Dave' Back ... Holy Shit!!!!
Dave has finally awoken from a long sleep and has returned to update my blog. Whoo!!!!!!!

Dave hasn't been feeling well recently thanks to very painful stomache that was at first called one thing and now appears to be another. At least I'm finally feeling well enough to eat all the foods I've been missing for the last four or five days. Food is good.

Since my last post lots of happened, but most of it's not worth mentioning. I'm enrolled in a poker tournament this Saturday at the Casino where PokerDave plans on cleaning up. My work's paying for it so I can write about it in my PokerDave blog so it's win-win either way for me. Speaking of the casino, they got rid of craps. What's up with that? HOw can you can have a casino without craps? I'm thinking about writing an angry e-mail or letter as soon as I can find somewhere to send it.

Strange Adventures had a nice sale last weekend with 25% off everything so I stopped in to pick up my weekly issues and got a nice discount on the new Alias Omnibus. The complete Alias comic series (it has nothing to do with the show) in one handy and very heavy hardcover. There's a pic below. It's by Brian Michael Bendis and the library has a few of them in softcover. I highly reccomend it to everyone.



Also on my reading list lately was the latest Harry Potter book. I finished it last week and wasn't as shocked by the ending after the surprise death was revealed to be a day after I started reading the book. Not bad though. Very eager to see how the tie up all the ,losse ends in the seventh and final book.

Baseball is Back!!!!!! Oh yeah!!!! The Blue Jays played pretty well on opening night and if they can keep pitching as well as they did versus the Twins we could be in for a good year. I still think the bastard Yankees will take the East, but the World Series won't be going through New York again this season. My World Series pick is the Los Angeles Angels. Place your bets.

I've been hooked on Johnny Cash music lately. I picked upa few CDs for cheap at Wal Mart and got three more from the library. I recommend the following and anything else you can get your hands on with the name Johnny Cash on it.





Dave's other picks of the week:

Movies - V for Vendetta - I haven't seen many movies recently, but out of the few I have seen this was the best. See the movie then read the book. By the way the book is better and different.

TV - The Shield - Season 1-5 - I finished watching season five of The Shield recently and recommend it on DVD to anyone. It's a lethal raw and graphic at times, but it's also a very real, well acted, story driven show with great characters. If you like NYPD Blue or any other cop show you should check it out.

Comic - I already recommended Alias, but another good book on my list recently is Fables. Currently there are six trades paperbacks out that has the monthly series in it. Check out book 1 and if you like it at all I recommend the rest. They get better and better as the story progresses.

Music - Johnny Cash - anything - Bruce Springteen Devils and Dust - Bruce's latest CD is really good. I saw him perform some of the new somgs and some old ones on Muchmoremusic awhile back and that's avialable on DVD now. I don't remember what it's called, but it's really good and well worht seeing if you like the Boss.

That's it for me for now. I'll try and update more frequently from now on.
