Thinking about opening a coffeeshop?

Alaska Airlines: First we nearly kill you, then we trash talk you on your blog
I’ve got a tip for Alaska Airlines and their employees:
Spend more time on making sure your planes don’t have holes in them, and less time on the blogs of people who almost died on your hole-ridden planes.

Hooray! HST’s Rum Diary coming to big screen (for real this time)
According to Variety’, The Rum Diary has a director. And with Johnny Depp attached, there’s no question it’s got enough star power to get off the ground (gotta love the Pirates effect). Could Hunter S. Thompson’s early novel finally make it to the theaters?
I sure freakin’ hope so.
