Movie review: Up in the Air | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2009/12/27/movie-review-up-in-the-air
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. December 27, 2009. Movie review: Up in the Air. Jason Reitman has firmly established his niche in Hollywood. With his third movie, Up in the Air, the standout director has once again taken us into the world of one of society’s most unfavorable characters and humanized them by walking the fine line between satirical light heartedness and strong, practical moralizing. But when reviewing movies, a lack of laugh-out-loud humor is the hardest thing to dec...

How I hitchhike to work each day | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/how-i-hitchhike-everyday
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. March 5, 2010. How I hitchhike to work each day. I sure have gotten lucky with transportation. I only live five minutes away from the metro so I have the options to either borrow the car from the family I’m staying with and pay $5 at the metro station. I can also take the bus, which is convenient but takes forever and costs more than the metro. I know some people have a fear of hitchhiking but everyone I’ve met is absurdly friendly, especially ...

If lawyers could write… | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/03/03/if-lawyers-could-write
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. March 3, 2010. If lawyers could write…. So after a month of working at the National Law Journal, much of which I’ve been dissecting legal briefs, I have full-heartedly embraced the Rikki King theory that all lawyers should be required to take a journalism class – and learn how to write a damn sentence. The average lawyer does not understand the following concepts…. The English language – What is with all this latin? Posted in Random self reflections.

A new type of writing | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/03/03/a-new-type-of-writing
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. March 3, 2010. A new type of writing. Writing for a trade publication has been quite an interesting experience so far. At The Daily Evergreen, Lewiston Tribune and Central Kitsap Reporter, I always felt like so much of my job was to find complex subjects and put it in simple terms, or at a sixth-grade level like we were told at the Evergreen. Http:/ legaltimes.typepad.com/. Later in the semester, I was told I should be able to write some longer featu...

Pac-10 basketball predictions | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2009/12/25/pac-10-basketball-predictions-2
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. December 25, 2009. As usual, I’m college basketball obsessed to the max, possibly even more this year because the NBA killed my childhood, the Hawks are lame and the Cougs are looking far better than expected. So here it goes, my Pac-10 predictions for 2009-10. Oregon – This team will get a boost just because they may be the only team in the conference with two real big men. Joevan Catron is not really a star but seems to get rebounds galor...USC ...

Go Cougs | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/go-cougs
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. March 5, 2010. Today I just feel the need to put in my two cents about the Cougs’ disastrous Pac-10 basketball season. They still could win the conference next season. But all the pieces are in place for this team to turn around. Reggie Moore was the Cougs best player for a while there in the middle of the season. He is calm under pressure and a potential scoring machine. Defense could be better but he was as good as any freshman in the confe...You a...

Now in D.C. | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/now-in-d-c
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. February 6, 2010. Now in D.C. So for the past month I have been super busy but now I am ready to dive again into the blogosphere. I was busy reporting and having fun at the Central Kitsap Reporter, where I wrote stories about crazy anti-nuclear weapon. Who recently broke into nearby Bangor Base, a survivor of the Holocaust. And a follow-up to a three-month old homicide. Investigation of a local country star. Posted in Newspaper adventures. Leave a Re...

The Newseum | Jewish Jones
https://jewishjones.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/the-newseum
A forum for global exploration. Posted by: Andy Jones. March 2, 2010. Like many long weekend days in my life, I found a way to nerd out to the extreme last Sunday. So I went to the Newseum, Washington’s D.C.’s epic six-story museum of the news. Given I’m the type who walks around museums at a snails pace, but in five hours, I saw barely half the museum. The documentary was one of like six or seven in the museum. Posted in Random self reflections. Laquo; The Supreme Court. If lawyers could write…. Leave a...
