List to follow

The deadline has passed for the 2005 QHS Movie 200. I've given a few people extensions in hopes of shifting the balance of power at the top of the list, but I don't expect much change. Shayna astutely notes on her new (and hilariously informative) blog that the addition of a third woman (they now comprise over 27% of the voters) will have a profound impact on the final product. Move over Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson. It's Rob Reiner and Victor Fleming's list now.

Meanwhile, many thanks to Derrick Turnbow and the Brewers for retiring Derek Jeter with a runner on third and two outs in the ninth of back-to-back one-run games, extending the Y*****s futility streak to nine losses in ten games (and heel-clickable a 28-30 record). Movie lists, NYC birthdays, long walks through Framingham, 80 degree weather, and Y***** losses have made for a lovely start to June. Let's hope at least a few of those things keep up.
