So, I’ve been a pretty busy lil bee of-late. Last weekend, we had our first wedding shower. It was with all of our local friends and family. This coming weekend, we’re having one in Louisville with Ruthie’s family. It should be a hoot. Today’s my Friday in honor of this shindig. w00t!

I’ve seen Star Trek two more times, once at Monaco again and then another time at the Space & Rocket Center. It was in Omnimax, so it was very underwhelming. The size was certainly there, but it was like watching the movie through a fish bowl. I got moderately nauseated…not enough to toss my cookies, but it got pretty touch-and-go there for a while.

This weekend Terminator Salvation comes out. Pretty decent summer for movies, me thinks.

Last weekend, Ruthie and I met up with the Pierces at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. I’ll post some pics when I have some time. It was pretty cool, though it did rain. We got to see jousting and human chess before that, though, and wandered around a little bit when the rain settled for a while.

I’ve installed Windows Mobile 6.5 on my phone. It’s pretty frickin’ tight. I’m not using a stylus at all for the phone anymore. It still doesn’t quite have the polish of the iPhone interface, but it’s still pretty awesome. Windows Mobile 7 promises even more slickness, though that’s over a year away…I’ll probably be ready for a new phone by then, anyway 😉

…did I just see that?

Twilight is far funnier and more entertaining as a Riff Trax

I knew pigs sucked. That is all.

Happy Easter to everyone!!

So, the end of BSG was pretty fraking awesome. We watched all 2 hours of Daybreak, Part 2 on Friday. The end of the series was very poetic, and the way they tied up all of the characters’ situations was really quite spectacular.

In other news, it’s about 75 here and quite awesome. I really hope it stays this way a while and doesn’t snow next week 😐

A company fails. So, they go to the government for a bailout. Because of their willingness/need for this bailout, people lose confidence in the company. Therefore, investors pull out. The bailout funds initially received are now quite insufficient. The company goes back to the government. Repeat.

I’m sure AIG isn’t the only company headed into that loop. I’m sure the American automobile industry will head that way, soon enough (they may have already).

So what are the limits to this bailout mentality? What’s truly disturbing about it is that all of this is happening to companies that are considered to be “vital” to the American economy. So, we’re essentially bullied into forking over money that doesn’t exist–after all, we’d be heartless to let companies fail and people be out of work. However, how long can debt be run up before we just collapse because of the consequences of it?

I’m thinking the consequences of acting the way we are, if there is no interrupt of this loop, may be far greater than if we had let the likes of AIG fail.
