Lately I’ve been noticing those NYC Tobacco ads on the trains, PSA’s on the local channels and it breaks my heart. How can people do this to their body and put their children at such risk?! I can’t say I know what it is like to be a smoker, because I don’t. I also can’t say how easy or hard it is to quit smoking, because I don’t. But I can say that you can do what you set your mind to do.

First it was Fox, then ABC, what’s next?!
On Monday morning I was listening to Good Day NY, Fox 5 morning news, and they were talking about how ABC and Cablevision came into agreement just in time for the Oscars. Really?! How convenient! They also stated how Fox and TimeWarner also came into contract just in time for the Super Bowl.

For those of us that did our taxes:
Wouldn’t you like to know if the IRS has received your paperwork?
Up in the Air transforms some painful subjects into smart, sly comedy–with just enough of the pain underneath to give it some weight. Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) spends most of his days traveling around the country and firing people; he’s hired by bosses who don’t have the nerve to do their layoffs themselves.

Sincerely,
NYers

Haiti’s earthquake might’ve been 7.0 in magnitude but the impact was much stronger, leaving over 200,000 people dead.
For the last 2 years I have been contemplating on making the switch to Wordpress (WP). Let me explain.

What’s on DVD Tuesday, February 23, 2010? The Informant!
