I'm exhausted. I should have known better than to stay in a dorm room in a high school for this conference. Only four more days!
Other thoughts:
1. I'm as depressed as can be about a first place baseball team right now.
2. How crazy does that ESPN Bronx is Burning miniseries look?
3. Anyone who thought they were going to get some dramatic ending to the Sopranos clearly wasn't paying attention the last eight years. While I didn't love the episode, I thought the last five minutes was brilliant.

sorry you're feeling so down:(
A friend of mine sent me this
Here's the story from a Sopranos aficionado source (obviously not my
wording):
In fact, the ending was genius if you've paid attention to the show or
are just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie
together and have the memory of a champ to remember it all the ending
was simple, he got killed, but let me tell yall why and explain in
detail... There was 3 people in the room total who had a reason to kill
tony.....
the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only
shot in the ear, this was in one of the earlier seasons, also in the
earlier seasons, the trucker who was sitting at the bar stool, who the
camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki leotardo, Phil Leotardos nephew, he
was in one of the early season episodes where Phil and Tony have a sit
down....
heres where the genius comes in....
When tonys walking in the diner,you see the camera focus on him, then it
switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes
gonna sit at...
then the camera switches back to tonys face, then it once again switches
to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and looking @
the people come in..... Everytime the door opens the Chimes sound.......
Carmela walks in, Chimes, AJ walks in Chimes, this when Meadows parallel
parking, still trying to get inside the restaurant....
at this point the camera switches back to the trucker who goes in the
bathroom......
Then it goes to a scene where meadow finally parks and starts running in
the diner....
the doors about to open, Tony looks up....
and No Chimes......................
no Music............
everything just goes black...............
in one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with bobby
bout what it must feel like to die..
Bobby says "at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything just
goes black"
part of that was revisited in the second to last episode during the last
seconds of it, when tonys about to go to sleep and he flashes back to
the memory of him and bobby on the boat... "You probably dont hear
anything everything just goes black"
so in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door
sounded but when meadow came in, the guy in the trucker hat came out and
killed tony...
its the reason you didn't hear, or see anything when he died.... it was from
his perspective.... and everything went black, then the credits rolled.
I actually read something from the shows writers (it's been about a week and a half, so i don't recall the actual source) that debunked that whole theory.
the first being that the actual line about bobby said was just that you prbably don't hear anything - he never said anything about it going black.
they also said that none of the characters in the diner were previous characters, and in fact, there never was a character named Nikki Leotardo, and, something about the door actually chiming when Meadow walks in, it's just faint or something.
I'm not arguing that the ending wasn't genious or perfectly appropriate or anything, it's just that i also heard all of those theories, and then heard them all countered by another source. I guess you believe what you want to believe.
