Nova Brewfest is in a couple weeks, and there is a groupon for half-priced tickets (10 bucks)- http://www.groupon.com/deals/northern-virginia-summer-brewfest?sd=false&utm_campaign=UserReferral_dp&utm_medium=email&utm_source=uu8591698 I had already bought my tickets, but this is a great deal. I paid double These tickets are only for Sunday, though- I'm planning to go on Saturday. Just an FYI, if anyone is interested

Where did you find this movie- netflix, redbox? I don't have netflix anymore, I use amazon instead, but there is no option to "rent" the movie, only buy.

Oh man.....you have no idea. I have a full-fledged Efron crush now. And he is honestly the PERFECT male specimen in this movie. He does no wrong. Not only is he gorgeous, but everything about his character is absolutely flawless. Go see it, I really enjoyed it, and so did my friend who came with me. and just for you, ren....

I saw The Lucky One last night and I LOVED it. Such a beautiful story and so romantic. I don't know how Nicholas Sparks makes these male characters who are absolutely perfect men, but he definitely makes it harder for the average man if women expect their men to be as amazing as his creations! The movie also had fantastic music and really took me through many emotions- the female lead lost her brother in the war (he was a marine) and I could really connect to that feeling, as my brother is a marine and I know it would be devastating. U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive ...

Blue Moon is one of the most well-known beers, I had no idea there were people who had never heard of it. Anyone else going to the Rocktown Beer Festival tomorrow in Harrisonburg? I can't WAIT!

blue moon? is this a serious question?

haha, I saw that a few years ago. Definitely entertaining.

We finally saw Moneyball the other night and it was a great, great, movie. I love movies based on true stories, and the only thing that would have made it better is if the A's actually won the championship- but of course, they had to stay true to life.

Just saw This Means War- cheesy (but I like cheesy) and a lot funnier than I expected going in. I really enjoyed it.

Ok so my car has recently hit 100k miles. I have yet to take it in for its 100k inspection and a new timing belt. Spark Plugs are only a few months old (and yes, they are the good platinum or whatever ones that are supposed to be in there). I have an '03 Acura TL Type-S, and I am aware of a transmission recall my car had and the previous owner took care of (documented on Acura website with the VIN). My car still has an issue when driving from 1st to 2nd gear (around 30-40mph). It will buck if I am pressing down lightly on the accelerator at these speeds, but I can pick up speed and drive through it. Just an FYI, as I don't know if this issue (or the transmission) has anything to do with what I am experiencing. In the past month or so, my car has started to shudder or vibrate a little bit at idle. It doesn't shudder every single time I drive, and not every single time I am at idle. When my car DOES shudder, it shudders on and off. The lights on my dashboard dim in and out with the shuddering. My RPMs stay between 0 and 1, but the gauge thing moves a little bit (pardon my not knowing official car words). The shuddering is not horrible, but it's definitely annoying. It goes away when I start driving again and only sometimes returns when I am at idle again. Any ideas of what is happening to my precious Acura? I just paid it off, too p.s. my maintenance light is on, but I think that's because I hit 100k miles

congrats to Bud Black for being named NL Manager of the Year!

lincecum is so gross. as for the padres......sigh.

no it wouldn't at all

Yes. **** him.

why are you laughing about it?? Not funny.

I saw him pitch in person yesterday. When the pitch speed came up on the board, lots of people gasped when they saw that it was 100mph. Chris Denorfia still hit off of him and we won the game

amazing walk-off win by the Padres today. Suck it, Joey Votto. I hate you.

I know.

Still #1 in the NL

2 outs, and Hairston was on first. Batter hit the ball, it hit the pitcher's glove, then rolled past him towards the second baseman. Hairston was running to second, and he ran between the ball and the 2nd baseman, who rushed up to grab it. Hairston got to 2nd base, and the runner ended up being safe on first. Umpire called Hairston out for interference with the 2nd baseman. It is questionable because the pitcher initially touched the ball, so it can be argued that since he had had a chance to field the ball, then it shouldn't matter. Anyway, it makes sense if you watch the replay. So Bud Black told the ump that the Padres were going to play the remainder of the game in protest. I read up on what that means, and basically, the manager can say the game is under protest if he disagrees with the ump's ruling. At the end of the game, the rules will be reviewed by a committee, and they can overturn the ump's call or say it stands. If the call stands, that's that. If the committee overturns the call, the game will be replayed from the point in the game that the protest call was made.

Ryan Ludwick with 2hrs in the game tonight Padres win!

We can't watch Padres games at my apartment Cox has a monopoly on the broadcasting of the games. Time Warner customers can get it, but we are unable to get cable in our complex at all. It's satellite only here. So you'd think we could get mlb tv and watch the games? No. Blacked out. Sad thing is, most sports bars don't show Padres games either, because most of them have DirecTV, not cable. I hate Cox.

I used to like the Braves because I was in love with Dave Justice. Same reasoning that I like the Indians. But he didn't make me like the Yankees. and yes, ironic that I just made fun of Giles bc he was a wife beater when Justice was one as well
