The Sign Stealer
I don't vent very often here, but I have got to get this out of my system.
On Saturday morning, I got up at 4:30 AM to help my mom prepare for a garage sale that was to start at 6 AM. She decided to have it at my younger sister's house because she gets good traffic there when she has a garage sale, so we had to go to the other side of town, set up the tables and put out the signs. I grabbed the signs that I made the night before, which I stapeled to wodden stakes, and hammered the signs into the ground at the neighborhood entrances.
Karl Malden, 1912-2009

David Paterson sworn in as NY Governor today

Ah! Working at the JFP
Working at JFP is like nothing I ever expected or could have expected. I had the opportunity to choose between the JFP and another Jackson newspaper. While deliberating which paper to choose I decided that working in Fondren would be cool, so I called for an interview. At my interview Maggie asked me what type of stories I would like to write about. Here I was in her office thinking, "Yeah like I really will be writing anything, probably will becoming real friendly with those people at Cups." But I soon realized she really wanted to know what I felt like writing about. I've now been working for a little over a month and I love everything about it. I am actually writing, working on many projects, so I'm not that friendly with the people at Cups.
[Rob In Stereo] Don't Forget the Lyrics
The New Pornographers have long been the pop-music snob's dream band. It is a guitar pop band, but is also able to seamlessly add layered instrumentation and multipart harmonies when necessary.
[Rob In Stereo] A Question of Raditude
I have never been so thoroughly confused by a generic mainstream rock album as I am by Weezer's "Raditude." My initial instinct was to hate it, to pronounce that Weezer has at last become part of the pop-music machine that its members have spent their careers mocking.

A Win for the State's ‘Power Brokers'
"Power brokers" win out over the voices of individual legislators in a new set of joint rules the Republican-dominated Mississippi Legislature passed last week, Democrats say. The new rules are among the most serious and far-reaching changes in recent memory.
Arty, Flying Tacos
There's a saying that in the Spanish language, "The sopa isn't soap, the ropa isn't rope and the butter's meant to kill ya." That's because sopa is soup, ropa means clothing and the word for butter is mantequilla. But apparently, the butter-based mantequilla sauce at Jaco's Tacos (318 South State St.; 601-405-0499) is to die for.
[Rob In Stereo] More Than a Gimmick
There aren't too many reasons to be impressed with the last year in music. There were several radio hits that we weren't embarrassed to listen to with the window down; songs that we instinctively knew we would dance to when it came on at a bar in 20 years.
