TIME CHANGE

Maybe I'm just getting old, but the fall time change always throws my sleep cycle off-kilter, producing the longest-seeming days of the year. At least I get a couple of extra hours to play a video game. Meanwhile, if any of you in the great, wide Internet discover something awesome, disheartening, or just plain weird, let us know! Take credit, come up with a clever nickname, or go anonymous. The choice is yours. Fresh rumors and movie news every weekday morning. I am Erik Amaya bracing for the future threat of longer nights.
