cmk418 | Best laid plans

My brother left me a message on my voice mail just to warn me not to watch "Babel". I will admit that I had planned last week to watch it if the DVD came before Sunday. The DVD came on Thursday and I still haven't bothered. I was only going to give it thirty minutes, but even that seemed a bit silly. Why watch thirty minutes of that when I could watch thirty of some other Oscar-nominated film, perhaps the one that is currently occupying my DVD player? But he hated it passionately and he can be on target with what he dislikes. What he likes is another story. So I'm not watching the overly long movie that apparently will just suck time from my soul.

Less than sixteen hours til the pre-game.

And, yes, people, this is the one day of the year that I'm like this.
