They could try Woody Allen's Match Point of Crimes and Misdemeanors. In fact, that'd be a cool parallel assignment. They should definitely watch those movies.<br /><br />@ Michael: You post some kinda long rants about stuff.

My significant other never had any idea what I was talking about.<br /><br />I care. I highly enjoy your blog. I don't think you can worry about whether you're blogging right because I'm not sure there's such a thing. We all have lives outside of the computer (well, some of us do. Maybe not me so much) and so we can only do what we can do.<br /><br />Enjoy your fall break!M.J.

I've chosen to post once a week, and to keep it very short. I've allotted about 15-20 minutes a day to viewing and commenting on blogs I follow, usually while I eat breakfast. <br /><br />I think it's pretty easy to tell from people's blogs (and tweets and facebook posts) how effective they are at time management. :)Julie Daineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350205936357263571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-43659873027546704212011-10-24T09:52:14.347-06:002011-10-24T09:52:14.347-06:00I care.

Some I try to keep up with every day and others only if I have time set aside for it. If I tried to keep up with everything I've found that I like, I would run out of time to do the basic things in life, like eat, sleep and poop.<br /><br />I also read <i>Crime and Punishment</i> for fun, which is kind of funny, because that is not a fun book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-38217192151459837472011-10-24T09:25:14.948-06:002011-10-24T09:25:14.948-06:00I have a horrible list of blogs that I check on ev...I have a horrible list of blogs that I check on every day.
