I know I'm not blogging here much, but whoever this guy is, his site may be of interest to you.

On Blogging

From Christianity Today:

Nearly three years ago, Alan Jacobs wrote in Books and Culture, "Right now, and for the foreseeable future, the blogosphere is the friend of information but the enemy of thought."

I'm probably guilty as charged on that score.

Two Things

Two comments on the video below:
1. Road Trip!
2. This is exactly how PoMonkey and I are going to end up, except that she will be the one continually giving up space to my growing collection of books.

Not sure how to title this one

The Cloud Appreciation Society - "we love clouds, we’re not ashamed to say it and we’ve had enough of people moaning about them."

Turtle Man

Does this cause orchid fever or is it the result of it?

MrG's NCAA Bracket

I scored 81.

The winning score was 177.

That puts me in 270,063rd place.

Based on what I know about and how closely I follow sports, that sounds about right.

Chalk -- B

I can't remember how I became aware of this film, but I popped it into the Blockbuster queue and soon it arrived.

Think The Office, but substitute your high-school for Dunder Mifflin.

Clearly they didn't have a lot of money, but they did have great affection for teachers and teaching. And actual life experience. PoMonkey, being a former teacher, absolutely loved it.

Hot Fuzz -- C- Shaun of the Dead -- C+

Who would have thought that Shaun of the Dead is better than Hot Fuzz? The former relies heavily on "inside" jokes that are unfamiliar to US audiences, which isn't necessarily a criticism, but certainly is an observation. It definitely has its funny moments, but it drags on a bit long.

Hot Fuzz, on the other hand, has few funny moments, and also drags on too long. Other complaints: the quick-cut editing was a cheap effort to ape Madonna's husband's style, and it's a bit bloody.

Or maybe I just don't appreciate British cinema.
