Had a great time at the @newyorkredbulls arena today and walked away a 2012 season ticket holder.
Watching Henry score the winning goal for Arsenal in the 90th minute live from the @NewYorkRedBulls VIP Club Room was an awesome experience.
LOST valentines, part 4.
For at least two years (thanks to a Leap Year) LOST had a new episode on Valentines Day. This sure made things complicated.
Poll: 20% of Republicans leaning to Obama
In every case except the match-up against Ron Paul, more than 20 percent of Republican voters said they are more likely to support Obama than the Republican challenger. And Ron Paul is close, as 19 percent of Republicans said they are more likely to support Obama than Paul.
Making the situation more bleak for opponents of Obama, independent voters are apparently quite put off with the Republican nomination fight. While polls last fall showed them leaning Republican by roughly a two-to-one margin, they are now either split evenly or favoring Obama.
The Rules To Properly Enjoy a Film
Rule 1. (to kill expectation)
Go into the film without having read or watched anything. Trailers are acceptable, as they are sometimes created by film directors themselves, though even that sometimes is questionable.Rule 2. (to kill projection)
Assess what the film is trying to say or achieve within the realm of what kind of movie it is trying to be. Do not project your own expectations. Let the film dictate the level of expectation, be that tonally, narratively or conceptually.Then, assess how well you think the film reaches whatever goals it set out to achieve.
Rule 3. (to kill hype)
Don’t talk about the film with anyone who has not seen it, except if you’re encouraging them to go see it. Only discuss the film with those that have seen it, and discuss it hard. That’s what it’s there for.

The only real edginess is honesty.
I’m kind of obsessed with organization and productivity. For many years I was addicted to Tasks in Gmail, but when I switched to the iPhone I found there was no elegant and free way to use Tasks anymore.
Then I found Wunderlist which is an amazing task app that I’ve become obsessed with. I performs largely the same function of Google Tasks but is beautifully packaged and can be accessed on your phone, computer or on the web. I really can’t recommend it enough for helping to keep your life organized.
Wunderlist is new to me! Thanks.

hey did you guys know that i got a Dear Sugar tattoo on friday? from #41, Like An Iron Bell:
“Do you realize that your refusal to utter the word love to your lover has created a force field all its own? Withholding distorts reality. It makes the people who do the withholding ugly and small-hearted. It makes the people from whom things are withheld crazy and desperate and incapable of knowing what they actually feel.
So release yourself from that. Don’t be strategic or coy. Strategic and coy are for jackasses. Be brave. Be authentic. Practice saying the word love to the people you love so when it matters the most to say it, you will.
We’re all going to die, Johnny. Hit the iron bell like it’s dinnertime.”
That’s awesome.
The Chimerist: Home
This is what my home page looks like, and I’m hoping you’ll post yours, too, Maud. I do use my tablet for work-related reading more than anything else, which is why NetNewsWire (for RSS feeds) and Instapaper (for the more substantive stories from those feeds) are in first place.
People…
I’ll be following this cool Tumblr.
