The NXT Desk NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Or, more importantly, we need your cheap labor!

Maybe it's the change in the air here in the building (or soon the be former building).

We're going without new release reviews today. I know, I know, you must feel sadness in your heart.

This morning I turned to a colleague and said, "Why is it that even when you know something is coming that you can still be surprised?" Was I talking about: a.) The Fate of the Boston Globe b.) My post-screening feelings for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"

Before we jump into all the crazy shenanigans you can get yourself into this weekend, I have to make one quick programming note.

Some of you may have been noticing little hints lately about changes and news coming up on the NXT Desk. After my run on the Elections Desk it seems like things have been constantly in flux. Well the news is this: I'm gone till December.

Here's the bad news, people - (no, the Internet pipe is not broken again) I'll be gone all of this week off in California. Actually, that's great news for me. I'll explain.

"Hello friends, welcome to the tea party."

So, things have been in a constant state of flux down here at Press Herald Plaza in the last week. The NXT Desk did not go unaffected.

I was a bad blogger last week. I'll admit it. I could have taken the easy route and said I was off for the Holidays, but I owe you more than that. With everything we've been through you deserve better.
