Collected Thoughts

I watched the Stargates today. I kinda fast forwarded through some parts, but I actually ended up seeing parts of SG1 twice last night.

I didn't watch the tape of the Fin/USA game.

The Czech/Canada game went into overtime, which I didn't see because football came on. But I'll be taping the Canada/Fin Final because I have class on Tuesday. Well, unless Ivan hits ahead of schedule.

Last night was FSU v Miami. It was also the first time I got to see the new OT rules for college football. FSU lost. And the best player for Miami? Rix. (He's the quarterback for FSU). He continually makes boneheaded stupid plays that a he shouldn't be making as a sophmore much less as a fifth year senior. He won't throw the ball away when he's in trouble. Or, at least, he won't throw it away reasonably. TWO interceptions where when he threw the ball when he shouldn't. And he tried to do a lateral pass while he was being tackled. Of course it was stripped and Miami recovered. And it doesn't matter how bad of a quarterback he is, he'll be the starter because Bowden doesn't change his mind about this.

Next year we get a new quarterback. Next year. The team would be better as a whole if the quarterback was better!!! It's so frustrating.

And I watched the first two parts of Band of Brothers. I'd actually seen it on History Channel and decided not to watch becuase I didn't konw if the episode I was watching was the first or not. Turned out it was. I fastforwarded through this a lot and I probably shouldn't have but David Schwimmer's character was such a fucking ass I couldn't stand him. I kept hoping he'd die. I really hope he wasn't based on a real person.

I liked a lot of the actors. The guy from Boomtown who's now on Medical Investigations is in it (I'm too lazy to look up his name). I watched part of Medical Investigations or whatever it's called and... Boomtown got cancelled and THAT is made! There is no justice. I hated what I saw, it was predictable and the dialouge was stupid. His talents are wasted.

I need to watch the SGs again before I have a comment. I realized that I don't know the show as well as I should because I've either missed parts or seen it all out of order. So I'm reorg-ing my Netflix queue again.

Tomorrow I have The Thin Man to watch. Then they all go back.

I barely got online this weekend. It was kind of nice, except for the part where I didn't do things I really needed to today. I really shoulda worked on figuring out a topic for my research paper. Plus once again I realized I never emailed my instructor...

During part of the day I was wondering about Ivan and when that will end up here. Looks like maybe Wednesday...obviously with Ivan there are still a lot of questions: where will it land? How strong will it be?

If it has to hit Florida, especially as a strong hurricane, I hope it hits up here. Not that I want to deal with a hurricane, but I don't want the pennisula to have to deal with more damage.

I spent most of the day watching Band of Brothers on History channel. I think I ended up watching all of them. Now I really can't wait to get them from Netflix. I kept flipping channels or doing other things so I missed chunks of the show. And it was edited for the History Channel, some of the dialouge was very obviously redubbed to be suitable. I was checking IMDB becuase I really wanted to get Neal McDonough's name instead of calling him the guy from Boomtown. Actually another guy was in Boomtown too...and I discovered that Kyle for BtVS episode "The Pack" was in it... I'd already put disc one and the Sports Night disc I've decided not to watch in an envelope to send back but I opened it to get Disc 1. I'm watching that over, and as much as I hate Sobel, now that I know what happens I can actually watch it.
