How Do I Blog?

I can’t be bothered to give a full review of Season 5 of The Wire, suffice to say that I felt it wrapped the series up in style - sending up many of its elements from previous seasons as biting satire of a failing system and giving a fitting farewell for many of the characters and plotlines. The newspaper storyline lacked bite and was the weakest of the “settings” where The Wire story plays out on a different stage but that said, the docklands was far weaker than it until the arc finally gained some emotional reasonance in the closing stages.

Given that I’ve now finished the five season spread and watched approximately 70 hours of TV over the past few months, I reckon I deserve some time away from the idiot box.

Or rather, replace one idiot box with another.

I’m looking at upgrading my home rig to a 23″ lcd (for multitabling the internet pokers) with wireless network so that when I finally buy a laptop I can hook it into the net without too much worry plus it allows my PS3 to stream content from the PC so I can stop burning CDs/DVDs for my spotty DivX player.

Work continues to be busy, and the month of November (due date for babby 2) is rapidly approaching. I’m feeling somewhat fatigued at the moment but still peppy enough… I’d like a holiday but a lack of annual leave days and valid opportunity is prohibiting me on that side.

I’ve kicked off the poker blog again at: http://adventuresinlowlimit.blogspot.com/ for any and all musings on my wanderings through the poker world, as I’ve been enjoying some success again recently.

That’s about all for now. I might go see Inglorious Basterds tonight as too many people have said that’s really good for me to ignore.
