I just watched the last episode of The Sopranos. Ever since it ended I stayed away from the website, the reviews, the stories. I didn’t want to know how it ended.

I have to say I ended up disappointed. I invested a lot of time over the years watching the episodes, keeping current, enjoying it for the most part. The first half of Season 6 was average and started losing me. The second half was good and the last couple of episodes (before the finale) really got me interested. I was thinking that it could end quite well…. alas, it sucked and I felt like I wasted a fair amount of time.

Grrrrr.. Curse The Family… and Good Riddance. I’ve still got 24… or a comedy so the drama doesn’t ruin it in the end.

I also recently received my Fonera router. If you happen to be in the neighborhood feel free to leech, but I’ll be watching!

Finally booked the flight to Vegas for the bachelor party. So far it’s Jason, Dan, and I. I believe there will be a few more stragglers as the date approaches. If you’ve changed your mind or want in, let me know and I’ll pass along the details.

The lamp on my dlp went out. I hope 9 months is not indicative of the normal lamp life. OEM bulbs run for about $150, and I have seen that my particular bulb is on national back-order. Sounds like everyone’s is going out. I have a service call into Samsung since it should be covered under warranty. Sigh.. 3 - 5 business days to set it up and then who knows how long before they will come out to my house. You can bet I’ll be buying a spare for the next outage… then again maybe I’ll have a different TV by then. So Tina and I have resorted to the good old days of the 19″ TV in our upstairs living room. It’s not quite the same :-/

The Choxie bar experiment is complete. 207 bars in just over 3 weeks. Not too bad. I won’t disclose the juicy details here but lets just say we saved some money on our wedding favors.
