Did anyone else know YouTube has movies now? I stumbled upon it last night and watched Fire Over England with Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, and Flora Robson, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The selection of movies is kind of random (including a lot of Bollywood for some odd reason...), but there's some good stuff. There are also some TV shows. ( Read more... )

I'm improved from yesterday. At least I'm not crying. I should have realized, though - Aunt Flo came to visit early. :P

I did nothing at work yesterday as a result of feeling like crap. I applied for some jobs online and posted an updated version of my résumé on Monster. I even sent a copy to Major League Baseball on a lark. There aren't any ( Read more... )

Yankee fans laugh in the face of Norse mythology! And I'm not the only one calling him Scooter. Jen can attest I said the other day that he's the reincarnated Phil Rizzuto.

In other baseball-meets-epic-poetry developments, the Yankees faced Gil Mesche today. His last name is pronounced "mesh". So, my dad said, "Okay, so we had Beowulf the ( Read more... )

Seeing as Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows will be released a week from Saturday (!!) and because the New York Times OpEd Section has Five Ways to End Harry Potter as their lead article this weekend, I thought I'd jot down my predictions:

I. Sudan Relents on Peacekeepers in Darfur - Thank God. Maybe something will be alleviated in Darfur. Hopefully the Sudanese government won't renege...again.

However, I did read a really saddening editorial about Darfur in the Washington Post last weekend about why none of the world governments really seem to be all that keen on doing anything ( Read more... )

For those who have seen Pirates 3, I have an opinion poll regarding something I found on Wikipedia last night about Will Turner:
