For those who do not know what McSweeney's is, go here: www.mcsweeneys.net and figure it out. If you manage to find the Lists page on the site, you'll note that they post humorous lists that are sent to them. I created such a list and sent it in. A reply arrived yesterday that said it was a "good read", but that they would not be choosing to ( Read more... )

Okay, so there's a big bunch of time between my last update and when I went to New York. Fortunately, nothing really happened so I'll spare you the mundane details. The day before I left was interesting. I finished packing about about 2 in the morning and needed to be up three hours later to make it to the airport in time to catch my flight. I ( Read more... )

A lot of stuff has happened since my last post. However, the biggest thing is that the spring semester has finally ended (yes-it required two all-nigthers to get everything edited in time). My grades came back and I was pleasantly surprised to find 5 A's and 1 B (darn you, Steve White! You and your "standards"...). Anyway, it was better than I ( Read more... )

2005 was a pretty darn fantastic year for film. I only gave 15 films the highest rating on netflix (an error in multiple ways), but there were some incredibly strong ones to which I only awarded four stars (I usually dislike the netflix rating system, but considering I don't apply the Ebert one to the movies I watch, it's what I am forced to go by ( Read more... )

Attention everyone (all four of you): my list of the best movies of 2005 is tentatively scheduled to be released before the week's end. I know that you may already be squirming in your seat with anticipation. Soon, dear children. Soon.

I'll give you the run-down of today, because I've nothing else to do. I awoke at 6:45 a.m. and yes, it was a Saturday. I had to be on campus around 8ish so I could get footage of the KHSSL state speech tournie for my news story. I met a coach yesterday who hooked me up with an interview. I got a little footage then went to work at 10. I came ( Read more... )

I'm gonna try and add said trailer now:

So, as the sole anonymous poster mentioned in response to my last post-I am still alive with all fingers intact...for now. Um...skiing was fun. I went down every slope (even the black diamond trick park). That makes me sound really good, but I would only go through it and go off of a jump. So other stuff has happened since then as well. But it ( Read more... )

Sorry gang, no movies this time (though I did finally see King Kong today). I don't have the time to review what I've seen since my last post, so I'll be doing that later (God willing). And now for something completely different....When we last left our hero ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm really gonna hate this because there are so friggin' many movies I have to review. But first, here's what's happened since my last posting ( Read more... )
