1. Articles in the DMN for $200, please, Alex: Blogger who, despite workshopping some jokes, failed to write a funny post about Eric Aasen’s Jeopardy-speak filled profile of Terry Linwood, a Plano resident who cleaned up on a recent run on the Alex Trebek-hosted quiz show. Ding! Who is Laura Kostelny?
2. Moving on to matters of church, First Baptist Church of Dallas announced plans to spend $130 million on pumping up its six-block campus. Expect a new sanctuary, state-of-the-art education building, and high-def televisions.
3. In (more) entertainment news. Paranormal Activity was second at the box office this weekend. The movie, which by now you surely know was made for about $11,000, has earned a staggering $84.8 million to date. What’s the Dallas connection? Me. I saw it this weekend. Oh, and star Katie Featherston is an SMU graduate. Someone should write a profile about her using punny demon terms so I can blog about it.

Paranormal Activity: that’s how you make a $1 out of .15 cents
Saw Paranormal Activity Friday. More entertaining than the movie, by far, was the number of under aged kids who sneaked into the movie and were crouching in the aisles trying to hide.
