Forget Spider-Man III

Posted by jennifer o'callaghan

You don't have to wait until next Friday to get a superhero fix in this online video of the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder, but Commissioner Gordon really needs to clean up his laundry and who knew criminal scum had such fabulous shoe collections? And is it just me, or is that David Schwimmer?

Carry on, music lovers, carry-on

Posted by jennifer o'callaghan

Having just returned from a few plane trips on my vacation to California, I am perhaps a little extra sensitive to carry-on luggage woes. Which is why I perked up when I received an e-mail today from the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada  rejoicing that Delta airlines has eased its restrictions [...]

Reading & watching the same thing

Posted by deidre ashe

I bought a New Hampshire author's latest bestseller a week and a half ago before heading on vacation. Who would have known that the fiction book I picked up would come to life a few days later in Blacksburg, Va.?
When I bought Jodi Picoult's "Nineteen Minutes" three days prior to the shootings at Virginia Tech, [...]

On the other end of the spectrum, BoingBoing found a site wherein viewers upload videos of themselves "denying the Holy Spirit."
The site is The Blasphemy [...]

Lessons from tragedy

Posted by jennifer o'callaghan

Despite the craziness of the rain and flooding here, I am transfixed by the events on the Virginia Tech campus on Monday.
Where were you when it all began? Like many Granite Staters, I was dealing with the rain, mopping up bits of plaster and water from a leak in my kitchen ceiling. Idle enough. Virginia [...]

Guilty pleasures

Posted by teresa santoski

I love songs that are easy to sing along with, even if it means other people my age may question my already eccentric taste in music. Especially if said song makes you feel like a rebellious cheerleader.

The video is a trifle mean for my tastes - I feel bad for the girlfriend, even if she [...]

Another year older - check. Another year wiser - debatable.

Posted by teresa santoski

It's a semi-milestone birthday for me today (only a quarter-century until I can join the AARP), so I thought I'd share some of the wisdom I've accumulated over the years. I use the term "wisdom" rather loosely.
- When traveling to a foreign country, make sure you know how to curse in the local language. This [...]

East vs. West

Posted by jennifer o'callaghan

I am enough of a geek that I am checking in to blog while I am on vacation in California wine country, but since The Telegraph has school closing alerts on its Breaking News Blog, I just had to rub it in that it's been between 60 and 70 degrees since I got here.

My heartbreak knows no bounds

Posted by teresa santoski

I picked up the first volume of "Return to Labyrinth", a continuation of the storyline of Jim Henson's 1986 film "Labyrinth." In summary, I feel like someone just punched my cat.
When I first heard they were releasing a manga-style graphic novel version of one of my favorite movies of all time, I was elated. David [...]
