Alas, I only saw one of the Best Picture nominees before Sunday's Oscars, "Michael Clayton." I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it would/should win. I'll have to get out to see "No Country for Old Men;" I've enjoyed the Cohen Brothers work in the past so I'm sure I'll like this one. Who's seen it?
Wow, I didn't think it was possible but the...

No country for old men is a badass movie. I'm glad that Javiar Bordam dude won an oscar. He plays a really good wacko. I plan to vote for Nader for the third time.

Four years ago, I remember how much everyone on SG seemed to hate Bush. EVERYONE hated Bush. And yet, he was re-elected, in part because younger voters didn't turn out in large numbers as a lot of people had predicted. I can't point a finger at everyone on SG, but let's face it, a lot of you didn't turn up at the polls.

its actually a shade of grey!
I'm off to Chicago for a conference. Kind of an 11th hour thing. Normally, going to a conference would be fun, but not Chicago. In January. Brrrrrrrr! Never been to the Windy City, but I also don't think I'll get much time to see it.
Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes. 44. Wow, who'da thunk? I don't feel a day over 26, except for my...

As I was watching the coverage from Iowa Thursday night, I began to think about Clinton. Bill Clinton. That was the last time, heck, the first time, a politician actually made me feel pretty good. Not from Iowa because he didn't win there in '92, but just in general. He presented a sense of hope and freshness that we hadn't seen in years.
Until last...

Happy Birthday suga!

Yes, they're common currency I guess. It's funny, 'cause it doesn't affect me that much, I just pour thoughts into this thing to get them out of the way 
No plans for New Year's, just some dinner, DVDs and sleep. I should have said debauchery to go with the "D" theme, but frankly, I'm too old and tired for that at the moment. Maybe next year. 
Christmas was fun, but since it fell on a Tuesday, and I had to work on Monday, it was a strange week. Anyhoo, enjoyed the short break, and...

Agreed on the Christmas week thing. I had to work half day on Christmas eve then I was off Christmas day. Threw my whole week off. Plus I had to work the Saturday before so that didn't help.
I wanna see Sweeny Todd. Johnny Depp is so dreamy!!

Precisely, exactly what everyone, everyone is saying. Every once in a blue moon, someone that brilliant comes along... i guess this si what people felt when they saw John Kennedy as well. I tell you, even the zealot that I am, my joy and excitement is beyond words!
Happy New year, and let's have the audacity to HOPE

My gf has regrettably turned me into an obsessive about Project Runway. I hate myself for liking this show. True, it's less of a trainwreck than most reality shows, but I know nothing about women's fashion, and now I find myself yelling at the screen like I'm watching a football game. 
I don't like the judges (Heidi Klum looks amazing, however), and I don't even...

Sounds like a fun Christmas party. My company doesn't do anything fun like that. Of course if they rented out a place it would have to be like....8 restaurants combined.

I added an asterisk.
I can't get over how fast this year has flown by. 
And, we're still a year away from electing a new president (those 1/20/09 bumper stickers crack me up).
I have no plans to leave here, but I think I'm going to incorporate Facebook into my life a bit more for work reasons. I have a profile up there somewhere; I'd tell you what it...

I'm about to start playing soccer on my company team. Yay!
I'm about to start playing soccer for my company team, and suffer a heart attack because I'm out of shape, overweight, have high blood pressure... and I'm 43. Boo!
Wish me luck.
In other news, between the Yankees completely screwing up this off-season, the Red Sux winning it all, Iran's nuclear ambitions, work hassles,...

Question time! Who wants to play?
-First up, what should my Yankees do now that they've lost another disappointing playoff series? I hate to say it, but I think this is finally Joe Torre's swan song.
-What is the appeal of Sloppy Joe's? I like meat, but I've always thought that this was a strange concoction. Someone please explain.
-I'm voting for a Democrat in...

This quiz is too hard! I don't know any of the answers. I don't know why Sloppy Joe's are awesome...they just are. As for the rest of the questions..you're on your own!
_pie_:
sloppy joes are just messy deliciousnes... and I take melatonin when I cannot sleep
Man, I've been really bad about posting. Sorry about that. Busy and lazy at the same time (does that make sense?) Anyhoo, hope all of you are well. Not much new with me, just work, which is getting more stressful by the day. But, it's still fun so no worries. Oh, my old 27-in. TV blew a picture tube or something, so I had to...

Yup, good ole uofm! We have a ton of colleges and universities around here, but I'm pretty sure it's the only one in Memphis with journalism.
Our school is going along, nothing new seems to have developed on the case however, it's really sad.
Anyway, Juliette Lewis!! She's a real fox!
Voting turned out alright, I dont know if you know anything about the last Memphis mayor, but he's a real (bad) character. Guess who won again?
Hope all is well! I'll be coming up there in March hopefully!

As some of you may know, my job takes me out of town 3 days a week to a boring little burg about 15 miles outside of Hartford. There's really nothing fun to do there, and I work kinda late so I'm too tired to try to navigate Hartford for something to do (I really don't know that town at all). So, a bunch of...

It's good to be back
I looove finally figuring out what a catchy tune is, especially when it's something random from a commercial or something. God bless the internet.
As far as 50 goes, any man who can afford a giant house in Farmington with a *heated* driveway gets none of my money.

Wow, thank you so much for all the treats!! That was very sweet of you!! 
Obama vs. McCain will be verrrry interesting....
Though it looks like Hillary is staging a comeback here tonight, at least in OH and RI. TX is too early to call at the moment. I just can't get excited about Hillary. No charisma whatsoever. The convention could be pretty ugly....
Sigh. That and another 8 months + 'til the genreal elections.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. How did the Andy Petitte confession go down with you?
