Tonight, tonight, ...

Tonight the season begins in earnest here in Seattle. Last week, San Fran and the new Portland divisions posted their inaugural scores. Tonight, SFO gets a bye week, so they can relax and re-watch the season premiere of Lost and try to make some sense out of it. Benjamin Linus is definitely in my Top 5 Bad Guys and will be tough to knock out. Who else makes the list?

1) Roy Batty
2) Darth Vader
3) Hannibal Lector
4) Benjamin Linus
5) Anton Chigurh

In a great bit of 80s trivia, 25 years ago this week, two strange bedfellows announced their first offspring. Microsoft and Apple trumpeted their new suite of productivity products for the newest computer on the market, the Macintosh. But like many relationships, what seemed so pleasant and comfortable at first eventually turned south, devolving into a campaign of "anything you can do, I can do better".

I hope to see some familiar faces and some new teams tonight. Speaking of which, how many great songs can you come up with "tonight" in the title? "Heartache Tonight" by The Eagles, "Tonight, tonight, tonight" and "In the air tonight" by Phil Collins, and "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpins are a good start.
