Oh Boy, a few things!!

Soooo, the trade deadline came and went. The Mets did nothing. That's just great. I don't know what we were thinking, but oh well. And, the biggest news is that Manny was traded and believe me, I'm glad he went to the Dodgers and not to the Marlins. It's bad enough we lost two of three to them, but if they got Manny also? That would be horrible. So, we're now 1/2 game out of first and maybe a full game if the Phillies win tonight. Not too bad. I wish we were in first, but whatever. We need to kick the crap out of the Astros now.

So, I've been applying to a bunch of places now and haven't heard back yet, but that's common. We'll see what happens. I hate the waiting process when trying to get a new job. It completely blows. And yes, I did just apply to the A&F position and to another one. They both seem like really really sweet positions. And also, I found a writing position. The ad didn't give much details but they want a writing sample so tomorrow I'm going to spend a bunch of the day writing to get them some samples and see what happens. Probably nothing but whatever. It'll be fun just to have the opportunity and it would be amazing if it actually turned into something.

The past week I've seen a bunch of movies, both at the theater and rented, so I thought I'd give my reviews of them. This will not include the Dark Knight. That I'm going to save for next week. Just so I can give you guys some time to watch it.

The X-Files: I want to believe - Well this movie is what it was suppose to be, just a longer version of the show. It had nothing to do with aliens or continued the story. It basically just showed you where Mulder and Scully were at now(Mulder hiding from the public and Scully a doctor). It was pretty good but the ending was very anti-climatic, which kinda sucked. It just seemed to end and it wasn't very shocking or surprising. But, I liked it, no surprise.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - This is by far the funniest movie of the year. I was laughing throughout the whole movie. Also, the music for the play inside the movie was great. This is why Jason Segal is one of my favorite actors. It got me ready for Pineapple Express, which will probably be just as funny.

Lost Boys: The Tribe - Ahhhh, the lost boys. I feel really bad for not having this in my list of 80's movies. What was I doing? I might have to do that list over again somewhere down the line. Well, I'm not sure if you guys watch this show or not but I like to watch the two cory's. It's about Feldman & Haim and their relationship now. I'm not sure if it's real or not because I've heard that it's suppose to be planned but whatever. I enjoy it. The second movie just had Feldman in it for the theatrical version of the movie, which stars the guy who played Stifler's brother in the American Pie: Band Camp movie. He and his sister move to California and get mixed up with vampires, yeah yeah yeah. The movie was interesting, the death scenes were more graphic than the first movie. The ending was okay. Probably the best part was the alternate endings. There are two. The first one has Haim and Feldman walking on the beach with Haim telling Feldman that his brother(who was turned into a Vampire) is coming back for them. The second ending is the same only Haim shows Feldman that he was bit on his shoulder by the brother. So, I guess there will be a third movie.

I'm pretty upset with you Roger. It's the trading deadline and all you talk about is Manny for a few sentences. What about I-Rod, Griffey, Big Tex?? Which team do you think ended up the best after the deadline?

Also, do the Mets ever make a move? They really could of used some bullpen help.

We are going to the casino on Saturday if you want to come. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yeah Roger please make it to the casino Saturday. Mohegan Sun I believe.

My extended thoughts on the Manny trade are forthcoming.

Also, for when I deploy to Iraq next year (95% sure I'm going), I am going to start a blog just like Roger's. I hope that our blogs can be 'sister' blogs Roger, we can link to each other and hopefully I can increase your readership. Can you guys help me think of a cool name for my blog?

I may be biased, but I don't think anyone has it better after the deadline than the Yankees. You get Nady, Marte, Pudge, and Manny is in the national league. What more can you ask for? I guess you could ask for one more decent starter... The Angels did well too, but they were already dominant. They are clearly the team to beat right now, and I'm not sure if there's a team in either league that will beat them in a 7 game series.
