Working Vacation

I spent last week in Colorado visiting my parents. The drive out and the drive back took away two days that I usually have to work on PackRat. I did get a little work done on PackRat, but I'm not ready to release anything. Maybe next weekend.

I went to a Rockies game and saw my Dodgers beat the Rockies 3-2, thanks to a game winning hit by Nomar Garciaparra. And tonight is the series finale of Alias. Should be good. I think we actually met Milo Rambaldi last week.

Alias is so back!

Too bad it's down to its last two episodes. This last episodes constraint has got the writers back in shape. I always loved season one where Sydney was a double agent. It's is rarely portrayed and it creates so much drama and tension. When SD-6 was destroyed, that all went away. Well, now it's back for the last few episodes. Sydney is going under cover again and if you thought being a double agent was complicated, try this. Sydney is pretending to be Anna Espinosa who was pretending to be Sydney. It's awesome baby!
