Vacation entry: Oregon

Just a few quick updates:

I'm on vacation. Anyone care to swing by my place and make sure the basement hasn't flooded? Just kidding, the security system includes machine guns and pits with tigers in the them so I wouldn't recommend going there.

Watched the fourth installment of Indiana Jones today. It was entertaining and probably worth the money, but a few quick things I noticed: Ford and LaBeouf had some great lines but they weren't allowed to deliver them in naturally flowing places. Instead they were forced into places where they were as awkward as a 66-year-old dating a toothpick.

The "Marian" character is a bit too happy. Lots of smiling on screen even during the nasty parts. It's like walking across the BYU campus during womens' week. All those smiles. Creepy. In "Raiders" she's sassy and vulnerable and strong. There are a couple of moments she holds her own in "Skull," but other times ... sigh. The Herald's own Cody Clark says "A" but I'm going to have to go with a nice, solid "B."

Spending time along the Wasatch Front makes one forget that there are places where there's just a city without a dozen cities around it. Bend (pop. 75,000) just pops up out of the high desert after hundreds of miles of open road dotted by a few small towns.
