As this is my last Saturday living in a coma-stupor I am trying to recalculate my sleep schedule...meaning no passing out until the sun goes down (and also no getting up at 2am and putzing around for 4 hours until work).
Besides doing chores I have been browsing Netflix.
Netflix, being the helpful bastard it is recommended me Sparticus: Blood and Sand.
Oooooooooooo
So I watch. And I love.
Stylized? Sure, but you have to love the fight scenes, so 300.
Interesting? Plot wise I like the threads (well 2 out of 3 anyways), the Roman whorishness that most shows lack is very appealing and at the same time so decadent.
Ok it is true that I'll give any show with long haired guys killing each other a chance but this one paid off.
...Until I realized it had just premiered last night.

Highly recommended for a good time but I hope you like waiting. Me? Waiting is not one of my favorite things. Back to looking for something to watch as I organize my house.

The Year of the Jock
Welcome to 2010! A new year, a new decade and the start of a great time for sports!
So what am I babbling about?
2010 Winter Olympics (oh yeah, I have a countdown for this and cannot wait!)
2010 MLS Season. This year, since I will have weekends off (finally!) I can go to NE Revolution games!
The possibility of a 2010 Boston 13's rugby club's 1st ever season! Look out for the American National Rugby League, there are already established teams around from last season. Rugby, the OMG He-Lost-An-Ear sport. Think football and soccer with no padding what so ever. Oh yeah.
....yes, rugby. I used to watch the games down at Lake Ave and while I don't really understand the rules of the game (never mind that there are 2 different sets of rules depending on whether it is classified as a union game or a league game) I like watching it.
Plus qualification matches for the 2011 World Cup will start up at the end of the year, NZ Rugby starts in April, I'm still watching the English Premier League hoping to the Almighty that Manchester United doesn't win (at least they aren't in first place), and the Stanley Cup Playoffs coming up at the end of regular season (go go Martin!).
Oh yeah, screw the year of the pig or rooster, it is now the Year of the Jock!
I would babble on more but it is time to watch the Devils and the Islanders clash. Yahoo sports cast - the cheapo's way! :)
