Friday night 2

-I'm still working my way through the Third season of the West Wing. I'm up to the 15th Episode (including Isaac and Ishmail). I hate to meantion it again, but this show is great. Funny and Smart. The new season is showing promise, with CJ replacing Leo as the Chief of Staff. When everyone including the president resigned on CJ's first day, I could almost feel her pain, then laughed with the rest of them.

-One of the best things that I've downloaded lately was the entire Top 100 of 2002 from Casey Kasem. I'm slowly working my way through it, and it's nice to hear the legend again. (It's also kind of cool hearing him say "Here's Murder Inc")

-Worked my way through Smackdown Vs Raw and I am very disappointed. Last year's Smackdown game (Here Comes the Pain) is so much better it's almost scary. The voiceovers sound like they were done in a bathroom. I beat the season in about 6 hours of playing time. The only thing that you do in the season mode is fighting for Diva's. Not worth a buy.

-Now downloading: The Rise and Fall of ECW. No matter what happens I'll be buying it, but I can't wait to see it

It's a sunday

-It was a fun night last night as I went to the Timberwolves game followed by a night of Trivia at Carrie's. The game was good with Miramichi winning 4-1. Afterwords, played a game of Scene it and then DVD trivia, which I won both. (was there ever any doubt :) ).

-Picked up a couple of books yesterday, Adam Copeland on Edge and To Be The Man: Ric Flair. I'm about 100 pages into the Flair book and it's very interesting. I've heard the Edge book is good, but I'll start it in a couple of days.

-I'm working my way through Def Jam: Fight for NY at about 70% of the storyline. I'm going to try to finish it before Smackdown Vs Raw arrives (Hopefully on monday)

-G4/Tech Tv has done it again by "Revamping" The Screen Savers, firing most of the staff with the exception of Kevin Rose and Sarah Lane. The show is going into repeats untill after the american thanksgiving then will return. I imagine when it does comeback it will have more of a gaming edge. "Unscrewed with Martin Sargent" has been totally cancelled, leaving X-play as the last remaining show from TechTV, leaving a lot of crappy gaming shows (and a good canadian girl, Amanda Mackay). I can be very honest that I very rarely turn on the channel anymore, as even the returning Call for Help has fallen off.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

-Check out Willie's Page link for one of the best mini-rants I've ever read. As the words continues to wait for the return of the full fleged Pissing Vinegar.

-For those of you that don't speak Frenchy (otherwise known as Leblanc) from the tag board: You Miramichi people are very cool, by the way is that a quarter I see on the bar?

-Actual call that an agent got yesterday:

Agent: Now read me off that phone number please?
Caller: I can't
Agent: Why not?
Caller: The numbers are in French

Same agent, different call:

(overheard) Sir, It's that thing with all the letters and numbers on your desk (talking about a keyboard)

-You would be surprised by the number of people that tell me that they "Are not very computer-illiterate"

-So a couple of months ago, I ordered Smackdown Vs Raw from Amazon.ca. I then cancelled it because Futureshop was supposed to send it to me quicker. No go, still taking orders (Although it's in the stores) So I've gone back to amazon who is SUPPOSED to have it here by next wednesday or Friday (Holiday). Some of the reports I've read have some disappointed people, but these people seem to always be expecting the world then bitch when it does not come. I'll make up my own mind, if the game ever gets here.

-I've said it before but I'll do it again. The best show on television is The West Wing. The current season so far shows excellent writing that makes anything else on network television look like a 3rd graders language Arts homework. I've also got the 3rd Season on DVD and am slowly working my way through. We should make Martin Sheen the real president (As long as he keeps the same writers)

-Poker update: I've won two straight Hold em Tournaments, amounting to about 5500 in play credits. I'd still have most of them if I hadn't accidentally registered for a Omaha Hi/Lo table. WOW, what a confusing game.

Random Update #2

-America deserves everything it gets. That's all I'm going to say

-I really like this song

-Playing poker at a different place these days. Pokerstars.net is a download that allows you to play for free against real people. I've got nto a few turnaments and finished in the money once. It's the same place that the last 2 World Series of Poker Champions play online.

-Went to a halloween party at Gully's last saturday night. Dressed in my Hip Hop best. If you want to see pics you can go here, although I guess my "Da da da da" picture didn't make it.

-not really anything going on right now..other then the fact I REALLY want a Pepsi Ipod
