Can anyone tell me more about this movie, or the book it’s based on? The LoTR lift is silly, but the rest of the movie looks stunning: Hi-res version here. UPDATE: I bought the book and I’m about half-way through. I’ll write up a brief review when I’m finished.

Bomb Scare At Falwell’s Funeral
So we’d just finished dinner and my brother-in-law, an ROTC student at Liberty University gets this strange message from an AP reporter through Facebook. The reporter asked him if he knew anything about Mark Uhl because he’s friends with him on Facebook. In the message, the reporter indicated that Mark had been arrested for possession... Read More

I need a category called *sigh*. This post would definitely get filed there. I’m going to try to describe something about how I’m feeling, even though I thoroughly DON’T have to energy to put it into words. I’m aware this is a dangerous thing. In fact, I really ought to be sleeping instead of tapping... Read More

Well, Chris’s initial showing was impressive, especially since much of it was off the top of his artsy-fartsy head. But Chuck sealed first place when he called the Met to find out the name of the bust. Here’s to playing hard when you’re supposed to be working! They haven’t gotten back to him on it,... Read More

Saturday, Jess and I took a friend up to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art for one of her class assignments. It was a beautiful day, and I thought perhaps I’d help you through your dull day by giving you some educational distraction. Let’s play Name That Artwork!, a game where I take pictures of...

Sufjan (Soofyan) Stevens. You either love him or you hate him. Or you're like me and you hated his music right smack dab up to the point when you fell in love with his music.

Ok, so I’ve bumped this old article back up to the front page, because I think it deserves some attention in light of Monday’s show. Let me begin with a confession. This Monday, I watched Heroes, not 24. Oh, I flipped back and forth during commercials, but I made sure I was back before I... Read More

I woke up early this morning and got the crazy notion to visit an abandon part of a nearby town with my camera. See, there’s this dead end road with piles and piles of abandon you-name-it. Then, I found an old Route 13 off-ramp (right across from the Bucks County Courier Times building) that’s been... Read More

Murderers being concerned with PR is nothing new. Hitler used pomp and circumstance to persuade an entire nation. Saddam playfully ruffled the hair of young British hostage on television. But Cho, the notorious Virginia Tech killer, surprised me. After shooting two people and before shooting dozens more, he made a trip to the post office... Read More

Tonight I struggled with a very difficult decision. The decision has already been made, but I really would love to everyone’s thoughts on this, especially since the choice I made didn’t feel like the right one. About three months ago, a couple came in to church off the street needing money. They claimed to have... Read More

Help!, or, Post-Tax Stress Syndrome
So I’m that guy who waited until 9pm on April 17th to do my taxes. In my defense, the guy who was supposed to do them said they were in the mail and his voicemail has been full since this afternoon. But they’re done now, four hours after my wife dropped off two fat checks... Read More
