I'm getting ready to leave for the past - 1864 to be exact as I'm a Civil War Re-enactor. I have been since I was 16 and a friend came into class, handed me a permission slip and told me to have my mother sign it and that on Saturday I was going with her …
Behind in the New Year
We're nearly one month into the new year and I'm already behind in my goal to blog more. I've been remiss in watching the awards shows, and horrid in catching up on the current films that are nominated. That said, I do have some things that should be posted within the next few days. That's …
The BAFTA Long List Nominations and the Arrival of Awards Season

Anyway, the point is that this article really makes me sad. …
Freedom of Speech Strikes Again!
While on my daily news quest through "The Baltimore Sun", I happened to come across this article. Once again, freedom of speech has been upheld! In short, the University of Maryland wanted to show a pornographic movie (rated XXX) on Saturday night. However, they were not allowed by the administration and the Maryland legislature threatened …
Even the Economy Leaves an Effect on Art
While looking around this morning and checking the news, I came across this startling piece. The Baltimore Opera company is closing its doors for the rest of the 2008-2009 season and filing for bankruptcy.
