Did bit-torrent break or something?

as long as we´re sharing personal information like cat names, I´m getting married this weekend and somebody else needs to take care of the Lexy D-league thread while I´m away.

Congratulations and good luck!:)

Thanks for the kind words everybody....We´re going on a cruise out of Miami for the honey-moon. I can´t wait....

The Mexican tradition (or so im told) is to get married in the home town of the bride. So if anybody is in Sinaloa Mexico this Sunday, consider yourself invited. We are coming to the states afterwards for the honey-moon and to visit charlotte a bit and try to work out some immigration stuff for her. Hopefully I can find time to sneak in a cats game while I´m in town.

Man that finale got to me. I just had this empty feeling inside. I couldn't get it out of my mind while trying to sleep. Then I dreamt about it and when I woke up it was the first thing I thought of.

Minor Implied Spoilers. Don't read if you might watch this show and believe me it's worth it.

I kept thinking of how innocent ______ is and what _______ went through at the end of the episode. Plus Dexter has grown so much emotionally that I'm sure most people were hoping he could gain some control over his dark passenger to the point that he may someday be free. For the first time he had others that he genuinely cared about and you just don't know how what he's going to do at this point.

Good luck with your marriage!! Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Yea, I cannot, in good conscience, promote piracy. I don't have a netflix account, but I've gotten movies on my apple tv and that's pretty much the same thing. Netflix is a monthly subscription vs apple tv's selections being pay per view, unless you but the file. The DVD has quickly become obsolete, but I definitely agree about BR. IIRC, BRs are HUGE files and the best video quality available right now. THAT SAID, I guess I've downloaded HD movies through atv and it didn't take too much longer than sd.

*****Possible spoilers to follow*****

Re: Dexter-- yea, I know what you mean. I watched it the night I made that comment and felt pretty bad for ______ afterward. _______ had always been annoying, but not in a bad acting way, I felt like ____'s character was pretty justified. Dexter has seemingly changed a lot since this season began as he realized he wasn't very much like Lithgow (who was, as always, incredible), so I was looking forward to his life adjusting as he tired to tame his dark passenger as well... but that might have gotten stale. I don't see the series going too much longer anyway though and it might have been nice for Dexter to have a bit of a super happy ending before the series came to a conclusion... because I don't see how things can end well for Dexter once the final credits run.

BTW Fat, what do you think about Sole Survivor?

Post #1047 » by **fatlever** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 4:16 am

russell was robbed. it was a travi-sham-mockery is what it was. natalie does nothing for 40 days and wins cause the jury is a bunch of spiteful haters.

what kind of message does that send... the best way to win survivor is to keep your mouth shut and do absolutely nothing for 40 days. sad, just sad.

I agree, everybody around me feel the same way, Russel was robbed. I actually liked Natalie and I'm ok with her winning (she initiated Erik blindside, she know who Russell is early and decide to stick with him because of that too i.e. whe knows he won't be likeable) - but seeing Russell depressed in Reunion was painful I felt sorry for him.

BTW, cast of the next season is already on the net (some people analyzed the logo where they actually used real sillouttes of 20 contestant). And those faces shown in the preview are known too (there were actually 32 of themv and it look like it has nothing to do with the cast).

My best score is just over a 100. Does take a while to get the hang of it.

The bb game isn't bad, but I am more addicted to this game than a junkie is to free crack.

Through much wheeling, dealing and trades I have to say - man I love my 2K10 Association team!!

Kidd - DJ
T.WIll - Bookie
Crash - Grant HIll - Dorrell Wright
A.Randolph - Jordan Hill - Wilcox
Nazzy - DeAndre Jordan - Haywood - Jerome James

I have around $15 mil coming off the books at the end of the season that I can let walk and no FA's that I need to retain.

I also have two first round picks in the upcoming draft and will make the playoffs as the 6th seed.

I wish I was a billionaire so I could actually own and run a team.

Dream job.

Post #1059 » by **fatlever** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 5:49 am

kidd, twill, crash and randolph... can anyone shoot on that team? pack the lane i say.

but i bet you are hell on wheels on the fast break.

Post #1060 » by **BigSlam** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 2:05 pm

T.Will has been putting in a LOT of extra time in the gym and is now a respectable shooter.

I'm actually playing DJ more than Kidd so that opens the floor up. Only draw back there is that Kidd isn't happy with his PT and although he is under contract for three years is starting to think about a trade. I also have Bookie who knocks down 3's like no mans business.

But ya, I play pretty up and down. Lots of back door cuts for T.Will, Crash and AR are the order of the day with my play book!!

Heaps and heaps of pick and rolls.

It makes it easier with DJ/Kidd, T.Will and AR because they are all great at passing the ball so I tend to get open looks.

I'm going to draft the best available SG in the upcoming draft and look to trade for Joakim Noah - who wants out of Detroit - and make him my starting C.
