hang in there on fargo.

Alright hide your women because I'm back!! I've finally got internet!!

I've missed you guys, that's seriously the longest I've been without the internet since forever.
it was quite a struggle.

Things I had to resort to:
Played NBA2k14 again
played Wrestlefest using the MAME arcade emulator
only watching what was broadcast on tv or had previously stored on my pc
talking to people in real life
using my imagination when alone(if you know what I mean)

me in a couple of days

re-watched Fargo, the movie, because of what Stavros found in the snow (trying my best to avoid spoilers, haha) to refresh my memory of the film.

There are more connections between the film and the series than I knew there were. In the scene where Jerry is trying to console his son he says to him "if so and so calls, just tell them Mom is in Florida with Pearl and Marty." Another connection that puts the two in the same universe.

the wife and I talked about going bush again for a while. Its a better life style for a young family as everything is more family orientated. We were in a large town last time of about 12000, and I always wanted to try a small town where you really get a feeling of community.

so here we are.

my first reaction - damn it, I wish I had noticed this before the season so I could test myself throughout all the weeks

my second reaction - they're not picking against the spread? pretty lame.
