For those of you out there without TV (like me) you can watch the NCAA basketball games online (requires Internet Explorer).

Also, if you have Windows Media Center you can watch game highlights, analysis, and even “condensed” games (with the commercials and breaks edited out). I haven’t seen a condensed game offered yet, but it may be too early in the tourney.

Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.
This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not. It is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
