Marlins see edge in ipod. I'm rather surprised this is something clubs are just now realizing they can do.

DeepDiscountDvd's semiannual 20% off sale started yesterday. One of the discount codes that will work is USATODAY, and as ever, everything ships free. Like, even if you just buy Dead Again for $4, HINT HINT. (It is my mission in life to see to it that everyone owns this movie.) I'm probably not getting much since I still have things from last time I haven't finished watching. For due South fans, I note that the third season of the re-packaged episodes is available for just over $15. I think as of right now, I'm gonna wait until Tuesday, so I can order the 3rd and 4th season of Dead Zone (both priced at about $15 each), and I'll also get the Dr. Katz set, since it's $11. I never got around to buying Alien Nation back in January, so I'll get that now ($28). I'm on the fence about getting the White Sox World Series boxset ($38), mostly because I don't really care to keep any of the World Series games; I'd just be interested in the discs with the final ALDS and ALCS games. (Actually, if you'd be interested in splitting the boxset with me, lemme know. You could have the boxset case, if you want it. Though I might want to keep Brandon's great game, maybe? Hmm. But we can talk that out.)

Oh, Branagh's Henry V is $7. Okay, getting that too, because I only own it on video. BUT THAT'S IT. Sadly, the Deadwood & BSG sets are still too pricy for my tastes.

Listening to the Yanks/A's game and Michael Kay is describing Chavvy's injury and **shudders**. Poor dear.

Oh! My dad just announced he's going to Egypt on Monday, for work. But only for a month, which is...meh. **laughs** 'Cause that's not enough time for me to put together a visit! But maybe it'll work out and once he's been back once, he won't be so resistent to the idea of going back in the future. We'll see.


The media's love affair with Nick Swisher continues:
Sophomore Year - Part Four: Cleveland Rocks
Swish on The Hot List talking about his all star chances

Oh, and:
Kyle Farnsworth, on Players Talk - 06.08.06
Dan Uggla, on Players Talk - 06.07.06 ("The Rule 5 was the best thing that's probably ever happened to me." ♥ lol, I'm sure your wife is thrilled to hear that, Danny.)

angisageek - had you seen that Hafner and Michaels have both been on Players Talk in the past month? Lemme know if you'd like me to grab those for you.

eta: Btw, I'd like to thank Mark Mulder for picking up the slack created by Brad Lidge and Huston Street deciding not to suck so much anymore. I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with myself for awhile there. You don't suppose Mr. Hakuna Matata's got free agency year anxiety, do you? Or maybe second thoughts about that whole engagement thing plague his every waking moment ^_~

We lived in Egypt for about 7 years when I was younger - not in Cairo, but in the suburb of Heliopolis. But we haven't been back in almost 12 years now, and I would love to go back and see how things have changed and what's stayed the same. If you get a chance to go, I would definitely recommend it ^_^ I had quite a few friends go over on study abroad programs in college, to do a semester at the American University in Cairo -- you should keep it in mind!

Poor Mark.

Jokes aside, I do wonder what's up with him. He really doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would risk playing hurt, so I don't think it's that he's not well and hiding it from the team...but three bad starts in a row? It's worrisome.
