Just took a really really long survey for PBS...

My comment in the “needs improvement” text box: The weekly Brooks/Shields analysis is my least favorite thing about The Newshour, and I always turn the news off when that comes on. Their discussion adds nothing to my understanding of current events. I’d much prefer more original coverage/news stories in that time. Also, I listed A LOT of news Tumblrs as my sources for news....

George Zimmerman: Prelude to a shooting | Reuters →

A pit bull named Big Boi began menacing George and Shellie Zimmerman in the fall of 2009. The first time the dog ran free and cornered Shellie in their gated community in Sanford, Florida, George called the owner to complain. The second time, Big Boi frightened his mother-in-law’s dog. Zimmerman called Seminole County Animal Services and bought pepper spray. The third time he saw the dog...

Wherein I take on "Hope Floats" for Slackerwood. →

Smithville is a small town with a large welcome sign you can view from Highway 290 as you head to Houston. As Bernice spitefully states to Harry Connick Jr’s hunky carpenter Justin (love interest for Birdee), Smithville “wasn’t on any maps until we got to Texas.” Which dates the film, because obviously Smithville is now a snap to find on Google Maps.
