    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button rocked my socks off

    Seriously you need to go see this movie. Brad Pitt is stellar, but his performance isn't even close to the best in the movie. I'm not sure if this has been discussed much on the running movie board, but I figured it deserved a thread of its own. It made me laugh, cry, and then some...and...

    Dating someone older than your mother

    So I haven't posted on here in a while, but I wanted to get the opinions from some of the SportsJournalists.com crowd on this one. I lost my job on Wednesday, which sucks, but one of the good parts, at least, there's gotta be SOMETHING positive, is that I have some free time that I haven't had...

    The mighty Zep to tour without Plant?? Seriously?

    http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003885909 That has got to be a joke. The singer from Alter Bridge? Scott Stapp wasn't available? Paleez!

    Running favorite Simpsons episode thread

    I just bought the third, and seventh, Simpsons seasons on DVD over the past few weeks(Helps me get packing done before I move. And, yes, I need a life.) I realized watching em that trying to name one episode as my favorite would be nearly impossible. So, what better way to mark my 1,000th...

    Yahoo Sports: 9 and 11 year old hit back-to-back aces at TPC Sawgrass

    http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/golf_experts/post/Punk-kids-drill-back-to-back-aces-at-Sawgrass?urn=golf,94076 I used to hate running holes-in-one back in the day because everyone and their dog would hit an ace and demand that it be in the newspaper. This one seems interesting, though, in...

    Bonds and the Dbacks?

    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/120302 You knew someone would be looking at Baroid. It would be interesting seeing Bonds in San Fran wearing a rival's jersey.

    Moving from the desk

    In the current job climate, can a person legitimately get a reporting job, or some other kind of job not called "copy editor"? Particularly if you've been in the business a little over 2 years and has spent the last year desking? Most places ask for writing clips along with their resume. Is...

    Being homesick

    Is a lovely feeling to have. :P It's my own damn fault, I went to check the news of my hometown paper's web site, and now I'm really wishing I were there after talking to my brother. It's been close to a year since I've been back, and well, it's not bad when your mind is on other things. But...

    Sue Simmons...whoops

    So it's not Berman, or even O'Reilly, but she said it live on camera. NSFW?

    Knicks reportedly hire D'Antoni

    Apologies if this is a d_b, I didn't see it here anywhere and I'm a bit shocked. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/basketball/nba/05/10/coach.knicks/index.html?eref=T1 This could actually be a good move for both D'Antoni and the Knicks. But they, both you could argue, are exhibit A and B...

    Save some money on fuel?

    A link I stumbled on, and then another I found after googling, says if used at the right ratio, Acetone, like paint thinner or nail polish, can considerably make your car more fuel efficient. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Acetone_as_a_Fuel_Additive and here...

    A little help with proper possessives

    Story has proper name used like this: After sitting a while, the Johnsons friend decides to leave. Is it Johnsons' or Johnson's? I'm inclined to think it's Johnsons' but I'm not 100 percent sure. Thanks in advance!

    Is this a big deal?

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/04/06/padres.peavy.ap/index.html Black defends Peavy, says it's rosin and dirt. Looks a little suspicious, but eh, isn't it a bit early to start cheating?

    Mayor in Brazil tries outlawing death....

    Because the town's cemetery is full. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1641442.html This story seems fake to me. Especially considering toward the end it says: Who in his or her right mind would take this law seriously?

    Building a life

    So I took stock of my life a few days ago and realized, really, I don't have much of one. I have my copy editing job, an apartment, a car, a computer and a guitar and some videos posted on YouTube, and that's about it. I'm getting sick of it, I need more substance in my life. I'm throwing...

    How do we get out of this mess?

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/08/business/08recession.html?hp Based on the monthly jobs report, this report in the New York Times, along with others elsewhere, I'm sure, claims recession is inevitable. It says "If history is a reliable guide, the recession of 2008 is now unavoidable." A lot...

    My new song....

    Is on YouTube.. I hope I'm not breaking any SportsJournalists.com rules by posting this here... I've struggled with whether I should post it because essentially I'm outing myself. After some internal debate I decided I'm OK with it. The black-and-white-to-blur effect dubbed over the video...

    Royals to the NL?

    So the team dismissed the rumor according to the KC Star, http://www.kansascity.com/sports/columnists/jeffrey_flanagan/story/498675.html But would the Royals be in a better position to compete in the NL Central? I think it's blasphemy; it'd be like the Green Bay Packers or the Chicago Bears...

    Ways to avoid debt?

    I'm starting to think working as a journalist means being in constant debt. I spend very little, yet I'm mounting a significant debt thanks to doctor bills and the $500 plus I'm dropping on replacing my car's brakes. Does anyone have any success stories on getting past their debts? Anyone got...
