To discuss:
USA v Mexico tonight from Mexico City. A house of horrors for Uncle Sam's boys. This is the biggest game the US has played since Germany06 by far. Win, and it goes a long way toward qualifying for South Africa. Kickoff's at 4pm.
Fermi satellite may detect hypothesized dark matter within five years. Weird, wild stuff.
Miyazaki's latest, "Ponyo", opens this weekend. I know P Brady's seeing it. Are you?
Rec the fuck out of RD's St. Niemann's Day fanpost. He pretends to hate everyone, but I think we all know he's a giant pussy made of clouds and feathers and Snuggies.

And I hope rugby sevens makes it into the Olympis over baseball
What we need is more sports that are only played in Oceana and a few other countries, in which Fiji is a dominant force.

Are Fiji dominant in anything?

Curious trivia:
the last Olympic Gold Medal for rugby was won by the U.S.A. in Paris, 1924 (where they were defending their gold medal win in 1920)
I love rugby sevens: Fiji, Samoa, Western Samoa and Tonga light it up…. but it will be a travesty if baseball misses out.

the US needs to avoid giving up an early goal, while it seems obvious
they really seem to gain confidence the longer they stay tied or lead an opponent.

oh Esteban
Marlins signed RHP Esteban Yan to a minor league contract.
Yan will report to Triple-A New Orleans. He was pitching in the independent Atlantic League and could potentially join the Marlins’ bullpen by September. Then again, the 34-year-old hasn’t appeared in the major leagues since 2006.
The Marlins got me rooting for them to overtake the Phils
Yes, that would be sweet.

The team that eventually became the Marlins was originally supposed to come to TB. This was after the Twins and White Sox failed to relocate here.
St. Pete even built the Trop to lure a team here/show committment to MLB. But at the 11th hour, Huizenga swooped in and promised more money (seems hilarious now) and glamour if they put the FL team in Miami.

I’ve already seen it, I’m not seeing the dub with the siblings of people I despise.

Subtitles with original voices, 95% of the time is better than dubs.

Cowboy Bebop was better IMO, and there are a few others

But it’s still a really good movie.

btw, Have you/Are you going to see the new eva movie? I watched it last night, and they changed A LOT from the series.

This may sound strange, as I generally really like anime
But I can’t stand big robots. So, no. Never seen the series either.

I usually don't either, besides Eva.
Watching any current series’?

Not at the moment. The last movie I watched was the Appleseed sequel, which put me to sleep. Any recommendations?

Yeah, a few movies/series
-The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
-Serial Experiments Lain
-Melancholy for Haruhi Suzimiya(Season 1, Season 2 is ongoing and just completed an arc where 7 straight episodes are the same thing. Seirously.)
-Sayonara Zetsoubou Sensei(Not for anyone, highly stylized shots, comedy)
-Paprika(Movie)

The subsurface complications in Bill/Sookie's relationship are very similar to Buffy/Angel
I guess its true for every story where a human falls in love with a vampire, but the shared medium draws a more immediate comparison to Buffy. There are other things – the best friend with serious parental issues (Tara, Xander), vampire bars, the loyal, misunderstood shapeshifter forced into loneliness (Oz, Sam), death of the matron figure, misguided siblings (Jason, Dawn).
True Blood has the opportunity to explore dark themes in much darker ways, though, and excels.

I went to hillsborough and i loved going to the football games. of course we had a really good team. elijah dukes at lb for a couple years. Football at HHS is more of a big deal though than at some of the new tampa schools I’m guessing.
I'll agree to disagree
I find it enjoyable. Still like going back for Hillsborough-Chamberlain games.
Sorry I didn't enjoy my experience of playing it....

But then he’d be a free agent, and I have to imagine others would offer him more than we would.

I’ll admit the new page and commenting set-ups on sbn are unrivaled.
Yeah, SBN's got some nice perks that I can't top.
