movie review...well, not so much a review, but go see it.

Today, I saw a movie that I would have to rank as the best movie I have seen this year. . . possibly the best movie in several years.

I would recommend that you see this movie, BUT do not look up anything beforehand, and do not go in with any expectations. I will say that it should appeal to fans of numerous genres, and give you the following advice: don't let the fact that Jessica Biel is in it prejudice you, and enjoy the show.

So, this weekend, find the time to go see The Illusionist.

damn hippies and their treasonous lies

This article is preety interesting. What happens when a conservative, born-again, patriotic person joins the Army because he wants to serve God and his country, then get sent to Iraq to experience what's going on over there?

I really like what he has to say about his fellow church members who who quote "render unto Caesar..." to him.

ahh, the smell of fresh carpet

Our carpet has been installed, and we are going to buy a couch soon. For the first time ever, we are taking on debt with a capital D. paycheck to paycheck. transferred balances...you get the picture.

oh yeah, in other good news, I have developed ganglian cysts and the beginnings of carpal tunnel and/or arthritis. even as I type this, my knuckle feels like it is going to pop out and my wrist is burning.

fun times. fun times..
