What a beautiful day today...sunny, 75, perfect! What's the best thing to do on said day? Watch baseball! Now that basketball season is officially over (well, for all the teams I care about anyway) it's time for the great American pastime! I watched a college ball game where I work after classes were over. A 4-0 win, which is also good.
Let it also be known that despite my continual references to sports in my journal entries, I'm not a die-hard sports fan; but it is a nice form of recreation and entertainment, and few things are better than watching baseball on a perfect spring day. Too bad you can't buy beer at college games.

About Deadwood...one of my favorite shows last season. But this season is bugging me. It's become Kevin Smith-ish verbose. The dialogue is out of place--way too sophisticated for the show's setting. I'm assuming this is done on purpose: irony, perhaps, in giving scalawags and whores Shakespearian "lingo" between four-letter expletives. But it bothers me. It doesn't sound right, and it doesn't feel right. I'm just waiting for E.B. so say "forsooth" or "zounds" any episode now!

I've finally had the opportunity to go through enough of the SG sets to feel pretty satisfied with the five I've chosen as my "favorites." I've been trying to analyze if there is any pattern to them, but I haven't to this point. I wonder what Freud would say....

Add a new movie to my favorites list: Big Fish. Saw it for the first time tonight. Amazing. Burton is very hit or miss for me, but here he shows his quality. Thanks, Tim!

Do you have many Brazilian and Russian Soccer team jerseys and if you do which ones
Tee hee, I went to the same uni as India. At completely different times. And I've yet to Big Fish, although it is on my list...
