David Brooks recently had a good idea for a column: Asking seniors to reflect upon various parts of their lives and send him their thoughts for publication at Thanksgiving. The whole column is good, but I'm intrigued by the idea at the top, of offering yo Go »Giving an Inch, Taking a Mile
So many terrible things have happened in the news lately that I thought I'd be numb to any further injustice in the world, then along comes a little thing like this and I remember how to feel angry again. A judicial panel has ruled that a sperm donor must Go »Haiku Review

Seen any good new shows debuting this season? I've heard good things about Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue as campy fun, both of which wear their Lost influences on their sleeve (and in one case, their cast). Go »Heaven & Hell
Rock Block finally has AI opponents to practice against, in Heaven & Hell. I don't know if there are going to be questions or comments about it, but I figured I'd separate them from other discussions if there are. Go »

The other night I had a dream about Jon Bon Jovi. I had returned to Bradley University and seen some old friends, and most of the dream was about that, but at one point I went to the bookstore in the Peoria mall, and he was there.
JBJ: "Hey, man! How you doin'!"
me: "Uh, fine."
JBJ: "Hey, that's great. So, what's up?"
me: "Uh, not much. I just moved back to town."
JBJ: "Cool, man. Hey, we should hang out sometime."
me: "I guess so. Don't you still owe me money?"
JBJ: "Yeah. I'll pay it back. So, what are you doin' for New Year's?"
me: "I dunno, why?"
JBJ: "Cause we should hang out, man!"
me: "Are you having a party?"
JBJ: "Eh, no. They shut off the power in my apartment."
me: "Oh."
JBJ: "But we could have it at your place."
me: "Maybe. Look, I've got to get going."
And I walked away. He looked like he wanted to ask me if he could borrow a few bucks.
