I have an embarrassing confession to make. Or, rather, a few. First, I always wanted to publish a book. I "wrote" one when I was 10; unfortunately, it got lost on a very old green floppy disk before it could ever reach mass publication. Second, I used to voluntarily sleep on the streets of 30 Rock in the hopes that Jimmy Fallon would one day ask me to marry him.

Pedroia's MVP Signals End of an Era Congratulations to the 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. He is the first Red Sox player to be named MVP since 1995 (Mo Vaughn) and first second baseman since 1959 (some guy). His league leading statistics and scrappy good-guy nature are all enviable characteristics, but there has never been a clearer sign that the days of steroids are over.

Secilmis was one of eight girls living in Kendrick's former Suite E, where bed bugs were initially found in just one of the five rooms.
However, the entire hall was evacuated, because, according to Hill House Residence Director Ken Geremia, "there was reason to believe it was spreading."

I don't remember the last time I was so happy I cried, or when I watched more MSNBC than I did NESN, but it happened during this Presidential election.
However, historical elections can do that, especially after eight years of President George W. Bush. Although President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama's administration has yet to take office, we can breathe a sigh of relief knowing America will not have another four years of Bush in the form of John McCain.
