Does anyone also have trepidation for the next Batman? As in, that Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker will ruin the Batman franchise? I fear that Ledger was the perfect Joker. By all accounts (early reviews), he was. Jack Nicholson’s Joker was great, but campy. I fear that Ledger nailed the Joker. I fear that [...]
Are you watching it tonight? Imagine this: the lights, the cameras, the drama and suspense, and after every pick the commentators criticize the player (especially if it’s an unexpected pick; generally starts around the fifth pick).

I can’t remember a time where driving to Queens was so ridiculously easy. There is a definite change in driving attitude – I managed to get to JFK in three hours, and a little over two hours back. Maybe if gas gets to $6 we can make the trip to NYC in that fabled one [...]
