More debate over the City Hall streetscape. I'm not nuts about big plazas. They can have this creepy, abandoned feel. Keep the parking, please, and spend the money on bus shelters or something else from this list . Valuable research, I'm sure, but maybe a little oversensitive. Sure, sure, ...

1) Too Late to Say Goodbye : Yes, the Lifetime movie based on the true crime book by Ann Rule based on the real-life story of the dentist who murdered his wife and his former girlfriend and made them both appear to be suicides. You got a problem with that? I think, more than anything, watching ...

Blake has some info on the jail's cost here, including, mostly, a cost-per-square-foot analysis. Cutbacks also mean UGA may not offer every class a student needs to graduate at a time when it can be taken. I'm sure that contributes as well. I'm really proud of the ABH for this editorial on ...

1) Julie and Julia : So, the film does a disservice to the smart, hilarious, foul-mouthed Julie Powell by making her seem more of a whiny drip and by far minimizing her troubles (the apartment in Queens, for example, seems fairly palatial, and when she gripes, "Is every night going to be like ...

The college football season's not quite over, but I think I can say with some confidence that this photograph really managed to predict what Georgia turned out to be quite well . Which is to say: we have little dicks, and we don't know how to make it seem as though we don't. We also don't know ...

Margaret Talbot's piece on using a modified version of cognitive-behavioral therapy to rewrite nightmares is pretty interesting stuff (Nov. 16 New Yorker ; not free), although some of that may be just from a morbid outsider's perspective. I'm not much of a dreamer, or at least not much of a ...

Dude, this is not a good year for this kind of thing. Sometimes, when you walk around, it feels like everyone's tense all of the time, and that bleeds over into violence here and there. It just feels like every day in 2009 has been a hair's breadth away from tragedy. Ed Robinson's right in ...

So, Uga VII has left us. And don't get me wrong. I feel really bad for the Seiler family. They seem like nice people who love their animals, and having a pet die is always very sad. That said, Georgia hasn't exactly had the best record since Uga VII's debut, and I may at times, in my bitter ...

You know, the furlough days suck, but at least they're days off. Cutting holiday pay is certainly a worse option for employees. But the stock market's up. Awesome. Students are right to be skeptical. It could also set exciting precedent. I'm sure Richard Dawkins would love to write an ...

Burglary: On Nov. 5, a deputy was dispatched about 1:30 p.m. to a possible burglary in progress at a Natalie Court apartment. An employee of American Pest Control went to the address to treat the apartment when he saw a window in the back door shattered and the door open. He called for a ...

The Room : Lord, how to talk about something that is largely recognized as idiotic hilarity and turns out to be exactly that. I guess I'd say that even cult classics should try to keep it under 90 minutes--at around the 100-minute mark I'm way past impatient. So this has been playing off and on ...

David Lynn can read the legislators' minds. Does it really hurt to ask? I'm not saying I'm in favor of sales taxes on Internet purchases or removing fluoride from the water (I ain't), but shouldn't the commission decide first what it thinks is worthwhile as a goal rather than focusing entirely ...

I really enjoyed the article about Hollywood dialect coach Tim Monich (not free) in the November 9 issue of the New Yorker , but is it convincing? When your examples are Leonardo di Caprio in Blood Diamond and Brad Pitt in both The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Inglourious Basterds , ...

He's got the robo calls going again, too. I'm sure there will be some wringing of hands over this, but it's a good idea, and it'll be easy to pay for. The thing is, yes, these people are pigs and probably fairly drunk, but I also saw a lot of overflowing trash receptacles. Is it possible to ...

BellSouth/AT&T; has a bunch of defective modems, apparently. Enjoy these photos from the creepy Athens mall. This is a whole storefront of deflated kiddie slides.

Man, that Cartoon Issue of the New Yorker was like the least cartoony one ever. Not even an article on cartoonists or a review of new comic books. Nothing. The only surprise is that Chris Ware's marvelous cover gets four pages inside and turns into a narrative, the first time I can ever remember ...

1) Dancer in the Dark : Fairly ridiculous that, having seen nearly all of Lars von Trier's other movies (sans The Idiots , Manderlay , and Antichrist ) and being a big fan of that idiot and, even more ridiculous, having held onto the DVD a friend lent us for more than two years , it took us ...

Click on the ad to enlarge. This was inside the back cover of the New Yorker , so I doubt I'm the only person who noticed.

Elaine Ely continues her series on downtown , with slightly less annoyance on my part this time, but that may just be me getting used to it. City Dope (now headed up by Dave Marr) chats with Kathryn Lookofsky re: parking meters, and she leaves the door open for increased per-hour rates, ...

Grub Notes hit up Wilson's for the first time in a long time and The Jefferson House Restaurant.
