the hangover. man, oh man, this movie was fucked up! pardon the french, but seriously, if that offended you- don't go see this movie. it's in the now (too?) popular man-child genre. two groomsmen, a groom and the bride's brother head to vegas for a night of bachelor fun. the characters are typical and their chemistry adds to the drama. the only ( Read more... )

I am very nervous about driving in a) rain b) mountains and so I had a taste of the combination. Like everything that scares the crap out of me, it turned out to be fine. We crossed into Idaho after an hour. Idaho is...varied. We went ( Read more... )
