Last night watched about 25 minutes sporadically of Cold Mountain, kept falling asleep, OH MY GAWD that movies is overrated & boring. Girlfriend loved it thought.
Tonight going to watch Scott Kashmire (sp?) make his debut on Tampa Bay & see what yet another horrific decisiong the Mets upper management made.
Rest of the week plan on finishing up Fascape: Season 2 on DVD to start my Season 3 Box Set.

putting in almost 70 hour weeks leaves little time for playing online....but hey...it's our busy season so a man has to do what a man has to do.
tonight I'll break into The Night Gallery and enjoy a few episodes....then maybe Purple Rain.
