Some housekeeping here: I've changed the permissions on the bulletin board to "public," which means that anyone can post without having to register. (It's a bit of drag to register, I know.) Hopefully this will generate some comments -- if you like what I write, or you like what I upload (or hate them), let me know! I'll keep the forum public, anyhow, until I get hit by spam...
The season finale of The Sopranos was just about perfect -- one of the funniest episodes in a while, and simultaneously the one that ratcheted up the moral dilemmas for "General" Tony. Plus the season ends the way it begins, with a big black bear lumbering through the woods to the Soprano house.
Madeline and I got to go out and see a movie -- the first time this year! -- so we saw Alfonso Cuaron's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Kept waiting for Y tu Mama Tambien-like erotic tension between Harry, Hermione and Ron, but was disappointed. =) But all in all, it was the best of the three films so far: darker, more lushly photographed, more tightly plotted.
One of the cool things about Amazon.com, which I just discovered a couple of minutes ago, is that typing your name in the search box also gives you your citations -- a great tool for any struggling academic wanting to beef up his retention and tenure files!
Speaking of Amazon.com: thank goodness for those Pinays, "not dedicated to the quagmires of feminism!"
And what a bad year for music so far: Coxsone Dodd, Jose Maceda, Elvin Jones, Steve Lacy, Robert Quine...
