just started watching The Venture Brothers, Season 1...genius writing, a must-see for cartoon enthusiasts

loved that movie, especially for Tony Shaloub and Alan Rickman

on the other side of the coin, Im still waiting for the effin' Yankees to get their bad breaks and share of dysfunction. every year, they remain competitive because of has-been reclamation projects...

I have no love for the Mets whatsoever, but--CLOSE YOUR EYES, dwb--they do seem to be the team in most need of a break. since their late 90s, early 00s Subway Series teams (memory serving, the ones...

just started Game of Thrones, instantly became one of my favorite series. so many parts in Season 1, especially with Khal Drogo, are worthy of remembrance, where you cant help but nod your head,...

thanks. Date is October 30th, which had its share of drama of picking as Chinese tradition demands carefully computing an auspicious day. No clue how it works, I just sat back with my beer and...

catching up on some movies...

Ted - almost crapped my pants watching this. yeah, McFarlane uses some old jokes from his animated series, but still delivers

Pirates: On Stranger Tides -...

makes two of us. ive been having a hell of a time finding these albums, though

im trying to stay active in these forums, but a21's points are pretty accurate. job promotion and wedding planning has taken a lot of time and energy for me, but Ill do my best

in other news,...

it seems to the will of the baseball gods that whenever you load up during the offseason, your team will just suck. this years Jays. the Red Sox after the Adrian Gonzalez trade and CC signing. ...

NFC West loaded up, particularly Rams and Niners. thats gonna be a fun division to watch.

liked the Giants draft, though the Nassib pick was a bit unorthodox, if not unusual. seems like theyre...

NFL Draft? anyone???

every team in the AL East will complete, but with regards to the Jays I wasn't so convinced about their pitching as others. Particularly Buehrle and Josh Johnson.

seems Im gonna be way off on some of my preseason awards predictions. reports are that Kemp's mechanics are all screwed up now, and Dylan Bundy is having "elbow problems".

the new GY!BE overall wasn't that impressive, but I still maintain that that opening track is one of the best they've recorded

its time for Andy Pettite to crawl into a hole and stay there

things are ok over here too. found my Chinese wife (wedding in October). bird flu. earthquakes. yeah, overall have a really positive outlook on things in general.

yeah, his appeal dropped big time after he went over to ABC with Michaels. still, Madden at his worst still beats ****ing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman

good day at the Fens. tribute to the Marathon was well done, Diamond was a nice surprise, and of course a win to punctuate the day.

gotta love Ortiz's profanity too

just read that Pat Summeral passed. personally, nothing was better than listening to Pat and John on Sunday afternoons, as annoying as Madden could be sometimes.
