lifeinthewaitingroom:
In an unexpected move, the Ohio State athletic department has issued a press release asking fans of Cleveland sports teams to “no longer take any interest in Ohio State teams or players.”
The move comes just days after Ohio State was upset in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men’s Basketball…

The King's Speech was just okay
Before I made my Top 10 of 2010, there were a couple films I wanted to see first, as I thought they might make the rankings. One of them was The King’s Speech, which I saw today. This film is getting the Oscar buzz like a short haircut in a trashcan and there are definitely elements of it that are magnificent.
It’s a period piece and they nail the details and put you convincingly into...

10 years ago
Today during our staff meeting, Amanda, our administrative assistant, gave our weekly devotion. She pointed to Jesus’ declaration in Revelation that he is the God who was, who is and who is to come. She asked us to think about each of these in steps and had some of us share things God had done in the past, the present and what He will do in the future. For some reason, 10 years ago was the...

I know I’m reblogging this image again, but there’s something not mentioned on this pie chart that I realized, over the weekend, was a bit misleading.
In the music industry, there is a term that few outside the industry know of or understand: recoupment. Wikipedia explains how it works:

Open Letter to ABC re: A Charlie Brown Christmas
Though I’m not as passionate about Christmas specials, I love this letter.
rocketboom:
TO: ABC FROM: Leon Lynn RE: Desecration of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” 12/8/09 Dear ABC, How could you? For years and years I have awaited the network broadcast of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as the true herald of the holiday season. I brought my kids up with the same tradition — one which has been...
Excerpt from Art of War
If you don’t do what you were created to do, “you shame the angels who watch over you and you spite the Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along its path back to God.”
Wow.

Our brains are crazy
I’m sitting here in the Inner Harbor drinking Fiji water. It tastes very smooth and calm. Of course, I know this to be nonsense. In a scientific blind taste test I would not be able to tell the difference. Yet, here I sit, drinking this water, KNOWING that it is not unique in any way discernible to my taste buds, and think it tastes great.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. And the...

Whenever my landlord’s outside, I’m very careful about how quickly I make it into my basement apartment. You, see, he lives upstairs in the house, I live in the basement with my own front door. English basements, I believe they’re called for reasons that escape me. I dart in because it’s messy. It’s a silent way of saying, “It’s dirty in here, don’t...

New Theme
Got a new theme up in this beast, basically because Ryan Connolly from Film Riot was using the exact same one I was using. Now I picked this one and I kinda like it. Added my picture down the corner out of vanity and now I think I can live with it. Unless I find out Andrew Kramer’s rocking this one tomorrow or something…

An auto tune iPhone app. Hilarious. They’re going to make a ton off this one.
Open Mic
Last night I sat in a restaurant named for Langston Hughes while poets waxed about life, love, struggle and hope. A police siren blared in the background and I couldn’t help but be reminded… words are powerful.

I’m not sure what that even means, but I’m all up on some Tumblr right now. Even have the iPhone app. Now to see if it’s all going to remain useful.
