Santa Claus ain't the only one coming on Christmas!

I just started reading Arthur C. Clarke's 2001. So far, very very good. This particular edition has a recent forward by ACC that includes a little tidbit about the passing of Kubrick. Also, he goes into detail about how he and Kubrick came up with the idea and some of the process involved with its creation. Interesting read. Only 2 chapters in, but I think I'm going to like it.
If you still have Return to Castle Wolfenstein (yeah j0n- still got yers), a new MOD just came out for it called The Wild-West. Although it could use some work (the voice acting- ugh), its still pretty cool (and free.)
Also, just watched an *okay* documentary about Las Vegas that I rented from the library. At times the quality skirted the realm of Burger Town, but then they showed old black-and-white photos of dead mobsters, and it all worked out. Also, it had a pretty good section on uber-creepy Howard Hughes... damn Mormans got him!
Good Shows/Bad Shows:
Firefly: Good show.
Boomtown: Bad show (that had potential.)
