Coming Soon: A Modern Love TV Show?
One of my favorite Sunday rituals is settling down with a big mug of coffee or tea, pulling out the Style section of the Sunday New York Times, and flipping directly to the Modern Love feature. The column features one essay per week on some aspect of love (romantic, friendly, sisterly), and they're almost always quirky and engaging.
Well, now there's news that a production company has bought the TV rights to Modern Love and is talking about what kind of TV series could be built around the column's content.
Ripped from the Headlines: NYT Prom Story to Become a Movie
Back in June the New York Times published a touching article about a high school in Brooklyn for kids who have newly immigrated to the United States. The article chronicles students in their senior year who have come from countries all over the world including Senegal, Haiti, and Poland as they make their way through that time-honored American right of passage: The prom. Now Miramax Films has optioned the rights to the article, which is titled "This Strange Thing Called Prom," and will turn the concept into a movie.

Do You Still Watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
Geeky confession time: when I was a kid I was mildly obsessed with Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Every year I would set my alarm clock to ensure that I wouldn't miss a single minute of the floats and balloons. As the years went by, I continued to keep my Thanksgiving tradition, even when my parents and siblings opted to sleep in rather than see some teeny boppers lip sync as their floats navigated the streets of New York.

This time, Pam is actually coming around to the idea of her mother dating her boss, but per his usual protocol, Michael is ready with a few blunders to messy things up. We also had a friendly competition between Andy and Dwight and — naked photos?
