two films about chicago

i really do mean two films, this isn’t one of those ’43 conversations with the woman’ or ‘-8 degrees between’ or whatever movies, where ten seemingly disconnected characters are discovered — sometimes gradually, but nearly always with some kind of big reveal in the last five minutes — to be TOTALLY

spoilers redux: et tu, NYT?

i am ashamed of you. [spoiler-free description of what i am talking about] as my very wise mother has often said, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

spoilers - about them, not containing them

so, apparently, the entirety of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been posted online as photos – some sources I’ve seen mention Photobucket, others BitTorrent. it seems Scholastic (the publisher in the US) has obtained a subpoena to get the name of the person, and so on. some folks

oh where, oh where is cg… sorry. couldn’t help that. well, here’s what i’ve been up to. perhaps this will assuage my no-posting guilt and allow me to just bravely move onward. i left off, dear readers, in mid June immediately following the end of the spring

courtney's cardinal rules of karaoke

First, dear readers, an apology for my extended absence. I promise to mend my wicked ways and catch up – But a quick post just to brush the cobwebs off. On Thursday, as a send-off for our much-beloved Josh, a number of DePaulian library folk gathered at Carol’s Pub (that

a lovely summer evening at ravinia

well, Peter beat me to the punch on this one, so you can read about his take as well, but yesterday evening he and Conrad and myself enjoyed a really nice evening of music, dinner, and company at Ravinia: Seu Jorge and Cesaria Evora. i’ve lived in Chicago nearly

the world is not flat

so, along with a bazillion other people, i have been keeping an eye open for the latest Common Craft “…in Plain English” videos. I posted on these at my other blog – right now there’s one on RSS (watch it, then subscribe to my blog feed, if you haven’t

exciting, or scary?

Google is cool, I’m down with that Kool-aid … but when you’re little, Big Brother is an awe-inspiring, cool guy too. I guess we just hope for the best? Thoughts? BBC: Google’s Email for Universities

working from home

I am at home today (on vacation hours, I hasten to add) doing homework. I did have to go into the office from 9-10am to cover my desk shift, since it’s a bit hard to get someone to cover the first hour of the week without much notice. I’

not quite phrenology

finger length may mean something, other than simply how long your fingers are, so it seems. so, what if this only manifests on one hand? does that mean that you are half again as much likely? also, what about girls who are good at math? Francis, how do you stack

[insert clever name here]

so, i’ve been thinking a new project for me might be to write up a short review of the movies i’ve watched, since i find the Netflix rating system to be inadequate. i don’t think i’m the only one with this issue – how many films, truly,
