I really hope that you enjoyed part one of our special New Years Edition. Come tomorrow for part 2, which includes Best and Worst TV Show of 2008, our surprisingly touching Best and Works Moments, and perhaps most importantly, our predictions for 2009. Kudos to anyone who can guess correctly which FaN blogger listed this [...]
Forget exes, let’s have a moment of silence now for the wasted hours with books we didn’t love. Deadly Harvest by Heather Graham. I picked it up at a Rite Aid because I was meeting a friend for lunch who’s always late. I thought it was going to be a sexy murder mystery, but instead [...]
A few of these books were read, not published in 2008, but luckily a good book is always a good book, no matter the vintage. The Book Thief was the best book I read this year. The prose is gorgeous and the story is unique and compelling. It’s going in my top 5 books of [...]
The darkest hour is just before dawn, and we spent some dark hours in movie theaters this year. Click on the titles of the non-mainstream movies to view trailer. The Blue Hour. It’s sad and boring and everybody dies in it. To her credit, my friend who invited me to the screening didn’t know what [...]
Our FaN team weighs in on the best movies of 2008. Agree, disagree or don’t see your pick on our list? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Not meaning to hate on the LADWP, but dude, why can’t they put out cool New Year’s ads like this one from Electrabel France?
Oh darlings, thought Cassandra from Baby Smiling in Back Seat did manage to guess that yesterday’s lyric was from “Dream Weaver,” she didn’t include the name of the artist, which means that you guys only get half a point. Ah well. You’ve still won for the week. But let’s see if you can really-really win. [...]
So New Years has always been my favorite holiday. I just love looking forward and back at the same time. To tell you the truth, I pretty much do that every day, but it’s nice to know that there’s at least one day of the year that I’m in the company of non-writers. New Year’s [...]
. A Proof of Nerd ID by Charles Cron SERIOUSLY — DON’T LET IT SNOW EDITION The average cost for the city of Chicago to remove a single inch of snow from its roads is approximately $500,000.
. A blogumn by Kelly Kaboom Fired. Again. Damn. Couldn’t be a worse economy to lose a job then the one we are living in; yet even knowing that I managed to lose my temper with a manager and thereby lose my job. It’s something I’m good at. Hell part of the reason I was [...]
