Movietime: Blood Diamond

josh | August 30, 2008

I watched Blood Diamond tonight.  My, oh my.  This movie is rough and brutal and raw in all ways, but it’s really well made and tells its story so well.  I have heard that there are many problems faced by those in Africa but haven’t done any sort of research into it.  This movie opens [...]

Last night, as I was driving home from work, I noticed that a car behind me made an obvious attempt to stay behind me by changing lanes.  When we stopped at a light, I looked in the rearview mirror and found that the wife in the passenger’s seat of the car was using the camera [...]

Offerings

We’re putting in an offer on a house today.  It’s in Kearns, Utah, and it’s pretty nice.  It’s a little over 2600 square feet, though only about 1500 of it is finished.  We really like the neighborhood and the location, so putting a little time and money into finishing the basement will be fun.

I’d advise this guy to learn how to control his anger before he does something stupid.  Oh, wait…
