko’s caliber (he’s a consistent top 10 player) can lose to someone unranked so early in a tournament and then win the next tournament he enters. Could it be that he’s rigging his own results? He has since been cleared from all charges.

Sports handicapping is the process of predicting the result of a competition, and in the world of sports, tennis is possibly among the least profitable in terms of winnings. But it is a reality; I remember the 2004 movie Wimbledon where James McAvoy (the brother of Paul Bettany’s character) always bets against his brother during tournaments. Well, things like that happen in real life and it may be a source of entertainment for spectators but the athletes should not be a part of it. Imagine if Federer purposely lost that epic Wimbledon final because his girlfriend took a big bet in favor of Nadal? You get the picture.
