So, Rachel wrote about this shortly after it happened, but I wanted to get my thoughts down on the failure of IndyMac Bank.  I'm not a financial guy, not much of one at least. I do better than most, but I hate giving advice on the subject because it's like telling people how to play Blackjack - if they lose, they come after you, suddenly forgetting ( Read more... )

I was sitting at a light on Highland as I do every morning on the way into work.  I had the top down on my car, which I've noticed must be an invitation for people in other cars or people on the street to ask my directions as there is no barrier for noise to fake that I didn't see them ( Read more... )

I'm behind on my movie reviews from last Friday to today (yes, we went to a DGA screening on Rachel's brithday), so I'll sum them up in one shot ( Read more... )

I've been having a bit of a back and forth with another LJ member about politics.  The argument started because of a rant he had about how this time around, the fact that McCain has military experience somehow seems to be a detriment when last election this was quite the opposite as Kerry was riding on his military experience when Bush had little ( Read more... )

SO, pardon the geek talk here, but I think this is pretty cool.  Two summer movies out so far, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, are both making mention of what had already been confirmed to be a new movie about Marvel's equivalent to the Justice League, The Avengers ( Read more... )

It was family day yesterday at the Dickson/Ferguson Pool and a nice time was had by all. After Rachel told me that Sarah, John, and Charlotte were coming over on Saturday, I invited over my Dad, Sally, and Casey to enjoy the nice day and the facilities as well ( Read more... )

I'm still at work... officially the last marketing person in the office today.  The two people that work for me have been out most of the week, but my boss and my office mate are long gone as well ( Read more... )

It's because of this guy...
