Finally word on the Platinum Edition of the Return of the King is out and it looks like we will see it on December 14, 2004 - with 50 extra minutes of footage - bringing the total to 250 minutes, or 4 hours and 10 minutes. With 4 extra commentary tracks, and hours and hours of extra features, there is much entertainment to be had from this disk. It is kind of nice that they are waiting until after most of my classes and exams are over this year before they completely captivate me with movie goodness. :)

I haven't really been watching the games, but the Boston Red Sox have won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. During the American League pennant race against the Yankees, they were down 3-0, but came back with 4 straight wins and swept this series against the Cardinals 4-0. This is quite the moment for Boston I can be sure as it is quite a moment for baseball in general.
