Super Busy
I haven’t written for a while. Been super busy at work with this new project, and home with various house projects. I’ve also released a new version of Jiggle Balls.
I saw “Angels & Demons” a week ago. It was pretty good (despite the sound level of the theatre being louder than a jet airplane). I loved that they changed the ending from the book. The ending in the book always bothered me. Looking forward to Terminator (although terribly bummed SCC got canned on TV). Even Land Of The Lost looks pretty cool (loved that show as a kid).
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
I Feel Like A Teenage Girl
Ok… I’m gonna admit it… I’m reading the Twilight books. Yes, yes… I know… the target audience is teenage girls (at least I think it is), but I’m really liking the books. I’m on book 2, New Moon, right now (almost done). The movie comes out next week. I like them for several reasons. 1) The woman who wrote them graduated from BYU (as did I). 2) Although it’s a story about a vampire, it’s not about vampires… it’s more of a Romeo and Juliet story… about a forbidden love. Check them out.
A Short History Of Nearly Everything
I just got done listening to A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. A bit long (19 hours) and a bit too heavy on geology and evolution, but I really enjoyed the cosmology and physics (especially quantum — I wish he would have spent more time on this). After listening to the book you realize just how volatile our world is. From killer volcanoes to meteors that could potentially strike and obliterate life on this planet. The fact that we exist here at this time is truly a miracle, but at the same time, the fact we exist here at this time is because this is the only time in the earth’s existence where we could have existed. Go back 100s of millions of years ago and we wouldn’t even be able to breath the atmosphere that existed. Go forward 100s of millions of years and we’ll probably be in an ice age and no human beings will remain.
You’ll be surprise about 3/4th the way through to hear the F word. I seemed totally out of place, but was actually quite hysterical in context. I recommend it, if you have the time, otherwise I think just tuning into the Discovery or the History channels will suffice. Now I’m listening to Sex Money Kiss by Gene Simmons. I’m expecting not quite such a cerebral experience.
One note: my friggin’ iPod refused to play past the 13h:15m:17s point. I had to split the file.
