I hope your having a good time. I think later I shall curl up to the television and watch the District 9 now on DVD.

After watching six movies in two days I realize I have a few lists to get off my chest. Here are my personal top five war movies in no particular order.1. Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) Movies about WWI hardly get any attention. This one came and went I never heard it. This grocery store impulse buy turned into one of my new favorites. Watching the way French, Scottish, and German soldiers

Most media have heard about the venerable Editor & Publisher going under. The zeitgeist is obvious: when the magazine about the print industry is going under the rest of the print industry isn't too far behind.So how can the print industry stay afloat?This $64,000 question is what will happen to newspaper now? The answer seems to have presented itself. Imitate webcomics! A link at the bottom

You could also say I shot myself in the foot but the idea is the same. Thinking over things I said last semester and what's happening now. I said I wouldn't be doing going to college when I'm 30, hear I am enrolled for the fall. I found last spring I have a bunch of credits left so, I have to take classes to fulfill the credits. I made fun of my friend for being a Communications Major. Since

I moved to my new apartment. I've had butterflies in stomach and I couldn't help but be a little worried. I have a job now starting today. Delivering pizza isn't a bad deal. At least I hope it won't be. My roommate told me he knew a few people last year who got robbed. I guess I better start going to a few of his self defense classes.The nightmare scenario I kept running in my head was one

It's been half a week now since I came back from San Diego. It's such a great place to visit. Not just because of the Comic-Con there. It has a lot of places there and near by to see. It has the beach there Cornado and Old Beach. The Marine Corps Recruit Depot with the museum there, with veterans who talk about the displays. It's not to far form Los Angelos and Hollywood.

At the end of this of this last semester I realized I still have 14 more credits to go and the first that went was...NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Make no doubt about it I will 30 and I'm still going to college to for a Bachelors in Journalism. I should have graduated about 2 years ago along with friends who studying elsewhere. When I left the Marines I had

I worked on my radio internship on Friday July 3rd for the Crystal Lake Festival. My friend Tad was over and I had to entertain him. This was perhaps one the more intense weekends I've had since the Marine Corps. We made it about 5 minutes late to Crystal Lake downtown area where I dropped him off. I had to go the radio station to make it in time for the parade. I thought he would be watching

Working for the DNA has been great so far the one thing that gets me is writing. Not the worst problem but it is a little embarrassing when your a Journalism major. My boss told me to have an"off the cuff style" to "help me find my voice". Good advice to be sure but, I did have my own reaction to it. "Man I've been writing on a blog years now and I still haven't found my voice." We both had

Recently I took a personality online, and for some reason I can;' stop thinking about it. I got sucked into the crazy Facebook quizzes that keep popping up in the news feed. Apparently everyone I've ever friended on Facebook has very little time to take care of themselves and needs to find out what Twilight character they really are or what their secret fetish is. I myself have tried not

I drove three hours to go see the Mountain Goats in Urbana. Not a bad place. Funny thing is though when I got there crowd was the most hipster thing I'd ever seen. It was like something out of Questionable Content. The amount of flannel shirts around me was astounding. The rest was thrift shop t-shirts and American Apperal gear. Probably even a few Threadless shirts if I stopped to ask. I

Going to job fairs is a tough thing to do these days. I've been going to a few of them, and the signs there are not encouraging. The jobs just aren't there. Well, the job you want won't be there that's for sure. The lines there are the modern day bread lines of the 1930's. Every booth there seems to repeat itself. The one booth you want to go to is the booth that is closed down. The jobs

Okay, this is what I want everybody to go out do and look at thanks to the wisdom the internet.Go play at this playground. This will require a trip to Poland, but I think it's worth it.Stop watching television and movies, and just get everything from these sites. OVGuide, and Watch Movies.Spring is here so everyone has to go outside and play! Screw the winter blues. I knew I was in trouble

Apparently a professor at NIU has been busy doing some unusual research. Professor Brad Sagarin has been looking into the effects of bondage. “It’s a relatively understudied area of human sexuality,” Sagarin said. “It’s something that a lot of people incorporate into fantasies, but it’s not something we actually know a lot about. Literature written by experienced SM practitioners suggests that,

Youtube, as many know by now, has added TV shows and movies to it's library, it's really bad. You would think that Youtube adding this would be great for everyone, but it really isn't. Why? They added shows no one wants to watch. What's Happening? TJ Hooker? Who wants to watch this? All they need now is put in the shows that lasted one or two seasons like, Studio 60 and SO NoTORIous, then it

I went up to Algonquin, loaded up on waaaaaay too much caffeine, and had a pretty good time. I was meeting other people at the Web 2.0 meet up group. Everyone there had some sort of job, or experience with Internet. There was even a woman there who was giving a presentation about social media.A couple came all the way from Beloit, Wisconsin which I couldn't believe. I found it to be something

Looking all around me I have very many positive signs for journalists. It makes me think about what advice I would give any student considering college. Get a degree with something you actually need a degree for. I hate sounding anti-education especially against my own major but lets face it. Things are changing so much it feels like you could get more out of certain blogs, research centers

Now that Battlestar Galactica is over the fanboys pull out there clip boards and start going threw their list of nit picky and impossible standards. That said it reminds me I need to over mine. *Epic space battle with suicide mission goals. Check.*Hot Blonds and Asians. Check.*Robot war scenes. Check.*Strippers. Check.*They finally answer all the burning questions every fan has been pouring

Trying to get back into shape is something I've been since the winter break.  Imagine my surprise when they switched to electronic locks.  My regular lock was still on regular the locker and I ignored the instructions on switching over.  This of course was lead by a notice that I was required to switch to the new electronic locks.  No biggie right?  WRONG!After I was done exercising my lock

I wen to see the poet and Professor of English Nikki Giovanni. Who was one of the better speakers I've seen at NIU. She mentioned the effects of the violence at Virginia Tech, Obama, and proving what a dirty old she is. Well she was only joking around when mentioned how great it is to Michelle Obama as a first lady with a butt. It was quite an evening listening to talk about race, politics,

If there is one thing I can't stand it's a good webcomic that doesn't update. It occurred to me last week that it seems like half the webcomics I read don't update anymore. I've begun to think it's karma since I have been swearing a lot lately but that's a whole other story. One by one the webcomics I enjoyed reading have gone offline. I guess it's not that big a surprise since most people
