My plan for the weekend was to spend most of it working on a take home final that is due Thursday. Obviously that meant I spent most of the weekend playing poker or watching TV. In a fit of nostalgia, I downloaded the entirety of V: The Minseries, and V: The Final Battle. They were huge things for me when I was a kid, and I was very excited to see these two great works again. Turns out the epic cast of thousands that I remembered was maybe a total of 30 people, and the story wasn't quite that good. It wasn't bad, though. Without all the commercials, the total runing time was about 7.5 hours, which surprised me. That means the total running time on TV was only about 10 hours. I guess the fist series was two two-hour parts, and the second was 3 two-hour parts.

I hope it won't spoil things if I tell you the humans win. And if aliens ever do appear over our planet, and supposedly in friendship declare that our scientific community is conspiring against them, don't trust the aliens over our men and women of science, or Marc Singer will come and get you!

I also watched most of season 2 of Arrested Development. Hilarious show!! I can see why it's being cancelled though. A lot of the humor was either too subtle or too intelligent for much of the viewing public to get.

And I saw that this kid whose poker career I've follwing, zeejustin (zeejustin.com) won about $130k in an online poker tourney yesterday. Kinda makes my $650 look small.
