Not sure if anyone else is watching the Blackhawks/Coyotes series, but Torres knocked out Hossa in the first period with a vicious hit.  Speculation is that he will get suspended for at least 6-10 games.  He left his feet and hit Hossa directly in the head with his shoulder.  They had to carry Hossa off the ice on a stretcher.  The worst part was that there was an official less than 10 feet away and he completely missed the call...

"ENOUGH WITH THE RE-ISSUES!!!" said the angry completist shaking his fist in the air...

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the biggest Darth Maul fans out there and will get this (hopefully for less than what I paid for the original version), but I'd really like to start seeing some originality from Medicom again at some point.

Not sure if everyone was aware of these or not, but there was another Be@rbrick promo that was run with the release of TPM in 3D.  The sponsor was Suntory and this time there were only 8 figures. I think 3 of these are re-releases (Yoda, R2-D2, Darth Vader), but it appears as though the Yoda doesn't have the leg detail that the previous release had.  Anyway, just thought I'd post this in case there are more completists out there that couldn't get enough 70% Be@rbrick SW figures!

When we were there last year, we saw the pod race, hoth battle and flew around Kashyyyk.  I believe when I asked, they said that there were 60 different flights that could be seen.

Sorry to hear about Tarkin, Jesse.  I hope it ends up getting better as time passes...

On a personal note, I may be seaking out advice from you as our Great Dane, Buffy, is turning 10 in May.  It's going to be a really rough patch for the entire family when it's her time.

Finally saved up the money to order this set.  It was still in-stock on the Project 1/6 site so I contacted Celga to make the purchase.  With the current exchange rate of $1 = 78 yen it only ended up costing me $121.  Now the wait is on to see if they can purchase it and then what they will charge me for shipping and fees.

So which city gets to host Tebow Time next?!

I figured I'd give this a bump again to see if anyone is working out.

I ended up getting back down to about 205 at one point last year.  However, the second half of last year was not very kind to me and I ended up going right back to where I started.  I'm finally finishing up my Masters and things are getting a little better at work, so I've been hitting the workouts again for the last several weeks.  I'm only at about 210, but I've gotten into a groove.  I ended up getting a mountain bike for Christmas so with the weather being nice for the last week or so, I've been out biking with the family.  I'm also able to get on the elliptical on a regular basis and lift almost every night.  I'm going to set my sights on 200 again list last year, but hopefully I'll actually get there this time.

If I can get to my goal weight and start feeling somewhat healthy again, I'm actually considering trying something like P90X.  However, I'm curious, is there anyone on the boards who has tried this and is also almost 40?  I don't want to spend the money on something like this if there's no way I'm actually going to be able to do the workout.  Please let me know your experiences so I can make an informed decision.  Thanks.
