i wasn't bourne yesterday

the bourne ultimatum
where the other films in this series excelled, this one fell short. whereas the other films were action packed and full of excellently choreographed fight scenes, this one focused on storyline. and rightfully so. after all, this film was dedicated to finding out how jason bourne was created. matt damon was great, as usual, and the cast surrounding him complemented his performance well.
if you're looking for off the wall action the likes of transformers or live free, die hard, you've come to the wrong place. i also like casino royale as spy movie that is better than this one. but this is the last installment of the bourne series, so if you're a fan and you're ready to complete the trilogy, you won't be disappointed...

i liked this film, because i have enjoyed the story over the course of this series. however, i think the average person wouldn't be so entertained.

the bourne ultimatum: C+

i think you SHOULD watch this movie. i enjoyed it very much! the story line is great!

a lot of critics gave the movie high marks.

but i don't base my opinions on that of other critics... something that roy and jim tend to focus on. i ask myself, "was i entertained?"

and i was! but was there anything breakthrough about this installment of the bourne series... no. were there any action scenes that weren't regurgitated from previous films... no. did the reveal of jason bourne's beginnings leave me stunned and surprised... no. that being said, i'll probably buy the dvd.

planning to go insane

this europe trip has been a logistical nightmare. danny and i took three hours to find an available hostel in amsterdam and dublin . tomorrow, we have to get some accomodations for warsaw , vienna , and prague . thankfully beth is planning the greece portion of the trip. danny and i ate sushi at china palace ... which now serves thai food !?!?! i know, it's a shocker to me too. we then went to barnes and noble to pick up some travel books. while there, danny noticed a nice pair of legs and knee high boots with a short skirt. she was a goth chick, which is not usually something i concern myself with... but goth chicks need love too, and she was a cutie. we then stopped at 4 stores before finding a reasonably priced plug set for european countries. who knew that it would be so hard to find such a thing... during the summer... when everyone goes on vacation... huh?

auf wiedersehen

i wanted to post this on the board at express... but after being gone so long, i realized that now just isn't the time for me to go back there. here's the so long, farewell speech... To my express family – Another chapter in my life is complete. One year and nine months ago, I began at Express probably much like you did… looking for a part-time job where I could have some fun, meet some people and maybe buy a few clothes. Little did I know that it would become so much more. I did buy clothes… shit loads. 1MX shirts in every imaginable color, denim in all 3 fits, and enough polos to clothe a small African country. I even had Aymeei as my addiction consultant, approving various colors and styles based on my known wardrobe. I would've been better had it not been for the damn Express Card people constantly increasing my limit. I've met a lot of people… from our regular customers with never-ending exchanges to the associates who've quit after one overnight floorset. Ther
