Gone Baby Gone - Pretty damn good. Ben Affleck is a decent director, if not a unique one. The story left me grappling with the idea of doing the right thing vs doing what seems right. No easy answers. Took me by surprise in that way. Casey Affleck's awesome, and Amy Ryan is spot-on as an average Boston dirtbag. It would've been cool if Michelle Monaghan could act, but oh well.

What happened with iTunes?

Dude, I may be wrong, but you seem to make a lot of assumptions about people's tastes in your posts - just an observation. The caveats are generally unnecessary.

What's remarkable is that my Wilco obsession has very little to do with my VC obsession.

I'm gonna go with a good old fashioned brain fart this time.

I don't know the tribute album, but it's on Buckley's Grace, which for me is indispensable.

My bracket is ruined!! Mine too - did I go to USC or something? Why did I have them in the final fucking four?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

That looks...kinda awesome

Take a chance!

I like my Chris Martin like I like my pancake stacks - short, quick and only on songs by the Streets & Kanye West.

My brackets are showing more red than (something awfully vulgar)!

You had Temple going to the Sweet Sixteen too, hah?

I know.

Goddamn Temple! That's the last time I make a pick based on how much I love The Cosby Show.

I don't think we'll ever have an answer.

Those essays are ridiculous.

There were so many to choose from, and I had free rein on all of them. All of them, that is, except the old Raggedy Ann doll that sat on the top shelf in the study.

Yeah, I kinda thought someone would say that - I'm not that good at talking about stuff.

Season opener, yeah? I'm pretty guilty of being a Red Sox fan more than an MLB fan in general, so I shouldn't be surprised if you're right. I probably just never noticed.

Maybe, but how about June or something? Starting the season there is ridonkulous.

I wonder how people would feel if ction was a paid member of Obama's campaign.

It would be cool if they boycotted "because it's a stupid idea."

"Peaches" was played each of the final two nights, at least (overhead, on speakers, to be clear, in case anyone's wondering if Wilco covered POTUSA).
