Wall St. Journal! My work pays for it, but I generally enjoy reading the news articles. The editorials I skip though because they're basically far-right 'pro-business / anti-Obama' nuts at the Wall St. Journal. But the articles on business and the markets are still top notch.
I really want to subscribe to the New York Times, but would have to figure out when I'd read it. I used to subscribe but let the subscription expire. I love the Times, its the best international news you can find in the US.
I love reading newspaper in print. The entire process I find thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable. At the same time, I basically dislike online news and everything about it. I only read comic book online news unless something really fascinating catches my eye. Its just not the same. Computers suck
APBM,
Same question!

I tried to subscribe to the Sunday Boston Globe, but they did have anyone who delivers in my neighborhood.

I wanted to be on Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. I would have been the vampire that explained, "We don't attack you because we want your blood. We attack you because, frankly, you're fucking annoying." I was not in the room when they were giving out the Wheedon Appreciation Gene.

As a kid, I had an imaginary role on the original "Star Trek" series. I was the environmental engineer (whose bridge station was on the left side of the turbolift, next to Scotty's); I was also German, which enabled me to say things like, "Jawohl, Herr Captain!" (Hey, I was also watching "Hogan's Heroes" at the time.) But I wore a gold (command) shirt instead of red (engineering) because I figured I would look better in gold.
APBM,
If you could have a role on any current TV series, what would it be?

I would be House's boss, (on House)because I would love to tell him to shut up no one cares (I love House, but I would love to give him a taste of his own medicine, I think it would be fun).
Oh, almost forgot my question.
Um, if you could rewrite the ending of any movie, which movie would it be and what would the new ending be?

I would break The Dark Knight into two separate movies, moving the Two-Face transformation out into its own so the two films seem like two films, not like two smashed into one.

If you had to have one, what would your costumed kid sidekick be like?

Plucky female teenage sidekick, experiencing teenage years as only a female can. Attractive but extremely vulnerable! Basically, she'd be Jailbait Lass
APBM,
I like this one, so lets do it again!

I would go with female sidekick as well, mostly because young male sidekick might get the tabloids talking (I'm femaile btw, in case the "steph" part of the name didn't clue you in).
Plucky but not really a fighter, more of my "logistic" support as I wouldn't want to expose a young lady to the dangers of crime fighting. Essentially the kid who waits in the car or googles something for me as I bust the bad guys heads.
Costume would probably be jeans and a sweatshirt with a logo on it and a mask for good measure, again, not really looking for someone to bust heads with me, but more logistical support or someone to drag my butt to the hospital (or at least call 911) when needed.
Must be able to drive.
Ok, let's be deravitive!
If you could be a sidekick, what type of sidekick would you be (and if you want who would you be a sidekick of)?

Leave myself out of the fridge overnight. :drummroll: Thank yew folks, I'll be here all week
(well, I won't, actually)
but seriously, ladies and germs... I like to travel. I rarely get to actually "spoil" myself; last time I could do that was a couple weeks in Italy back in 02.

I love to travel, so that's one answer, but in all honesty the best way I spoil myself is I go out to bars / restaurants with my friends (and wife) and just have a great time without caring how much I spend. I don't do it too often anymore, but I do try to recapture the 22 year old Cobie who would spend $100 at the bar on Friday night and not feel even the slightest bit guilty. Except now I allocate it more to include cab rides, food afterwards and other things...I *did* learn some things these last couple years
APBM,
What's your reccomendation of a great place to travel to that most people on LW have never heard of? Cost isn't an issue, but make it somewhere relatively easy to get to.

Pic doesn't do it justice. Blue sky, electric teal water (I think that's from mineral run-off up in the mountains.), pines, snowcaps... sooo gorgeous, especially in Summertime.
Any Photo's Been Mounted ?
Are you a camera-snappin' fiend on vacation, or would you rather let somebody else handle it ?

I like to take a lot of pictures of scenery or cool buildings and things like that. My wife hates it if there isn't a person in the picture, yet doesn't want it to be her...

Often. When I was a kid, for science fairs or boy scouts. As a reporter, I'd sometimes get caught in a pic the competing paper took. After I left the paper, reporter friends of mine would still try to get me in there from time to time.
APBM,
same Q

Lake Louise is similar. Apparently tourists often inquire as to what the locals put in the water to get it that color!

No picture in the newspaper, but I did have a letter to the editor printed and I have been interviewed twice on TV as the man-in-the-street.
