I will be unavailable to do any blogging for the next four or five days, as MS just dropped Texas Hold ‘Em on my xbox 360. For free no less. I love poker and my 360 and this game looks (and sounds) mahvalous (except for the felt, really thats the best you guys could do?). So anyway, I’m not dead, just locked in a death spiral with my little white box.
Since MS uncharacteristically gave us a 48 hour window to get this game for free from xbox live arcade at 1 am last night, I’ve been playing almost straight since then. During the first hour I won my first tourney and made it to the highest leaderboard rank I’ll likely ever see again. At least poker gives me a chance to keep up with the trigger happy young’ins.

Spike Lee’s When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts August 21, 2006

Fire up those Tivos.
Bravo to HBO for giving Spike Lee the go-ahead for this important project. We should all remember what happened in New Orleans after Katrina, and do whatever is in our power to ensure that doesn’t happen again. The failed response that is, and not the hurricane.
Too bad I won’t be able to see this because my provider is Comcast, and those greedy bitches want over $100/mo for HBO, which is way too much. HBO how about making this one available over the internet for free as a public service. Link below with deets.
