New Trailers of Movies on the Horizon

I ran across a couple of movie trailers that I thought I'd share. You will need quicktime. If you don't have quicktime...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! After watching each trailer, you may read my comments below.

Numero uno.

Numero dos.

Trailer uno: Robert Downey Jr. may have just been born to play the role of Tony Stark. The director, Jon Favreau has been involved with great movies like Swingers, and seems like a smart filmmaker. I hope the good cast leads to an enjoyable and interesting movie.

Trailer dos: Given that the earlier Beowulf movie was "B-tastic", perhaps this one will be more interesting. The CG reminds me a lot of the Final Fantasy movie from a while back.

If you like, feel free to comment on either or both. Jaded & negative comments are accepted, but strongly discouraged.

Kick @$$ Song: Number Five

There are timeless songs, and then there are timeless songs. Sadly, this song has become more and more applicable since it's inceptiton. Is there a better "stick it to the man" song out there? Feel free to suggest one.

Trifecta of Good News & a Thank You

So, I leave on my honeymoon and when I come back I hear of three juicy news items. Both Rove & Gonzales have resigned, and a republican senator recently plead guilty over some lewd behavior in an aiport restroom. Seriously, how many "in the closet republicans" are there? The honeymoon was kick ass, of course, but these news bits are just icing.

Speaking of the honeymoon, Tara and I had a blast, and we look forward to sharing pictures in the future. I may also post a few on the blog eventually. Also, we both want to extend our gratitude to those who helped set-up, provide services, and also those who could join us for the wedding and reception. All of you helped make it a day to remember. Arigato!


I also plan on working on a DVD of the wedding and reception and hope to have that done within a month or so.

The Wedding & Honeymoon

First, Tara & I would like to give a preemptive thanks to all of our family and friends who will be helping us set up for the wedding ceremony and reception (which will be here). The plan is to start around noon, so if you are interested in helping, give me a call and let me know when you plan on showing up to help set up.

Now, onto the cool part, the honeymoon. Tara and I spent months throwing destination ideas at each other. We finally settled on a San Francisco/Northern California trip. For my part, I had never been to San Francisco and everything I had heard about the city sounds like fried gold. On top of that, we will also be visiting the town where Tara grew up, and I simply cannot put into words how much that experience will mean to me.

From August 13-16 we will be in San Francisco, where we will be staying at the SF Marriott Hotel close to Union Square. We are hoping to see all the cool sites, which will likely be easier given Mark's awesome suggestion of getting a "Not for Tourist" book. In particular, I am looking forward to Chinatown and Muir Woods. We are also hoping to drive down to Monterey and spend most of the day "playing" on the beach.

From San Fran, we will be driving north and staying in Chico until the 19th, which will serve as our de facto base of operations. We also plan on visiting towns like Corning, Redding, & Paradise while we are up there. We will be staying at the Hotel Diamond in downtown Chico.

On August 19th, we will be flying back to Denver and then staying in Boulder for a couple days at our favorite hotel The Boulder Outlook. We will then make our way back to Laramie late in the evening on the 21st. We look forward to resting for the remainder of the week and spending some nice, relaxing time together.

Blogger note: I do hope that a HONEYMOON is a good enough excuse for not posting for a couple weeks. If I have my way, I won't be anywhere near a computer. I have filled out and submitted the proper paper work (the BV-S9 form) and I hope HSBP keeps me on the redeemed list during my absence. ;)
