And, uh, did anyone look at that interview?
Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.  Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.  -Langston Hughes

not yet, because, you know, I'm a lazy sack of crap.

But i'm reasonably confident it's going to run soon. I just need to get my head together.

The front page is now officially empty. And there's even two articles waiting to be posted.

A certain sack of crap needs a swift kick to get going, I think. Who would care to do the honors?

no one really wants to kick a sack of crap. Which is why, if you're lazy, it's advantageous to be one

Done.

Edit:  I find it ironic that the forum frontpage can be allowed to run completely bloody dry without a murmur by the same people who fling hissy fits if I suggest that a review of a newly released movie ought to run close to its release.

So...no posts is somehow better than a double post?  Strange.

it's better when the editor who usually posts is trying to get used to working a second job that keeps him out till midnight or later 4 times a week and has a hard time getting his head together for anythign more than he has to do at either job.

It'll improve when I get into my groove

and the issue with double posting was never an issue with "too much" being on the front page but a factor of having stuff to post.

Sorry for being snippy.  I too have stress at work.  Please forgive me.

Perhaps in the future, if you are indisposed concerning the site in this way, you could ask one of the other admins to cover for you?

Edit:  Incidentally, I should have a review of "The Prestige" ready to run on Monday.

It's understandable that you've got the 2 jobs so little time for TWG at the moment.  I think it's a good idea to have Skar or I posting articles for the next while that way if one of us forgets the other can get it.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Is Skar or the Gibbs Brothers going to do a movie review of Stranger than Fiction? If not, I'd be happy to, because I'm definitely seeing it. Though, the review wouldn't be until after the normal release date--I won't be going to any early showings.

But I don't want to step on anyone's toes if someone is already doing a review.

And I am working on a book review. But it sounds like you are backed up as it is, so I'll wait a little.

No one has called Stranger than Fiction yet, so it's yours if you want it.  

I anxiously await your review thereof.

;D

So, as promised, the review of "The Prestige" is up and waiting to be blurbed.

E, if you aren't going to be able to get to it today, let me know.

Edit: Nevermind.  It's done.

There's articles waiting in the queue aren't there? Who do I have to kick to get something new on the front page?
