Pussy, Pussy, Pussy......

No, I'm not morphing my blog into an adult site. We will try to stay PG-13 on 'I Gotta Name This?'. I may drop an occasional F-bomb or escriment explative, but I will leave the nudity and adult content to the 95% of the internet that already has that market cornered. The title of this post references to my newest NetFlix DVD obsession. No, not porn! I thought I already covered that! Besides, I don't think you can get porn on NetFlix. I'm talking about the greatest crime show ever created (except maybe for TJ Hooker...not): The Sopranos. Many people I work with and hang out with have talked about the Sopranos in the past, and rather than getting HBO for one show, I decided to give the mob show hit a try on NetFlix. Let me tell you, it is one of the best shows I have ever seen. BSG is still my favorite, but the Sopranos is a close number two. I've been through seasons one and two, and am half way though season three. It is very addictive, like TV crack. Season one kind of set things up for you and was kinda slow, but seasons two and three are action packed. If you don't know, the Sopranos is about a New Jersey mob family. It is interesting because, instead of just focusing on the crimes and other things generally associated with the mob, The Sopranos takes a look at the family and social aspects of the Soprano family. For example, one of the main stories is about Tony (the boss) having anxiety attacks, so he starts going to a psychiatrist, but not like Analize This funny ha ha stuff. Anyways, back to the title fo this post. Pussy is the nick name of one of the family's capitans and the god father of Tony's kids. In other words, he's close to Tony. Well, Pussy gets busted for selling heroin and makes a deal with the FBI so that he can stay out of jail. Tony finds out and Pussy gets wacked. Now, you kow a show is great when you can say, "I can't believe that Tony wacked Pussy," with no sexual meaning what-so-ever. It was sorta like in The God Father when Anthony had to wack Fredo. Very moving. Honestly, The Sopranos has everything that a guy would want in a show: comedy, action, hot women, drama, great actors, and they hang out in a topless bar half of the time. The only thing that puts BSG above the Sopranos is the kick ass effects in BSG. So, if you have never seen The Sopranos, I give it my full endorsement. Be warned, there is some very graphic sceenes of sex and violence, so if you are faint of heart, you may want to skip this show.

The Big Ten a Big Bust

Well, the NCAA tourney is over for me. All of the Big Ten teams are out after the second round of play. OSU was last to fall, only because their second round game was played late in the weekend. So, I'm done with the tourney. There's always next year. Now I need to wait six months until NCAA fotball starts up. I'll go through sports withdrawals for a while, but will be OK.

Princess Poo Poo

I'm sure some day Alydia will hate us for one of her current nicknames, butthat's what therapists are for. Here's a current picture for y'all to brighten your day. Ain't she cute?

We're Dancin'

I'm talking about the Big Dance. The NCAA tourney. March Madness. Ohio State will be in the mix when it comes down to the NCAA Tournament for the basketball national title. Both the men's team and the women's team are looked at as favorites to go far into the NCAA tourney this year. Both teams have won the regular season Big Ten Conference Titles and the women have won the Big Ten Tournament. Both teams have 20+ wins seasons and both teams are ranked in the top ten nationally for the first time that I can remember. The women have been doing well in the past years, but the men haven't done too much since the last time they made it to the Final Four way back in the day(2000) maybe? Both teams should be a number 2 or 3 seed and there is some talk that, if they can win the Big Ten Tournament, the men could be a number 1 seed. Everyone was talking about next year, when OSU would get their great freshmen recruits, for the men to make a run in the tournament but it looks like everyone underestimated second year coach Thad Matta. It is amazing that the men are in the top ten and are the team to beat from the Big Ten. Their wins include victories over Michigan State, Ilinois, Indiana, and Iowa (plus sweeping the boys from up north) and their four losses were by a combined 15 points. Their worst loss was by 10, so that means they were five points from a one loss season and being in the top five. Now, to be honest, I don't follow the women's team much, but I have been watching as many of the men's games as I could this season. They have a good mis of outside shooting and an inside game that can pick up the slack if the three ball doesn't fall. Add that to a stingy defense, and you get a team that could go to the Final Four. It's all very exciting. First, we need to look to the Big Ten Tourney, where the Bucks will play either Northwestern or Penn State this tomorrow at noon. Plerrt exciting stuff. Go Bucks!

Excited about gardening.

I know, I know. It's not what one would expect from me, but it's true. I like doing landscaping stuff. I used to have an uphill battle at our old house because the yard was pretty over grown with weeds and had too many trees. All I could plant were shade plants. I have less trees now and more sun, so my options are unlimited. I got a magazine with a bunch of plants I can order. It made me all excited about all of the different things I wanted to do in the back yard. I need to wait until we get our fence up though. We have a lot of rabbits around here, so a fence is needed for plant protection. I'll probably need to take a few days off in the spring so that I can get everything planted. Lots of work. It's fun though.

Jessica Alba is HOT.

My latest NetFlix movie was Into the Blue. It is about a couple that lives in The Bahamas and the guy is into looking for sunken treasure. He's poor, so he has shitty equipment, but he's dating Jessica Alba's character, so why would he care? All I have to say is, slow motion swimming in a thong..... There was more to the movie than that, of course, but if you like Jessica Alba, she is smokin' in this flim. There is some good action and the story is pretty good too. I wouldn't put in my top ten favorites, but I'm not regretting using up a NetFlix rental to watch this movie. The acting isn't great (the two male characters are from 90120, I think) but I was able to get past that.

I also watched The Children of Dune, a mini series that was on Sci Fi. I liked Dune, both the origonal film and the Sci Fi channel remake, but Children of Dune left me a bit disappointed. The main character of Dune, Paul, up and leaves his throne (he's the emporor of the universe) and wanders off into the dessert. It had a bunch of wierd things happen and odd subplots, and the ending was kinda dumb. I was actually a little angry after seeing this mini series because Dune was such a neat story. I think they tried to cram two long books into the mini series, so maybe they had to leave alot of important info on the cutting room floor. I guess it was interesting enough, but I was not pleased overall. I guess my stardards have gone up after watching season 1 of the Sopranos. Now, THAT is a good show.
