Moving
I'll be letting my paid LiveJournal account at this URL expire when the time comes up in about a month. I'm working on new digs and a new format. For anyone that cares, I'll let you know where you can find me when the time comes. -
Winter Classic
I know modern sports fans are supposed to be cynical and unhappy and complain about everything that's wrong with their game. Some, like the people who foolishly believe that there was ever a "Golden Age" of Hollywood reigned by nothing but glamour, happiness, and artistic purity, probably even yearn for the imaginary years where sports was just ( Read more... ) -
Post-Christmas Rundown
*I finally saw Atonement. Maybe it was just the months and months of critical praise that had been heaped on it that left me disappointed, but it was definitely a let-down.

Invisible Resume
When you're a public figure, there is such a thing. While most of us can quietly leave off or shroud habits like excessive drinking from our resumes, a celebrity famous for it cannot. The same goes for any other kind of behavior that might seem detrimental to the marketability of a film or television show (see: Tom Cruise). That's why I was ( Read more... )
