the ufc show just ended with Condit-Lawler as main event - the tv announcers and folks in our chat room all agreed this was one of the greatest fights we have ever seen


rather than spoil the ending for those interested, I suggest you see the replay on youtube - it was awesome

Watching Tombstone again. One of my favorite movies although it is a fictional account on the life and times of Wyatt Earp. Most biographical movies are embellished though. And though I know it's not how it went down the movies account of Wyatts relationship with Josephine, (Dana Delaney), is the best part of the movie for me. The idea that a Lady would stay loyal to a man, and visa versa for the remainder of their lives is pretty appealing. Even though in this case, it's fiction. We do like our fantasies that's why the movie business does so well.

Immortal Egypt with Joann Fletcher

Episode 1

The Road to the Pyramids




Brand new four-part BBC series.

In the first episode, red-haired Yorkshirewoman Professor Joann Fletcher, an Egyptologist at the University of York, goes in search of the building blocks of Egyptian civilisation and finds out what made ancient Egypt the incredible civilisation that it was.

Joann sees how people here changed, in just a few centuries, from primitive farmers to pyramid builders and finds the early evidence for Egypt's amazing gods and obsession with death and the afterlife.

On her search, Joann travels almost 20,000 years back in time to discover north Africa's earliest rock art. She discovers how the first writing was used to calculate taxes and explores one of the first stone structures on earth - Egypt's first pyramid. Joann ends her journey in the largest monument of them all - the Great Pyramid. Here, she explains how Egypt had now reached a pinnacle - the ultimate society, creating one of the wonders of the ancient world.

I just watched Serena Williams in opening round of Australian Open

earlier, watched Buffalo > NY in women's new pro hockey league - this due to poor officiating, I thought
