I've got a ton of stuff to cover, but I'm watching the kids. So you're all getting the Cliff Notes version here.
1) France today suffered their first loss in the FIBA championships. I say 'suffer' because I'm suffering for Batum. He had a team high 13 points - but my guy can't do it all by himself everyday. Pretty much Lithuania shot 46% while France shot 34%. It's hard to dig yourself out of that hole.
2) I'm officially on "Dexter" overload. Seriously. A buddy of mine recommended the show to me. I looked it up on Netflix and streamed the first episode on Netflix Wii. HOLY GAME-CHANGER BATMAN! I just watched the first two seasons in five days. That's a lot of Dexter. And now I have to wait for the DVD's to come in the mail so that I can watch the third season. I'm actually debating purchasing the Showtime package on my cable to watch the new episodes when they come out.
3) I'm over the Everton / Aston Villa fiasco. I'm now setting my sights on the weekend matchup with Liverpool. It's funny. I've never been to Liverpool (where Everton is located) but I'm so Merseyside at this point that it's not even funny. For those of you who don't know, Everton vs. Liverpool is a bit like Yankees vs. Mets. Same town - completely different culture. You all know which side of the tracks I'll be arriving to when I finally achieve my dream of getting to England to watch a match.
4) Finally, I leave you with this. I was very close to an accident that happened at work this week. I wasn't hurt. But the accident was 'spectacular' to say the least. It was numbing at first. I didn't know how to feel. But it's been a bit of an eye-opener since then. People never know how they'll go out, you know. Could be a car accident or choking on a chicken bone - or who knows how many ways there are to go (Spike TV says there are about a 1000 or so). Point is....well, I don't know what the point is. This is a basketball card site after all. Even if I knew what the point was, I don't know that I could accurately share it here. But suffice to say that this week, I'm enjoying the little things just that much more. Even writing a post that didn't have any pictures in it....

4 - Damn.
2 - I watched season 1...went from dece to amazing to dece (I didn't buy the twist that much). Now we're watching Weeds and loving that. Strongly recommended.
Give season two a chance. Really cranks up the cool-factor.
I've got the Tudors bookmarked - heard that was good. But also heard great things about weeds. I may have to just get showtime already. It seems like they're covering the territory left by the Sopranos the best (greatest show of all time).
And yeah, damn. I had another four letter word that I repeated over and over and over. But the idea was the same. And I'm still here. Bonus.
1. France. They're still in it?
2. Dexter is good. I've only seen the first two seasons. I love Netflix on the Wii. I've bee watching a shitload of Rescue Me the last couple of weeks.
3.The Beatles are from Liverpool, so that's my reasoning for backing them.
4. Glad your OK. Beers tommorrow and you can tell me about it?
5. Unrelated, but I just got home from seeing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. Best comic book-to-movie ever? I think so.
Who knows maybe Everton will get a new stadium, you know that Everton used to own Liverpool, & Everton left Anfield for Goodison.
Then the Catholics in Liverpool wanted a team so Liverpool FC were born.
It's alway's a fiest affair, I remember seing 6 thousand Everton fans torment a former Liverpool player so much he had to be substituted off to reduce chance of a riot.
