Those Smart Fortunate Bastards at YouTube

After doing two movies in a week (Little Miss Sunshine and Hollywoodland) a month ago when I was on travels in KC, it's time to hit the theaters once again. There are several good movies coming out that have caught my eye. Of course Borat is a no brainer but I keep seeing previews for this and it makes me laugh. Will Ferrell's great and Emma Thompson is a consistent fav.
Stranger than Fiction

Since I was moved by Alejandro González Iñárritu's other two films, Amores Perros and 21 Grams, I have high hopes for his newest release. Though certainly not uplifting films, the raw and painful depictions of his stories grabs me.
Babel



Ipod is a saving grace during the dreaded hand washing of the dishes. It has a way of rockin' me out and refreshing my mind with good music not heard in a while.
Rilo Kiley - It's a Hit

Lastly, I'd like to go out for dinner (and maybe to a flick) next weekend for my b-day. Let me know if any of you Cali blog lookers are interested. After a bad fish restaurant experience this weekend, I feel a need to cleanse the palate with something I know to be good, McCormick and Schmick's.

A Little Disconnected, but Still Here

Almost two months and no words from wis. Like everyone, we've been busy livin' the American dream. Work's good, I'm sleep deprived most days but that is very me. The night owl and subsequent vanpool napper.

I did get a letter from the FAA inquiring about an ATC position in Missouri a few weeks ago. Of course, I replied positively and promptly. Hopefully, I'll hear what comes of the inquiry within the next month and hopefully they'll tell me I'll be working in Kansas City.

It's been nearly a month since Brent and I visited the fam and friends in KC. For the self-proclaimed baby haters, I have proof to the contrary. No, I did not manipulate this image in Photoshop. Eddie and Brent are reading Emma a bedtime story.



Ok, time for Earl and sleep. I'll be back soon, maybe.
