I don't think the Red Sox should fire Terry Francona so I asked Dave to make a picture I could use to show my support. Dave is awesome. So is Terry Francona. #TeamTito



Thanks to Thea for helping out.

You know I love this stuff. Especially late at night.

Sports Illustrated has a new photo blog, and so far, SO GOOD. I love it all. You will, too.

This is one of 2 great Michael Jordan photos.

The Red Sox have had a pretty up and down season. I'm still not sure what to say about it, but there's humor in pain. Especially other people are making fun of my pain. Anyway, I thought these Tweets were good.

I read almost 10K words about zombies, you're damn right I'm going to share the link. This 2 year old article explores Haiti's real life zombie culture and could either be a great work of fiction or a sad piece of nonfiction. Check it out.

This movie looks great.

Michael Lewis is finally writing a screenplay for Liar's Poker. Finally. I've only been clamoring for it for two and a half years. "John Requa and Glenn Ficarra of Crazy, Stupid, Love will direct". Liar's Poker tells the story of Lewis' time as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers, the firm that pretty much created mortgage bonds. The leveraging of which, you might remember, were at least partly responsible for our current economic troubles. Why wasn't this movie made 2 years ago?

I went through my archives to see how many times I talked about them making this movie. 9 times. 9 times since February, 2009 I've wondered why the movie hadn't been made. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Now what am I going to write about?

Brilliant. I mean, worth watching just for the 'Carousel' scene.

Mindy Kaling is awesome. Here she is getting the NY Times Magazine treatment

Kaling would most likely find both the Fey and Ephron comparisons facile, irritated as she is by the media’s tendency to define funny women in relation to one another, as if they’re all competing in a game of musical chairs. A recent “E! Online” poll incensed Kaling by asking, on the hundredth anniversary of Lucille Ball’s birth, which of three red-haired young actresses is the next Ball.

“They’re saying that the essence of Lucille Ball was in the color of her hair,” Kaling said. “Was Conan O’Brien like, ‘I’m a redhead!’? Maybe this isn’t exactly the right person, but they would never think the Lucille Ball essence could have been transferred into a man like, like Sacha Baron Cohen. Or they’d never be like: ‘Who’s the next Peter Sellers? Is it Steve Carell? Or is it Danny McBride? Now, let’s pit them against each other and talk about both of their weaknesses, because there can only be one.’ ”

2 other profiles. 1 and 2.

I love this picture of Kermit and Jim Henson, but I have no idea who took the original. Anyone have any idea?


I've posted it before. I will almost certainly post it again. The puppet, it looks like it has feelings.
