After a few months into the pregnancy, your Ma and I quickly determined that your Da’s paycheck was going to be stretched a lot further than before. So we started by (among other things) dropping cable. We had a DVR with HBO and a hundred channels of nothing; we scaled back to the basic tier and saved ourselves more than $50 a month. It’s funny, because as I write this I’m betting you’ll have no

I liken the last 72 hours to reading the screenplay of a horror movie; no one will ever be able to convince me that reading horror emotes the same kind of reaction as watching it. One is all about the thrills, the chills, the special effects, the immediacy; the other is more of a head-game where the seemingly endless exposition lingers and haunts after you've put the book down. But since

From the guy who brought you "Al Spoils [some movie I probably didn't like]" comes the first installment of the soon-to-be-a-classic SiS series "I Will Pay...". Wherein our hero will share a dream or a goal or a desire and how much cold-hard cash our hero is willing to shell out for services rendered.

What I'm really digging on with this one is your choice of color. The use of color leaves a little to be desired, but then that might be your overall intent and who am I to question that. But I like the crisp green at the bottom and the mellow red off to the sides. That and I like the one single red line that cuts across the car and into the text. You executed that nicely; it doesn't appear out

I just wanted to thank you again. Yesterday we walked all the way out to the lake, you were insistent on seeing the ducks even though we had no bread to throw their way. You rode my shoulders from the playground, past the tennis courts, and then when we got to that spot on the trail that overlooks the lake a crane flew overhead and perched itself on a faraway tree branch. You stared at it for a

Three surgeries and you’re not even two. The next one is an osteotomy. The way I understand it is that Dr. C is going to drive a pin into both your taluses, separate them, cast your feet back up, let things heal for November, and then we’ll take you back and he’ll remove the pins. In addition to that, they’re lengthening the Achilles’ tendon on your right leg because it’s grown more stubborn than

I like what you did with the place, whether it was a mistake or not. 'Cuz now I can redecorate however I see fit. Maybe I'll post up my own Pandora music box; Lord knows I'm listening to mine more than you're listening to yours.Speaking of music, the Internet Archive has ten (ie. 10) Animal Collective shows. I know you missed 'em at Cat's Cradle. Did you miss 'em on NPR too?

This is my brother-in-law, Brian Williams posing somewhere inside an Afghan National Police compound. He reports that they've kept him very busy since his arrival. It basically sounds like a simple schedule: missions every single day. No rest on the weekends. Some missions are an hour long, "but the bulk are in the 8 hour range".

Apparently the U.S. Library of Congress has deemed SY's classic Daydream Nation "worthy of preservation". I second that emotion.

I just finished adding two friend-created stations to my Pandora radio dial. Juan's is up there at the top (for now) with Stuck In the Middle With You Radio. That's right, readers, you don't have to give Pandora any artist names to create stations.

Basically, with Pandora, you're creating your own radio station. But not just any radio station with music programming, like all-but-three radio stations that broadcast in the Triad area (for the record, those three stations are WUAG, WQFS, and WSGH...viva La Movidita, fight the power!) that plays and replays all that fluff you've already heard ten times before.

But on those days when you (*gasp*) find yourself bored with listening to the same 'ole same 'ole, plug those eardrum damaging buds into your 'puter and discover some new music at Pandora.

So I got paid today and thought I would take a long lunch and spoil myself with a nice lunch from Mi Pueblo in High Point. "Thought" and "nice lunch" being operative words.So I ordered my favorite: Chimichanga with BEANS. Why the emphasis on beans you ask? Well because (1) I don't really like rice, the Lord knows I have never willingly ordered rice, EVER and (2) with a little one on the way I

While Greensboro bloggers had two different meetings going on last night, we here at SiS had a meeting of our own. (That’s right! Al finally paid the telephone company and got himself reconnected!) I think our longest discussion we’ve ever had about the blog before last night clocked in at ten minutes. But I was persistent, pressuring him with lines like “Hey man, we’re the Big Link the week!”

Let’s just dive right into One of The Classics of All-Time without so much as a gander at just how deep the waters are.

First I'd like to preface this mainly for Albert and his new found "enthusiasm" for our up coming event. You exhaust me.So I didn't know that Albert would be hanging out just at the same time when I was gonna tell Rick that we were pregnant, but I decided to tell Rick anyway. How could I keep something like this to myself, I felt I was gonna burst. Now Albert can be a dick in the biggest way, but

Whistler is killed. No, seriously. When you see Whistler walking around later on in the movie and for a half-a-second you're like, "Whoa...he's not really dead" then you've forgotten the little detail they threw at you earlier that Dracula can shapeshift and assume just about any form of any human out there. Yeah. So it's not Whistler when you see him later in the flick, its actually Dracula.

This was, hands down, just a piece of the most insightful review of this movie I could find:As to the film, it is never a good sign when your story takes 10 paragraphs of narration before the movie even starts just to set up the premise. Had they just listed all the other movies they were ripping off, I would have had a better grasp of what they were going for.I will add:Christian Slater reprises

I had two very powerful fits of laughter today. One fell in that "dark humor" sort of vein; the other falls in that "look at the doofus act funny" sort of vein. While I'm sure both are being addressed in their respective venues, I find it easier to comment on the latter as I speak as a state employee. I can't vouch for the DMV folks, but my office takes the term inefficiency to new levels.

Kimley-Horn & Associates is doing all of that. They also did all the work on Spring Garden Street a few years back. A great over-all map of all that they've been working on

Looks like Gonzales really doesn't like smut-peddlars. Good for him! Do you think he finds torture obscene?As if his appointment wasn't enough of a harbinger of doom, now he's gone and made it official by laying out his agenda. And this is typical neo-con strategy, controlling the vocabulary as it were (eg. criticism is "unpatriotic", former Baathists are "insurgents", etc.). I mean hey, we all

reports on diploma mills. Too bad UNCG's "on hiatus" Carolinian can't make a similar report, raise awareness. A $200-Million-a-Year fraud? I dunno, I thought Ezell's book put it at somewhere higher...

Big things are a-happening at Lafayette College. And Mr. Spiegelman seems to be prepared and ready for it.God bless you, Art Spiegelman. While the popular funny book industry continues in its futile, self-defeating effort to "grow" and "expand" and become something it ain't (ie. movies), we will always have high-water marks of Literary excellence that remind everyone what the artform can do and

I know there are probably a million of these, but I found this pretty humorous and thought I'd post. I attended a conference the past few days (hence my absence) and has amazed at the information I got regarding diploma mills from former FBI agent, Allen Ezell. In fact I was so struck by all that I decided to RSS feed "diploma mills" on My Yahoo website because I want to stay up-to-date. Here's

A former Greensboro professor was able to attend an "Eyes" screening all the way out in San Francisco. He made history here in Greensboro, but had to catch the documentary elsewhere. Wired reports on Tuesday night's screenings here.

"Happy Birthday" wasn't written by a "dude". One scene in "Eyes" provides a good example of the effect these changes had on its copyright status. King's staff is shown singing "Happy Birthday" to him when he turned 39 in 1968. That familiar tune, however, was copyrighted by noted educators and sisters Mildred Hill and Patty Smith Hill in 1935 and would have entered the public domain in 2010 if

Shaolin Soccer already came recommended to me. But now, having seen two trailers for Kung Fu Hustle (one obviously catered to a U.S. audience here; other one that tickled me more here), I think I'm gonna have to check this Stephen Chow guy out.

I love finding this story covered by Donna Wentworth. She rules. (Just as an aside: I'll never forget watching Eyes on the Prize in my junior high school, but not necessarily my high school. I'd love to praise my 7th grade U.S. history teacher right here and now, but I'm almost afraid now I'd be incriminating him! And I seem to remember that he had to show us the taped documentary from his

Well, apparently I spoke a little too soon. I still think my high school deserves some props, but I guess the lawyers involved don't agree. The bright spot that I see coming from this fiasco is that it will educate (the hard way) a generation of James Madison high schoolers that American culture/history should not be free. Making sure the lawyer who represents the dude who wrote "Happy Birthday"

The continuing adventures of Haggard and Wired. Don't miss the "comments" as Captain Hassle continues on his way towards a heart attack. A good review of a movie starring Pauly Shore??? Oh lookey here! I guess Lil'Anne was right, there really are pro-Bushite students in the classroom who are too scared to speak openly! Good thing blogs are available to all, huh? Now all the seethingly "silent

I subjected myself to a spaghetti Western festival of sorts. Four of the Apocalypse Awful. Awful, awful, awful. This movie is so bad, I'm almost willing to write Lucio Fulci off whatever list I originally had him pencilled in on. There are a few good gunshot/special effects at the beginning and a noteworthy (in its gruesomeness) cannabalism scene, two items that remind me of Fulci's cinematic
