I finished watching the fifth season of The Sopranos this weekend. Jesus, they piled on the misery: Adriana's story finally coming to a resolution, Tony B.'s short happy life, Tony Soprano's continued struggle. I don't have HBO so it'll be forever before the sixth and final season is on dvd. I think I'll try Deadwood next.

I took my cousin to see Mission: Impossible 3. Not bad. Like the biggest ever episode of Alias, which would have been infinitely better. Fun to see some cameos from Alias regulars: Greg Grunberg, of course, and the spooky Russian guy who was Lena Olin's right hand man. He's British, though. Who knew?
I tried to take Ryan to get an ice cream afterwards but he declined. This is the second person to turn down ice cream with me recently. The next time I'm going to take it personally.

Dude, I never turn down ice cream. NEVER.
Well, alright. Next time we're in the same zip code, ice cream it is!
Deadwood is, dare I say, better than the Sopranos. At least, the first season is. I'm still waiting for season 2.
I'm looking forward to it, Josh. First 2 discs of Deadwood are next in line on Netflix.
Hey, sorry about turning down the ice cream! I should have mentioned I am not a real ice cream person. Occasionally it is okay. If it's soy. ;)

Damn it, I forgot, you made three!
Deadwood is awesome.
Am I the other ice cream refuser? But I was already stuffed with cured meats!
Bets
Now you're number 4!
So am I to take it you just offer this ice cream thing to everyone?!?!? I thought I was special Paul. Gosh!
;) -J
Wait, you mentioned an offer of ice cream to me once if in the same vicinity.
*gasp*
We have an ice cream philanderer here, folks!
I think think the real story is no one will go with me!
Wait--Victoria Chang did! She even bought me a t-shirt!
So there. I don't like you guys anyway!
