Which is part of the reason I stopped. I started repeating myself and having
a hard time evaluating stuff that was good, but I was sick of. Frankly I
don't know how Siskel and Ebert have been doing movies for so long. Maybe
there's just more to talk about than a 70 minute disc.
The other reason I stopped was of course XMission. Here I sit on a Saturday
night, unshaved from my 3:00 AM night on Friday. Road crew for the Infobahn.
Bleck.
