Alternative Deaths of Albus Dumbledore
The death of Dumbledore as written by other writers. I have not got the book just yet (I still have plenty to read on my nightstand.) but I do believe the speculation of who dies this time out. My wish was that it was Ron. Oh well maybe I will get to reading the latest Harry Potter in Septemer.

Movie Review: Charlie and The Chocalate Factory
Tim Burton's version of Roald Daahl's Charlie and The Chocalate Factory was an unexpected pleasing movie. Very different than my childhood favortie Willie Wonka, yet eerily similar. Plot very much the same. Supposedly, Tim Burton's film hewed to the book much better. The most striking part was the music. The lyrics are directly from the book, but the backing rythms are today. I didn't like it. I missed the campy oompa loompa songs of the earlier one. Danny Elfman is really becoming an annoying composer.


3 of 5 stars.

Boldy going where no man has gone before (2)
Sad news for all you trekkers and trekkies out there. Scotty has died. Rest in peace, chief engineer. You will be missed.

Quixotic Quest: A July book review
How to be Alone by Jonathan Franzen. A collection of essays which deal with reading or writing. It is about the insular world one escapes to when reading. As well as other essays about living the world.

It was the book I brought on vacation. I only read half of it.

Like Christmas in July
The Game Show Network (you do have to fill up the 500 channels with something) is showing The Amazing Race from season one to last year's season seven.

Well since I started around season three, I have set my Tivo to record. (A new one with a bigger HD and cheaper too!) I am not gonna blog about it but it is good to make note of it.

Quick movie reviews.
Fantastic Four 2 of 5 stars. Action with no action. Should've stayed in the 60s mileaux. Although Jessica Alba is hot.
Dark Water 2 of 5 stars. Boring. Not scary and the story is predictable.
Wedding Crashers 3 of 5 stars. Funny, but thinking it over it is just not that great.

Le Tour 2005
It's July! Happy Tour de France month! Lance Armstrong looks to win it a seventh time. I think that it is a sucker's bet to bet against the best tour rider this century. Allez, Lance!

Only thing though, I can't find an audio feed so that I can listen in at work. Do you know where I can find a link?

Sarah Vowell in the NY Times
I just have to provide a link to Sarah Vowell's op-ed today in the New York Times. It's nothing special. It's just that I feel the need to linking to her right now. Sweet!

Movie Review: War of the Worlds
Tom Cruise is a good actor. The Steven Spielberg's version War of the Worlds not so good.

I wondered why make a remake anyway when it is so like the 1950s version.

I hated the fact that what was added to the story was the father healing his family and saving his imperiled children. It did not help that Dakota Fanning was one of the kids in danger. Everytime she was threatened I was rooting for the aliens.

Same lame virus ending.

2 of 5 stars.

Caribbean Cruise 2005: A break from work
Once every so often I do get a chance to go on a vacation. This time a cruise in the Caribbean. We'll be hitting the Puerto Rico(? or the Bahamas not sure which), St. Thomas and St. Maartens. Maybe I will find that lost chick.

Alas, I am not planning on doing any real time blogging of the vacation, but instead, I will keep a journal and when I get back I will give it too you one a day. Just like the last cruise I was on.

Hope to see you, when I get back. But laterz for now.

Le Tour 2005
It is July and once again it is time for the sporting spectacle known as Le Tour de France. I like reading this blog for tour updates. They are getting better and better each year.

My prediction is Lance again. Of course that is the safe bet, but after the first stage today. It seems more likely to come true than not.
