Today’s the big day! Movie Madness finally launched and it’s exceeding expectations so far.
It’s just past 12:30pm and we’ve hit 157 votes (to put that in perspective, our normal weekly poll only gets about 20-25 votes per week) and people are talking. Mike went on KSYZ and promoted it, we got a couple of prime real estate columns on A-1 as well as the IndyKnow section itself and page 2 – house ads, web promos, flyers in pizza boxes – it’s huge!
So check it out – getindyknow.com – and this beast runs all through April so go back often and cast your vote 
I spent my lunch hour parked near a park watching the onset of a good old-fashioned thunderstorm rommling this way.
It was heaven.
So I took a few shots of the clouds because for some reason I like to do that. This was the best of the lot.
Didn’t feel like cooking tonight.
I went to the Devil today. Don’t tell anyone.
It’s funny that telling people you shopped at Wally World has become something of a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell thing.
It’s the jack Bauer Power Hour again. Hurrah. I accidentally took a nighttime cold capsule and could barely keep my eyes open much less do my recap after. Hate colds.
Yeah I know, lots of Smallville pics. This is not because I am obsessed with the show. This is because I don’t have any good pics from the day and we got started on Season three today
Copping out a little. I didn’t do much this weekend because I think I’m coming down with something. I feel icky. It better not become pneumonia again is all i have to say.
I did make a vat of stew this weekend and I think it was my best batch yet. It’s goooood. Mmmm stew.
Anyway I ordered season two and three of Smallville so we pretty much devoured season two today.
Today I built 64 web pages. Granted it was a mainly a lot of cutting and pasting but my mouse clicky finger is a little sore right now
Movie Madness launches next Friday and I’m so looking forward to it. It’s amazing how one nugget of an idea cooked up by two guys in the newsroom has become this huge beast involving 3 advertising sponsors, possible showings at The Grand, 2 columnists going head to head over the picks recorded for posterity, 64 movie breakdowns, and 64 little web pages.
It’s going to be so much fun.
I’ve always loved Stephen King books. I’m more of a fan of his earlier stuff – he kind of lost me after Tommyknockers. But he’s such a wonderful storyteller, especially when he strays from the horror genre. Don’t get me wrong, The Stand is one of my personal faves, but I really like it when he writes something like Shawshank Redemption or Stand By Me.
Eyes of the Dragon is one that’s always stuck with me and the kid reminded me that we actually have it amongst all our books (I almost bought it the other day.) It’s a cool little fantasy story and I’m hoping I can get Shan to read it when I’m done with it
Well if anyone at the paper is wondering where the full body imprint came from outside the employee entrance,
That’s where it came from.
