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.

You All Will Appreciate...
You Scored an A |
 You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes. |

The Dark Knight
I went to see The Dark Knight last night.
That was one of the few movies that was actually worth seeing in the theater. Heath Ledger's Joker was maniacal and who doesn't love Christian Bale. The only actor I could have passed on was Maggie Gyllenhaal---not because she's a bad actress---I just don't like her in that part.
Anyway, that being said, everyone should go see it.
