CANDY MAN.

I watched 'The Good Shepherd' last night. I loved the cast and the story was incredible. It was really interesting, and though it was really sad, I loved the way the ending made everything come full circle.

Hahah I saw this last night--amazing.

Thanks for 2005 Pods. You weren't as bad as some people claimed, when you were healthy. However, this has to be the last straw. Your body is more frail than glass.

Wow, RIP.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) We've got DirecTV, doesn't bother me. Haha, I really have no desire to switch, but I might have to eventually. We have Insight here in Bloomington, which is being taken over by Comcast on January 1. I just want this issue to be conceded somehow/somewhere. Both sides are being babies about this whole thing: The Big Ten claiming this isn't about money, and thinking they're bigger than the NFL etc. Comcast for thinking channels like QVC and the Home and Garden Network are more important entities to our basic cable package. Also, the stupid fan messages they've been posting on Big Ten message boards is quite ridiculous. --- The good thing is campus cable at IU has agreed to pick it up, so for all away games that are on the BTN, we're going to our office in AH.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) Agreed. Comcast is a huge part of the midwest and Big ten country, outside a few areas. It would be disastrous if this fell through. As much as I want to see this channel, the Big Ten is full of itself. The NFL is definitely the biggest thing in sports in the US, and they can't even make the basic package on Comcast, etc. with the NFL Network. I would love for this thing to be on a basic package, since that's where all the non-national games went anyways. Plus, it'd be a cheaper thing for all of us; however, that's not just realistic. The Big Ten's going to have to give a little more than Comcast does on this. And I hope they do fast, with football kicking off next weekend.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) Did everybody start this week? I know UofI doesn't start till the 27th, and we (Marquette) don't start to the 27th. Sort of sucks that I have to live in a dorm this year, but I'll make do. At this point I just want to get to Friday -- I'm all alone :sadface. IU doesn't start until next Monday either.

I love syllabus days. It's the easiest day of class.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 04:55 PM) I dont think I ever attended class for the first week. College rules, in honor of this, I am going to turn my apartment into a pseudo dorm for the remainder of the semester. The first week of classes is the best though.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 04:47 PM) I heard the very end of it. What did he say? A lot of it was about Vick basically being innocent, and all of this is really being done to make an example out of him. It was pretty ridiculous, and he had some crazy lines about feeling bad for Vick because he has to go from eating filet mignon everyday to bologna sandwiches.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 04:44 PM) FWIW, ESPN contacted me to participate in this... When I replied and told them that Southpaw was clearly "the most now," I think I was removed from consideration as a participant.

This Ray Buchanan interview is insane.

Mountains out of mole hills.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Aug 19, 2007 -> 12:07 PM) I thought it was cool visually, but I thought it was just an alright movie. Exactly how I felt. It was the same of what I thought of Sin City.

Am I the first person to see 300 and not really like it?

If AIM wasn't so awful about C/Ping convo, I would show you all how worthless Heads is right now.

Happy belated Nuke!

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) The Twins have been fairly good about not letting the faces of their franchise leave. Like Kirby Puckett. It is not a given for Santana to leave via free agency. Totally different. Those were also World Series caliber teams; these Twins teams--though good, are not that.

Oh well, I don't really see a scenario where Santana stays in Minnesota anyways.
