So Who Else Saw 'Indiana Jones?'
If you’re a red-blooded Amurican, chances are you devoted a few hours this weekend to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and chances are that you also emerged from it with a strong opinion.

This is mostly due to laziness, but a small part of me also didn’t like seeing the “death” and “sad” tags having such prominent places in my tag cloud.

Thanks for the Memories, Reality Remix

Fantastic!
Last night, I complained that the fix was in for David Archuleta to win American Idol, but how wrong I was. In an instant (precisely one instant after my Tivo cut off, grrr), this entire season was redeemed when relative underdog David Cook swooped in and took the victory. I let out a celebratory “YES!” …
