I watched W the other day.
I was surprised because I expected it to be a complete Bush-bashing. The obvious. But it wasn't. Stone presented it more like this:
Bush is a good old boy who really only wants to do the right thing. However, he is being influenced by a bunch of evil people who often steer him in the wrong direction.
That's really more like how I believe the last 8 years have gone down anyway.

Back From Vacation
Here is the rundown:
Idaho: For the most part, quite dry and dusty, and terribly boring.
Montana: Green, tons of log cabins, and iffy cell phone service.
North Dakota: Extremely flat, pretty boring, home of the world's largest everythings.
Minnesota: Flat, perfectly groomed lawns even though you never see anyone mowing, and nothing to do.
The vacation was good in the sense that I was able to get some time off work, some sun, and to see my parent's vacation house. What wasn't great about it is the lack of ability to sleep in, having to do manual labor for two days of it, having two days of bad weather (and not on the two days I worked), and that not only was my phone in roaming but it also didn't get great cell service out there. I also missed all my friends.
Something I also realized was that it's not that I didn't want to take a vacation in Minnesota, it was that I was under the discretion of my parents. It was like being a kid again in the sense that I couldn't come and go as I pleased, I couldn't make any decisions, and that I was 1500 miles away from the life I set up for myself in Portland.
Will I go again? Of course. I don't know when, though.

It's Too Bad
It is really too bad about Bernie Mac. Pneumonia is nothing to scoff at, even though it can be unpredictable whether or not it will turn into something deadly.
It's also evidence that having piles of money can't always save you when you are sick. Sometimes it is all just luck of the draw.
