My lovely wife’s good friend is running for the Merced City Council. Alicia decided this week to throw herself into the political arena. She is a wonderful human being, with many great qualities to offer our little town.
So remember to vote ALICIA BOHLKE in November!
The new Premier League (known in the US as the EPL) kicks of this coming weekend, and I am still bummed out that Comcast is still not offering Setanta Sports as an option package.
I wrote previously about my disappointment with Fox Soccer Channels EPL lineup last season. They basically sold half their rights to Setanta in order to secure the rights to MLS games. I was hoping that Comcast would announce that they were going to partner with Setanta and offer this channel before the season began. But it seems it is not to be. Comcast are really forgetting about their soccer watching audience. Dish Network and DirectTV both offer Setanta Sports already.
One of the cool things about setanta is that they also show the 6 nations rugby championship, as well as the rugby world cup. I have missed my rugby immensely since moving here, and would love to introduce my lovely wife to the gentlemen’s game. Come on Comcast, you gotta get going on this… Or maybe its time to switch to satellite?
So I got home today expecting to find Harry after Amazon.com’s mess up, and true to their word, there is my copy awaiting me.
It has a rather fetching box that reads “Attention Muggles: Do not deliver or open until July 21st!”. Glad to see amazon.com’s sense of fun shining through.
On Saturday, because of my Harry Potter misery, I went looking for a Wii in the local stores. And would you “Adam and Eve” it I found one at Target!
Its great, its so much fun, its intuitive, and it has brought me great joy. I got the Wii (including Wii Sports) and Wii Play (with second controller). My brother in law and I had a blast yesterday playing for a number of hours. I think Wii Tennis and Wii Bowling are my favorite of the games that got bundled.
