10. The game was not broadcast live. Well, that’s not exactly right … it was broadcast live on Canadian TV, so a few people up near the border saw it live. But most of the country — almost all of...

To show my understanding of plot, today, I have drawn the key elements of where I am in the story. I last left you with Thorin and his prisoner game , so the one thing you need to know is that Bilbo is not imprisoned, but is running around the Wood-elf compound invisibly (hence the dotted lines). I think my reaction as an unbarrelled dwarf would involve more symbols, color, and violence.

Look, I've been reading. I'll prove it.

Obama should make the centerpiece of his presidency mobilizing a million new start-up companies that won’t just give us temporary highway jobs, but lasting good jobs that keep America on the cutting edge. The best way to counter the Tea...

Ladies with bobs, fake eyelashes, and sweet shoulder dance moves? If I'd seen this propaganda as a kid, heckens yes i would have read this book! NOTE: I only know that this is Leonard Nimoy because YouTube told me. And I only know how Leonard Nimoy is famous because Wikipedia told me; I've never seen a single Star Trek episode or movie.

Another surprising area for sharp memory is the taste and texture of cheap candy. Not imported chocolates, but Red Hots, Good and Plenty, Milk Duds, Paydays, Chuckles. I dreamed I got a box of Chuckles with five licorice squares, and...

here's what i've got so far. Gandalf shows up at Bilbo's house like a creepy old uncle, then Gandalf and a horde of dwarves crash Bilbo's house, eat all of his food and drink all of his wine like a big bacchnalian scene from Animal House sans femmes. There are more than a few jokes about how Bilbo would make a better grocer than a burgler. Unclear at this point why anyone thinks Bilbo would be a burglar, because he's still meant to be the character from Babe the Pig. The adventure begins, but Bilbo prefers to be at home...

Isn’t it interesting that Tumblr and FourSquare are NYC’s major contributions to social software in the past couple years? I have a theory! They share this commonality: they’re both semi-closed networks. To wit: Though wildly successful, both platforms still somehow...

Lagniappe derives from New World Spanish la ñapa, "the gift,” and ultimately from Quechua yapay, "to give more.” The word came into the rich Creole dialect mixture of New Orleans and there acquired a French spelling. It is still used...

The deal with fish oil, I found out, is that a considerable portion of it comes from a creature upon which the entire Atlantic coastal ecosystem relies, a big-headed, smelly, foot-long member of the herring family called menhaden, which a...
