I am the sound of silence...

In honor of the Kings curret 8-game winning streak. This pic is from a few years ago, when I went to the Kings vs Quacks game w/ Chris, Joes, and Ry. It was awesome...Kings won! ha ha ha.

Band of Brothers
GF and I just finished this HBO mini-series on DVD recently. I had watched 1 or 2 eps back at the Diche household and had been meaning to get back into it, but time did it's thing and this mini-task was put on the back-burner. Not until I got the DVD set from the Diches as a Christmas gift! Awwwwwesome! So took a little over 2 months, but we finally finished it(it's only 10 eps long, but for those that know about the gf's work sched, it makes it difficult to watch it every night) and cannot stop singing its praises. Awesome awesome movie, I was very into it from start to finish, and almost moved to tears on several occasions. I think it's a great historical acct mixed with movie magic to just drive more emotion into the piece as a whole. A great way to teach us about the accts of the men of E-company and the 501st. Now I can't wait for "The Pacific."

Of blaming it on the rain...what was forecasted
It's a little funny how ppl get so annoyed when rain is forecasted, but doesn't come. Forecasts aren't locks, theyr'e just forecasts...possibilities. So many things can change and prevent a forecasted storm; wind, pressure systems moving in and out, course change, etc. The weatherman/woman gets the brunt of our frustrations when said rain, or weather pattern doesn't occur as expected. But why the frustration when we can easily find out for ourselves? Have we become so lazy that we need to be force-fed every bit of news and information for our daily lives? Just go on any website and look at the weather and moisture patterns as they move. If there is a giant green thing moving over your area...it's gonna rain, most definitely, and most definitely. If it's sparce and moving away, then probably not. Come on folks...let's do a little research on our own here...

Can't really think too straight today - not focusing...gotta go to Holy Cross...
