Happy Halloween!

Posted: 31st October 2008 by T.F.P. in Life

I hope you’re all having a wonderful and fun Halloween thus far! I’m gearing up for the trick-or-treaters that are going to start coming around soon.

America’s Toughest Jobs

Posted: 31st October 2008 by T.F.P. in Entertainment

I don’t watch too much reality TV, so I didn’t catch that new show America’s Toughest Jobs as it aired during the last three months, but I’ve heard some great things about it, such as the fact that it was actually pretty entertaining and informative.

I haven’t done a Booking Through Thursday meme in ages, so I went over to the site to check out today’s question — then realized that I liked last week’s question about favorite literary couples a bit better! Here it is: Name a favorite literary couple and tell me why they are a favorite. If [...]

By now you’ve probably heard the tragic story of Christopher Bizilj, an 8-year-old Connecticut boy who died at a Massachusetts gun club over the weekend when he lost control of the Uzi he was firing and accidentally shot himself in the head. When I first read the headlines for this story, I was shocked. I [...]

I don’t have any players left for tonights Indy-Tennessee game, and the outcomes of all of my matchups are pretty much determined already, so I can post about my FF results a bit early this week. I had a great week overall, even though I only went 3-2 in the standings. The losses I had [...]
